This all started 'cause someone lost a shiny pidgey? Lost all respect.
So suppose we now get a pop-up with slow mo every time a shiny pidgey comes in. My screen will practically freeze every 10 waves ._.

Shinies were hard to catch and were made easier to catch. The joy in catching a shiny relies in it being hard to catch, if you make it easier it doesn't represent a challenge and it will be like a common pokemon. Besides, when a lot of people own the same shinies you have, then it's not even rare. So what's the use of the shiny now? I now tend to look at it as a normal poke that gets extra exp. Yes that's what the shiny has become: it doesn't make you a great pokemon trainer as it's easy to catch and you've more dificulties to trade, as everyone now seems to have lots of shinies.

If you lose a shiny, just don't get discouraged so much. Just say a few insultating words to yourself and pay attention next time, but if you're unable to catch shinies, don't come here making a suggestion that will ruin the magic behind shinies (ugh, yes it sounds gay as I write this lol) so that you become able to.

EDIT: No personal offense intended, I just hate this suggestion as much as the post shows.

Slowmotion? Tingle Noise? Pop ups?

What will be next when a Shinie comes in?
A flying pokeball so you don't even have to catch it anymore?

Wipe your a**and stop crying becouse you lost a shinie, chances har that in your next run you will encounter it once again, and again... Oh... And AGAIN!
They are everywhere. Not even hard to find.

If a pop up shall come everytime a shinie enters we will all just se thouse damn pop ups every 5 sec...

But hey, if the whiners can get the pop up, then I want it back to 1/10k chances to see a shinie.

Really? All this because of a goddamn Pidgey? I've seen so many shiny Pidgies at this point that I've started to gain a sick pleasure of letting my pokemon rip it to pieces, thus preventing it from lending its genes to the future Pidgey population.

Goddammit you troll. Now shinies are ruined for all of us. Plus, if I wanna grind money, I can't because THERE'S GONNA BE A DAMN POP UP EVERY FIVE SECONDS FOT THAT DAMN PIDGEY. Are you happy now? DID YOU GET THE DAMN SHINY PIDGEY YET? DID YOU? Goddammit, might as well let my brother play this game for a few days, he's 7, and by the time he's done, he'll have completed my shiny collection.
