shiny pokemon

A pokemon encountered in the wild with an alternative coloring; they also sparkle as they come out of your pokeball once you catch it - which is highly advised, seeing as there is a 1 in 8,192 chance of encountering one each battle. It's a pretty good idea to use a master ball on one if you see one, as the pokemon can sometimes flee before you get a chance to throw your pokeball or you can accidentally weaken it too much and KO it - which is a little like liquid gold running through your fingers.

Josh encountered a shiny pokemon - a Bellsprout - last week; he was so excited that he jumped up and down and accidentally made his Charizard use Fire Blast. He is now in the midst of a deep depression.

Pokemon Denial

When something is labeled as "uncool" and people suddenly pretend they don't know anything about it because they think it will make them look bad by association. Coined for people who deny knowing the names of ANY Pokemon, even if they spent several years of their childhood memorizing every single one from the first games.

Alternatively, can be used to describe someone who makes fun of someone else for knowing something that they themselves know, but would not admit to because it's uncool.

Ex: When you use a pokeball in Super Smash Bros, say the name of the Pokemon out loud and your friends make fun of you for knowing it (even if it says its own name in the game).

I usually play as Charizard in Brawl.
Uh... Which one is Charizard again?
Dude, we used to play Red and Blue together EVERY DAY. I think you're in Pokemon Denial.
