Awesome shiny Pokemon found today

Ok so I never was any good at Pokemon. Kids beat me in battle all the time. I never do extra stuff like EV breeding or get the 'dex filled etc (except for Black but that was easy). I once saw a shiny Zubat. I didn't know what it was, so I fainted it... But that was yeeaaaarrrssss ago. Anyway, so happy last year to catch a shiny Basculin. Now today, found a shiny Spoink on route 8 in my Y game. Yay got me a shiny! No breeding, no trade, no shiny medal or keychain or whatever from BW2 needed! Just good old random encounter. Wooohoooo! Another thing, weird. Got ambushed in route 8 by group of Seviper, and one Zangoose. Wanted said Zangoose. Seviper all attack Zangoose instead of attacking me, it attacks them back, they faint it, and I'm torn between bemusement and annoyance.
Two more things; what the fluff is with the morons who want to trade a Flabebe for a legend for a shiny?
And...if I offer to trade with someone, its to friend them ASAP for Friend Safari, and to give them a better chance to win LotoID. Also give Pokemiles. Not to actually trade. Why are they so greedy and want to only trade shinys or legends or super high level starters etc? They show me all these massive Pokemon and I'm like: Wat...just trade anything. Trade me a Bagon for my Bagon. Just TRADE SOMETHING, BEFRIEND ME, DAMMIT!
Should I put my code out there or sumthin'? 'Cause doing things the way the game is designed to do them is ridiculously difficult somehow.

Annoying reverse bragging

When someone is like, "I have to pre-order every game and console." They pretend like they think its stupid (which it is, it shows nothing more than lack of direction or preference) but really they hope you are impressed.
Not impressed.
This kind of person also is often that person who gets new games and consoles, then trades them in within a couple months, for something totally different. No real choices made, no true love for any type of console or game. Also it wastes a lot of money. Such waste.
