There's been 6 days at the time of writing this petition after the Australian and Japanese release of Pokémon Go. Since then, even before a week passed, the game has went viral and millions of people have downloaded, supported and enjoyed it.

We know the game is yet to be updated, and that many things that people miss will be added in the near future: trading and battling with other people is the perfect example. Along with it many players have speculated the addition of more Pokémon from other generations, but there is one point that hasn't been answered yet.

Will there be shiny Pokémon?

As many people know, these kind of creatures are amazingly hard to find: until the 6th generation games, where the probability was doubled, they had a 1/8192 rate of encounter. It was up to the players' luck to find, and catch one of them, and doing so was and still is for us an amazing moment when we cross our eyes with a shiny's.

I am speaking personally when I say I have caught some shinies when playing the games, and the feeling when you find one and when you catch it is an amazing sensation that no other videogame has made me feel. I think anybody else who has caught a shiny will agree with me. It is for this reason that I would like to see the addition of shiny Pokémon in this already fantastic game, and it would be another great motive to catch'em all and soon, to trade'em all.

Thank you very much for the game and for your attention,

The Pokémon Go community
