I read a lot of fan fic and something I've noticed over the years is that the ratio of shiny pokemon to normal pokemon is definitely not 4000-1. And it doesn't follow any pattern where "new" users use it and older ones don't. @diamondpearl876 is a workshop champion and the head moderator of the forum and they use one.
I'm curious why, exactly, it keeps getting used so much? Is it to denote a pokemon's rarity, because in that case it's sort of failed when 1/10 important fan fic mons are shiny (ballpark)? Is it for aesthetics? I know @Emma Prescott and I use alt color schemes sometimes, albeit for different reasons.
So, um, if you use them maybe tell us why you felt it was important that mon was shiny. If you don't and have thoughts, feel free to give them. Attaching a poll so answers like "I don't use them" or "I use them, my main character in [link] is" are unnecessary without more expansion.
