Odds for shiny in normal gen 3 are very low

In ultra Violet, the odds themselves are not higher, but if you walk through a ‘shinyizers’ spot as displayed on this guide here (i think there are 18 in total in the entire game) the next pokemon you interact with, be it wild, static, or trainer’s, will be shiny so if you unknowingly run through a spot (some are in the grass and some arent) you may think that the encounter rate is just higher, when really there’s just a way to make sure you get one. Hope this helps anyone in the future.

Japan lost approximately US$30 billion to anime and manga piracy

How are you sure that all people who have watched through piracy would have bought it? Maybe they would sell even less without the hype generated by piracy watchers talking about the show…
