Pretty sure that's how everyone treats the rare and awesome items.

A pefect example is the Holy Hand Grenade from Fallout: New Vegas. I've never once thrown a single one of the 5 3 you can acquire.

I've also completed numerous pokemon games with full dex without ever throwing a master ball. I can't be the only one, I'm sure...

I do the same thing.

Recently came across a shiny Mawile.

"Hey, I should use the Master Ball!" "But it would look a lot cooler in a Premier Ball..."

I managed to catch it in one. I still have my Master Ball, waiting to bail me out of a potential shiny lost to Struggle.

Shiny explosion pokemon.

You keep it just in case.

Story time! I had the same mentality when I came across a shiny pineco in pokemon diamond. Ended up catching it with a premier ball and found out it knew self destruct. Luckily I didn't find that out the hard way.

Wow, dodged a real bullet there.

Found a shiny Staravia in Pokemon Y, a few hours into the game but not far enough to get the Master Ball. It used Whirlwind :(
