Just curious. I have quite a few... Just wondering if it is normal.

I am a shiny collector. I have about ~50 legit shiny Pokemon.

Zero.

I used to have a Shiny Zubat.

used to have a shiny Shroomish in Diamond from the Great Swamp.

"used too"

*cries*

Just one - Red Gyrados! Never had the chance to encounter one, even though I've played Gold, Silver, Ruby, FireRed, Pearl and Soul Silver.

none xD I only encountered a shiny noctowl once :P but i had no pokeballs left :P
But thats how i found out they were real :P

just one, a random shiny starly.
I WILL be the owner of a shiny dragonite one day though

I have one that I caught myself - a shiny Zigzagoon I got while I was EVing in Sapphire. Suffice to say, I'm never taking it out of my team, ever. It's actually awesome to have a shiny I can use as a HM slave. Plus it picks up rare candies (I have 17 in my bag, all legit that shiny Ziggy picked up).

I got a shiny Metagross and a shiny Surskit off the D/P online trading thing, but I don't know how legit they are. Still cool, though.

I catched appr. 100 via Shiny Chaining in my Diamond Version. (Can't find my list with the exact number.)
I met 4 by coincidence in the wild. (Machollo, Staralilli, Bidiza, Corasonn - german names)
I also traded some Shiny-Legis, but I doubt that they are legit.

In the Pokemon Rumble Wiiware game I also got 3 Shinys. (Sheinux, Schlurpleck, Lecktroball - german names)

In the pre Diamond games I only had the red Garados ... I am really gratefull, that Nintendo included Shiny Chaining in the new Pokemon games.

A shiny Tentacruel and obviously I will capture the Gyrados when i get SS
