My only shiny so far was in Ruby, and it was a shiny Gulpin.

Yeah.

5 and a half hours straight - most addictive game of the year so far. Haven't found a shiny yet.

So far, I have Frogadier, Litleo and Hawlucha as main stays in my team. I am only going to select new pokemon.

I've played the mainline games for roughly 1400 hours, and I've never encountered a shiny pokeman :( I have however gotten plenty over the global link, but the feeling ain't the same. Not to mention that most of them probably were action replay stuff.

If I could have a shiny Charizard...*faints*

nvm

I've found like 3 shinys. Two were Spinda (didn't want him) and Skarmory (that was like 9 years ago, I don't remember what happened to him) in ruby both. The other was a Pichu in Platinum through the pokemon radar (best way to find shinys). I remember I was looking for a shiny Larvitar and I had a streak of over 50 (I probably played over 10 hours just for that), my heart was going to stop at any second until... A FUCKING PONYTA BROKE MY STREAK! Since then, I gave up on shinys.

The only shiny I ever had was the shiny ground hypo, right now cannot remember his name.

I had a shiny Spinda too... And right now I have a shiny Raichu! =) The only other shiny Pokemon that I found was there in the cave before the league in Black 2, I was walking and then something GOLDEN wanted to battle me, it was beautiful, it was a Golden Graveler, I was scared it exploded and what I did? I threw an Ultra Ball, he broke free and then, everything turned red, my eyes couldn't believe it.... It EXPLODED!!! I just cried for 2 days.... =P

Oh god... That's just horrible.

I've encountered 5 wild shinies over the 15 years I've played pokemon.

I have all the other ingame shinies you can get.

I trade away my shiny rayquaza and charmander for something... I dont remember what lol.
