Well.

Shiny thread? Personally I hate most shiny Pokemon. They have such ugly colors. These are two of the great ones.

I actually agree with you on that, especially puke green Machoke and the rest of that evolution family.

The only shiny I think looks better than the original is Haxorus. That ugly-ass yellow kinda makes me think they accidentally swapped the shiny and normal sprites.

Some Pokemon have perfect normal and shiny versions. Like Celebi.

Caught it today when I was EV training mixed attacking Arcanine for E4. All I know now is that it has averange IVs with 31 in SDef and its hidden power is grass. That's my first shiny on cart.

Just the other night I turned on my Silver version and thought "I still have my master ball just in case I see a shiny", then the first encounter there in Mt. Silver was a shiny Donphan. My first shiny ever. I was excited.

I actually found two shinies way back in Gold. One was a shiny Machop (unfortunately I had no one to trade with for a Machamp) and the other was a shiny Mareep.

I've never found any shinies since then. I've been trying to breed a shiny Zorua for a while, but I'm not dedicated enough to constantly check the day care until I find one.

I haven't seen a legitimate shiny in a long time. I erased my diamond save probably four years ago, if not more.

Only legit shiny I've seen/caught is a Magikarp in HG while surfing around in Mt. Silver. Obviously I don't count the red Gyarados.

I feel for you man, I've had loads of shinies considering how rare they are, and none of mine are from chaining or Masuda method or whatever, just pure dumb luck.

The one I'm most proud of is my shiny Seviper for some dumb reason I wanted to play through Sapphire with Seviper as my starter Pokemon, so I made an egg on Emerald, and traded it over to Sapphire once I was able to trade after completing the tutorial shit.

The egg hatched, out comes that ugly bastard. I later found out that eggs change their secret ID and other data when traded, so if I hadn't traded it to another game, it would have hatched as a normal Seviper.

Fuck yeah obscure game mechanics!

I've played every generation when they came out, and I've only ever had 2 legit shinies. A wingull in emerald, I didn't catch it, and a Dwebble in White. I caught it, it was a staple in my team, then I lent it to a friend telling them they could start a new game without thinking.
It hurts /vp/.

Definitely best shiny I've seen.

Anyone else ever been unlucky enough to encounter two of the same shiny? I've found a shiny Pikachu<Raichu, Golbat<Crobat, and a Roselia, all on Gen III ROMs, none on-cartridge.

Then I played a Randomizer, was able to encounter literally any of the 386 Pokémon, and found another shiny Crobat. Well shit.
