Well, after 5 generations and 12 Shiny Charm/Masuda Method Eggs, I finally got my first shiny.
Question: How many shinnies have you guys gotten over the years?

OP here, so do you guys only count them if they were random? Cause I feel that me getting lucky and getting a shiny might not be as rare as some of the ones that other people encounter out in the wild at random.

I got 2 shinies in my White Nuzlocke.
Snivy died to Cheren in the 2nd battle of the game, so I reset. Pidove was in Pinwheel Forest after I already caught a Tympole. I caught it for the hell of it, and immediately released it.

Well, it's obviously not as rare, but it's not like it's common or anything. Plus, you had to work to get the shiny charm.

Isn't there a clause that if there is a shiny pokemon you can keep it in the PC or something?

Last night I found a shiny Lickitung - at the Safari Zone in Soul Silver. It ran before I could catch it.

There is bullshit, then there are levels of bullshit that go beyond mere bullshit, and then there's finding a god damn shiny in the motherfucking Safari Zone. I am beyond mad right now.

I caught a shiny Kadabra once, don't have it anymore though as I forgot to transfer it to another game when reseting the game.

I'm not sure if there is a best way in Emerald, but I'd guess breeding. If you try to find one in the wild then you risk finding a different pokemon.

I know most would probably disagree, but I'd count breeding and chaining, if only for the patience and time needed to get one. I wouldn't consider them as special as a wild one, but it's still impressive.

-Stantler, Safari Zone encounter (ran away)
Gen 4:
-Regigigas, first legit shiny caught

I've never seen anyone exclude the Shiny Clause, unless they were in "SUPER HARDCORE LELEDGY STOP GAMING THE SYSTEM" mode.
