Me neither. The vast majority of them are uglier than their normal counterparts.

They are differently colored.

That's it.

Some people like that.

Some people don't.

They're different and people want to be unique and/or people like collecting shiny things.

That's about it.

I understand the cool part of finding one, but breeding for one just seems dumb, you made it happen, it's not special.

No, "making it happen" would be rng abusing and pokegen.

I think half of it is the feeling you get when you run into one. Caught a shiny Drowzee looking for a ditto. I was in a call with my friends on skype and when I first saw the different colors, I had to rub my eyes. Then I just remember screaming HOLY SHIT HOLY HIT ITS A SHINY DROWZEE HOLY SHIT

It's because of the rarity, you have a 1 in over 8,000 chance of finding one

Shiny charm+Masuda Method is putting the RNG in your favor. RNG abusing is exploiting a weakness in RNG.In the end they both get the same result.

I have encountered 2 shitty shinies in my whole pokemon lifespan.Now just RNG abuse them and feel no difference between random encountered ones and RNG abused ones.

No, both were intended.One just worked harder for the same result.They may not hold the same value, but with without knowing if it was RNGd or not they hold the same value.As ignorance is bliss.

On the contrary most look like complete shit in my opinion.
Tons of them are purple for no obvious reason and most of the others are just slight palette shifts.

Because it's very rare to find one and you just feel special if you get one. Many people go years without finding one.

Believe it or not, OP, some people aren't super serious over a video game and actually play the games for fun and to enjoy themselves.

Crazy, I know.

Got a shiny Geodude in Leafgreen and a Shiny Cascoon in Ruby. Both of them were pure luck. In Black2 im using the masuda method for a shiny charmander.
