I started with yellow and have owned 10 games (I would have like Gold and Silver and would pick one starter in one and one in another). I haven't seen one either OP.

The only time I use repels is when I'm farming gems in BW2. I also don't avoid grass and all of my games have hundreds of hours logged on them. Still no shiny.

Could be worse. I've found two shinies and caught both... on emulated games so I can never migrate them to a legit game.

Also even worse are all the cases of self-destructing/teleporting/accidently KO'd etc. shinies... or the ones you encounter before you can get Pokeballs.

On a brighter note, X&Y might have some shinies for you up their sleeves :3

The only time I've gotten a shiny is the free Gyarados, and I chained 4 shiny ponyta during my Diamond days. They were just the practice run for me learning to do it right, but afterwards I lost interest in the game so I never did it again.

I have a hacked shiny Darkrai someone traded me and I believe another hacked shiny lvl 100 Pacharisu (electric mouse shit from 4th gen) someone traded me as well because I wanted a scavenger at max level for good items.
