Same as me, but I've actually seen two shinies but failed to catch either one of them.

Found a shiny Girafarig on route 43 in Silver. Wasn't exactly prepared and critted it.

The second time was in Soul Silver. I found a shiny Geodude in the fucking Safari zone. I was not able to catch it.

I was the same as you. Been playing since '98. Ran into my first Shiny in X though in Friend Safari.

Maybe you should fuck around in Friend Safari, anon. They pop up all the fucking time there.

It's a lot easier finding shiny Pokemon in newer gens, thanks to the Masuda Method, Shiny Charm, and Friend Safari/Radar/Dexnav/Adrenaline Orb. You have more of a chance to find one if you don't use Repels either, I found many shinies by just playing through the game normally.

Same. My first legit non lake of rage gyarados shiny was a friend safari Audino.

Shortly after that I hatched a shiny Charmander after like 3 eggs.

And then I've gotten a shitton of shinies thanks to hordes.

It's like I broke a curse when I got my first one

Eh, I wouldn't care that much. I started at sapphire and got my first in diamond. Of course it was a shitmon, fearow, but at the time I had no idea what the fuck it was so it felt real memorable to me.

Honestly I feel 90% of shinies look like complete fucking shit. They just take a mish mash of random colors and slap it without considering if the colors mesh well or how they look on the pokemon. Yeah there are some really cool ones, I love golurk's and reunicles's a lot, but most are just ugly as shit and used by people to gloat.

Have you tried using any of the shiny hunting methods?

Even then, my first ever shiny encounter was a tentacool in Crystal. I found it while surfing next to New Bark Town. Stupid 10 year old me thought it was a glitch and immediately shut my game off cause I didn't wanna corrupt my save file. Years later I found out that I had made the dumbest mistake of my life that day.

My first every shiny CATCH was a wild Watchog in W2. I think it's still sitting in my box in that game.

Nigga what?
Why would you doubt he's played that much?

I have 900 hours just on X alone. If I added up all my Pokemon playtime across the years it'd probably be like 3000 hours.

literally fucking lying

lemme tell ya a story kid. First shiny I ever saw was a lvl 6 Sandsherew in the Union cave back in god knows how long ago. I had precisely one great ball and I had no idea what the fuck was that grey weird Sandsherew. Was it a bug? How could I know? But I wanted it. And I obviously didnt get it. I kept looking for weeks, months, in the same place because my child's brain could not let go. Then There was the red Gyarados and after many years I would learn about Shinies properly. I never had any other goddamn Shiny since.

Gen 6 makes it unbelievably easy. I caught 6 shiny Gulpins looking for a shiny Scraggy. I caught 2 shiny Dittos just training on a really good friend safari with Audinos.

4 shiny shinxes in Gen IV from chaining (no good natures), one random shiny sandshrew in B2, a couple random shinies from Friend Safaris in XY, no chained DexNav shinies, an accidentally chained (~12 in) shiny Zubat while lazily EV training last night in Moon

You need to try harder, OP.

From what I have read, chaining calls for help from mon in gen 7 should break that run, with any luck. Get yourself a decent false swiper and prepare for a wait in one fight.

Same, Gen 4 was the high point of Pokemon for me. I had lots of friends who played then, and we'd have Battle Revolution set up for people who wanted to battle while others traded and EV-trained or helped eachother get what they wanted off the GTS.

I also got all my friends to fill up the Pokemon Ranch to get Mew. Good times, glad to hear someone else has fun memories of Platinum.

Sure, I've gotten plenty of others since then, but I'm never getting that Onix or Raichu back, and it hurts.

Ever since I made my living Pokedex during the DPPT era, I've encountered shiny Pokemon on a more regular basis. EV training would always seem to net me at least one when I had the charm. I even caught a few in ORAS without even noticing.

My only wild Shiny was in Silver. It was one of the Voltorbs that pretends to be an item until you try to pick it up. It was the first one I'd encountered in that gen. I thought the different colors and sparkle was to indicate that it was a different because it was pretending to be an item. Didn't catch it.

I've hatched a few shinies, though
