Outside of one or two they really hold no value to me, yet people shit their pants over "muh palette swap".

Plenty of them look cool, except for the purple or pink ones. They just aren't colors I'm too fond of.

Game Boy-colored Mimikyu is the best one yet, IMO. I'm desperately trying to find one.

I don't care for them and I find the idea of spending hours breeding to get them kinda pointless for me. Then again, the first Shiny I ever found kinda soured my mood.

No, most are hideous. I inject and rarely ever decide to use shinies. Only in rare cases like reunicles, whose shiny is better then the base, do I make pokemon shiny. I think too many are made without consideration of the pokemon's design and if the color scheme works.

They look nice, but you never see them in-game. I don't think I saw a single shiny in generation three, despite multiple hundreds of hours of playtime.
I saw one in generation four because of the item that gave you higher chances of seeing them.

The glitter animation is needed for wild shinies that are literally just a shade brighter/darker like garchomp and many water types that are a different shade of blue

To an extent I do. Conceptually, I really like certain shinies adding great alternate colors.
Realistically, I've only ever found like 3 across my entire pokecareer (Jinx in Crystal, Ducklett in Y, and recently a Spearow in Sun).
I do take as a sign that the RNG gods want me to train said pokemon. But nowadays its just to easy for the nature not to be good, or in most of my cases hindering to what should be its better stats.

This. There are some that aren't like >>31497941 says but the vast majority are outright worse. They all seem to be green, purple, or pink. And not even good hues of those colors, but like neon puke.

I would like shinies a lot more if the colors they picked for some of them didn't seem totally arbitrary.

Stuff like Charizard, Metagross, or Bruxish you can tell they actually had a cool alternate color scheme they wanted to use, but some of them it's like they just picked colors at random or just used some paint program to shift the colors over a bit without caring how it makes the overall design look.

I imagine they went with green since that's associated with Dragons a lot, but God only knows why they chose that awful teal for the belly to go with it.

Though really, they should've just made Shiny Zard X have normal Charizard colors to complete the whole mirror image thing.

Would've been interesting if they made the Black parts of shiny Luxray become White IMO, but its definitely one of the better ones, yeah.

I quite like Tangela/Tangrowth personally. I guess I like "natural" looking shinies.

Can find it pretty quick on google, looks pretty great IMO, but I'm not a fan of how Zard X looks in-game regardless because of how it awkwardly floats around.

Akshually, they didn't start deliberately picking shiny colors until gen 6. In the games prior, they simply used the next colors in the color palette.

I like them, and I think it's more about the effort and time you put in than anything.

that said, there are good and bad shinies, and sadly, I doubt the bad ones will ever get fixed.

also, how come they've been doing shinies manually since gen VI, but the overall shiny quality hasn't gotten better?

I disagree
This is the first gen I which I see Shinies that look better than the normal design.
For example, Shiny Minior, Salazzle and Bruxish.

IMO green-based shinies are at best equal to the original and almost always worse in terms of colors, though.
