Well obviously you can't expect to see your first shiny in just one year.

How old are you, OP? You'll find your non-Gyarados shiny eventually or download it during some event.

This they pretty much just give them away now hell it's gotten easier to obtain them through hatching or chaining now then back then.

Shit you not. Caught 10 shiny mime jrs last week looking for a shiny roggenrola. You just have to be patient if you go shiny hunting. Do one of the Gen 6 methods. Fishing, hording, etc. Your bound to find one if you sit down and try one of these. Good luck.

Reminds me of the time I was searching for a shiny Yanma. Five fucking ugly-ass yellow Nosepass.

Don't worry, with GS VC coming out you'll be able to hatch 1/64 shinies easily, no hacking or cheating involved.
Shiny Dittos in GS spawn eggs that have a ridiculously high 1/64 chance of hatching a shiny, and you can get a shiny Ditto by owning both a gen 2 and a gen 1 game and using the time capsule to transfer Pokemon back and forth. You basically turn the shiny Red Gyarados into a shiny Ditto by abusing Mimic, it basically changes species but retains shininess.

Gen 2 3IV HA shinies out the wazoo soon.

A correction, you don't turn the gyarados into a ditto, you make a ditto copy him and then capture the ditto, which is shiny when transfered to GS.

Pretty neat.

The high rate is kind of offset by how horrendously tedious getting and hatching eggs is in gen 2 though.

>different-species breeding
>no oval charm
>no flame body
>slow bike
>longest continuous path past the day-care has tall grass and npcs that wander into your path
>day-care man isn't visible from the path so you have to move over when you get to the day-care to see if he has an egg

If they hadn't improved breeding routes in every subsequent generation I'd swear they fucked it up in gen 2 on purpose to make breeding harder.

Definitely not a year since you can get one every 10 minutes or so. Half an hour at the worst.

Gen 5 RNG is easy as fuck and you get exactly what you want out of it.

I've been playing since Crystal on the Game Boy, and I was able to catch my first shiny (a Magby) in SuMo. It was a bitch to get, but I got it in the end. You can catch one, I believe in you!

Shit, you are right. I just realized that most of my breeding in gen 2 was done in the Stadium 2 GB tower using the 3x speed option. No such thing in the 3ds version I presume.

I've been breeding for a Shiny Charmander in every game since January of 2002. I've hatched 3 Shiny Eevees, a Zubat, and a Growlithe while passing down egg moves but never a Charmander.

I've injected some since but after 15 years I want to hatch one on principle.
