Not that long ago I found a shiny Aipom in Emerald's safari zone, it ran away from me. But Aipom sucks, so I didn't care.

Yes. The first shiny I ever saw was a Shroomish in Ruby. My dumbass kid self didn’t have any Poke Balls, so I couldn’t do anything about it. Shit sucked.

Yep, Gen II a shiny sandshrew bust out of all the pokéballs I had to hand (first run through Union) and I had to KO it to get away as it wouldn't let me run and in White I knocked out a solosis that popped up unexpectedly trying to whittle down its health.

It doesn't matter because when you grow up and start playing PS! or whatever, you realize eventually shinies always had terrible IVs and objectively weren't worth playing with.

A year ago playing Crystal on VC my union cave Friday Lapras was shiny. I wasn't watching the screen when the battle started, only saw that the Lapras wasn't the gender I wanted when I glanced at the screen (cause I autistically needed it to have a certain nickname). I reset, then realized the previous Lapras was shiny. I was pretty pissed at myself.

I didn't really get into pokemon too much so this was my first shiny other than red gyrados. I didn't catch it because i hate this piece of shit and was not going to catch one just because it was glittering, killed it and got like 200 something exp iirc. Later i caught a shiny zigzagoon because that was actually worth catching.

I missed the uncatchable shiny Zigzagoon from Emerald.
However I found out its a early shiny frame and learned how to RNG. I used that Zigzagoon's frame to get a shiny Metagross

In Emerald I found a shiny Spinda, but the only way I could lower its health without immediately killing it was with poison.

I learned to always carry a False Swiper from then on.

I lost a Rattata in Shiny Gold because it was the first wild Pokémon I encountered. I cheated balls into the inventory to catch it, but I still count it as a loss because I shouldn't have been able to do that. I also lost a shiny Ralts to Wally once in I think it was Sapphire. There was another example where I caught one and then lost it, and that was a Tentacool in Gen 2 after I had learned that VBA could do Gameshark codes, so I was playing with the walk through walls and shiny codes etc. I ran into a shiny Tentacool and realized the code wasn't turned on, meaning it was an actual shiny Tentacool. I caught it, then made the mistake of not immediately saving, losing it when I walked outside the map and the game crashed to "unkown opcode". I caught another shiny Tentacool in the same place on a real Silver cartridge later on.

Twice in FireRed, different walkthroughs.
•Once in safari zone, a Cool-looking Seaking appeared and I spend almost 15 balls trying to catch that motherfucker. At the last shaking of one of the balls, just when I was sure I got it, he pops out and flees. I was mad all day after that I was like 14.
•Second one was a stupid Abra in Cerulean Bridge. Tried using a Great Ball right away but the son of bitch pops out and teleports. Not even mad because I'm really Lucky with shinies in that cartridge and almost every time I start a new file I got one or two shinies.

No. If you were trying to SR for a shiny starter (this will never work on emerald by the way) that just means you have a shiny frame early on.

>frame 1800 is a shiny frame
>that's 30 seconds in
>if you can get an encounter on exactly frame 1800, which starts from frame 1 the second you hit Start+Select+A+B, you get a shiny
>frame 1800 is also a Timid nature
>if you have a timid Synch lead, the frames have a 50/50 shot of autoadvancing to the next available Timid nature
>this means depending on how natures are laid out in the frames, you could have over half a second of time to hit the encounter in

tl;dr rng doesn't exist in emerald

I didn't know what a Shiny was at the time, so I just assumed it was a glitch. Had a Shiny Exploud and reset the game without knowing/trading it.

I also came across a shiny Hariyama but it used whirlwind as soon as the battle started.

The only shiny I've legitimately caught since then was a Bidoof

I hatched over 500 eggs for a shiny Pawniard but nothing ever came from it. Wonder Trade had a ton of Pawniards in it that weekend though.
