I have a shiny Crobat on my Emerald
Me toooo! I was trying to do the solo run when I abandoned my starter with the shiny zubat when I finished training it, and it's now a crobat because I raised it, like all my other pkmn, with tlc. I'm planning to transfer it to my Platinum, then to my Black, then to White 2.

Mine is still on my Emerald version that I have laying around. I could never restart the game or trade it out (because I love my Emerald version) so it's still there. I named mine Aria and almost always name all my others the same name (which sounds bad but I loooove my crobat :) )

In Emerald, I always tend to stay in the grasses of Routes 119, 120, and 121, as those are my favorite routes. (Because it rains there!) Out of the many times I've played, I've encountered a shiny Tropius and a shiny Absol. I guess it's because I spent so much time looking for those two Pokémon... It was all in the same playthough also! Both of those Pokémon are currently in White 2. :3

shinies

My first shiny(s) was near fallarbor in emerald. 2 shiny slugma's back to back. So excited to have a shiny, and two at that! A few weeks later I found a shiny zigzagoon. Then I beat the E4 and my game data decided to corrupt itself. sigh .

I have never found a single shiny in ANY pokemon game. The only shiny I have isnt in RSE its in crystal. And its a shiny pichu that I hatched sometime at the end of last school year. My brother has 1 shiny hariyama that I traded to my ruby version to keep it safe since he was playing my emerald. I have it in the corner of a box, waiting for my brother to let me migrate it to one of his games.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Third Generation hated me I guess. I had never found a Shiny in this generation despite how much I had played my Ruby. My sister on the other hand didn't play her Ruby for long and caught a Shiny Zubat. Lucky her.

Yeah, I must admit that I never saw a shiny in Third Generation...

Really, the old random wild shinies I ever found randomly and caught were on my Ruby. (One of them at least lol, I have 3). Shiny Numel and Shiny Skitty.

Not too long ago I replayed through ruby and found 2 shinies by the elite four, and I believe my only one I ever stumbled upon myself. Granted they were of the two most common Pokemon to exist ever: Magikarp, and Zubat.
And stupidly I evolved the Magikarp (because I mean who doesn't have a red Gyarados)

I found two Shiny Pokemon while playing.

One was a Lotad in Sapphire, but I ran from it.

The other was my first ever Shiny caught, a Duskull in Ruby.

I've never found a shiny in RSE and this makes me sad :( To be honest I never really played them long enough to find one though. I think I've only ever played through the Hoenn region twice, both times on Sapphire, and then got bored of it and moved on to Sinnoh? I just never found the Hoenn region that interesting so I never really explored it enough to find a shiny haha. There are some very cool shiny Pokémon in the third generation though so I'd love to encounter one if I play again!

Abra, Spinda, Oddish, Poochyena, Swablu, and Golbat in RSE

Even though it's not RSE, I found Rattata, Venonat, and I feel like I'm forgetting another one in FireRed.
