MetalMario about cheating it is possible to create an exct copy of a pokemon and make it shiny, you can also make the pokemon shiny using cheats. Theres a pokemon creater program somewhere on the internet where you can make the pokemon exactly how you want. ive also seen a cheat that makes all pokemon you see shiny. it would be impossible forD and P to stop you uploading them.
I can honourablly say i will never cheat for a shiny pokemon
There is also a problem with Diamond and pearl.
Pokemon will be clonable. Say i have Diamond and Ruby:
If i want my pokemon off ruby on both, ill trade onto diamond then ill backup my save file with my action replay then trade back to ruby, then restore my diamond save file. It will also be possible when trading between dimaond and pearl for 4th generation pokemon
All this can already be done. It has nothing to do with Diamond/Pearl. I know it's completely possible to create a perfectly legit-seeming shiny in a cheat; what I'm saying is that most cheaters don't have the patience to do so. I, myself, have the knowledge and information to create a flawless "Pokémon generation tool," and I probably will for something unrelated (and has nothing to do with cheats). From what I've seen of the online, so-called "Pokémon calculators," they're pieces of crap. The one I saw forced shinies to have a specific Trainer ID, making them a dead giveaway. Another potential cheat giveaway would be Trainer Memo/version combinations. A level 6 Zigzagoon met on Route 101 is clearly illegitimate. I never said this would catch 100% of cheaters, but it will curb things by a lot. I'm also aware that there seems to be a "factory reset duplication glitch," which allows for duplication without the use of a cheat device at all.
An aside note: since when do Action Replays let you copy save files, anyway? You'd need a flash linker or XBOO link cable to do that.

my friend wanted me to ask have any of you caught the same shiny twice in one save file cuz he wants to catch another diglette but doesnt believe he can catch another one unless he starts a new file .
I caught two shiny Hoppips from the Techtonix (Memorial) Pillar on the same save in Fire Red. I'll tell you this once more:
THERE IS ZERO DEPENDENCY BETWEEN DIFFERENT WILD ENCOUNTERS! Once a wild battle has ended, the game has no memory of it whatsoever, beyond the Pokémon if you caught it. There's
NO "shiny counter" that counts down from 8192, there's no "shiny blacklist," preventing you from seeing the same shiny again, and there's no predesigned area where a shiny may be hanging out. If there
was a shiny counter, LDD would have seen a shiny in the Seviper patch by now, since she's had more than 8192 encounters there.
