Are Shiny Pokemon THAT important?

[*Chikorita*]

The only shiny I've ever got, other than the red gyrados, is a shiny golbat in my Crystal. I have Ruby and LG, but no shinies. I just want them to be able to brage ^_~

Me too Pokejungle. ^__~ Besides bragging rights, I don't really care for shiny Pokemon, unless they are alot better looking in shiny form. XD But even still, I'm not about to go out searching for one.

I know! There's not even a gurantee that you'll find one >>;

Some pokemon do look REALLY cool as shinies, but...some really DON'T! XD
