How many shinies do you have?

[pokok44]

So like, I've been playing for 1,500 hours (since April) I just discovered that I've made more than 400 gts trades. That kinda shocked me, I had no idea I'd made so many. It doesn't seem like I have enough shinies for someone who's made so many trades. Right now I have 18 shinies, and they're Mesprit, Bronzong, Milotic, Machamp, Golbat, Omastar, Gengar, Arcanine, Alakazam, Dragonite, Ninetales, Shiftry, Whimsicot, Banette, Ambipom and Steelix (all level 100), and a Vileplume and a Ponyta (level 60)

I was wondering, how long have you been playing, how many trades have you made, and how many shinies do you have?

PS the only one I'm the OT of is the ponyta

 

[Kazimoto]

One, a shiny Xatu. I've never traded for a shiny, I found mine as a Natu in the Ruins of Alph.

 

[PlatinumDude]

These are the shinies I have or have had (I lost HeartGold and Platinum):

Emerald: Koffing

Diamond: Geodude (deleted when I started a new game on it)

Platinum: Roselia, Sneasel, Marill, Blissey

HeartGold: Mewtwo

SoulSilver: Tentacool, Golbat

Black: Gothita

White: Sewaddle

Total shinies: 11

 

[Charicific]

haha! NONE :P
I started playing from Gen III Through V.Almost all games and no matter how much I go to grass and EV Train, I can't meet ONE SINGLE SHINY! I am so Out of luck! It teases me though how my friend managed to get 2 consecutive shinies in the same place and he just recklessly let them go :@

 

[cazzler]

I've found only a few shinies over the years...

Gold: Doduo
Ruby: Electrike
Diamond: Machop

I have about 4 - 5 shinies in Pokemon Black that I have through trades,
from the top of my head I have about 2 Eevee, Larvesta, Ninetales, I think I had another one...
I had Treeko and more I can't remember that I traded off.

 

[Legobricks]

None, not even the red Gyarados in G/S/C. Though many look better than in their normal colouration, they aren't of profound interest to me.

 

[mondays suck]

None. Every single one I ever had was eventually deleted. I have no regrets.
I estimate there were maybe 5 of them in total, and 5 more that I didn't catch.

 

[gvgisdi]

I've never had any other than Red Gyarados. :( I once saw a shiny Sentret in Crystal, but I didn't know what shinies are then so I got scared and ran away.

 

[Brendino]

Other than the Red Gyarados, I've only ever had one: a shiny Shroomish (now a Breloom) found on my Sapphire.

I've had some bad luck with shinies, though, including a Teddiursa I OHKO'd by accident on Gold, and on FireRed, I found a shiny Paras in the Safari Zone when I had one ball left (didn't catch it), and the guy that teaches you how to catch Pokemon in Viridian found a shiny Weedle :(

 

[Sweet Candace]

2. A shiny Bronzong (was a Bronzor) found in Pearl in Wayward Cave and a red Gyarados fishing outside the Battle Area in Platinum, but I lost my Platinum.

 

[jvpski3]

ALL 649!!!!!! Action Replay used.

 

[greg0915]

I have too many shinies to count because i have a trade thread XD

But i tend to find a fair few shinies, I found 3 shinies in one play through of Diamond:
Mr. Mime (Mild)
Graveller (Modest)
Sneasel (Modest)

My brother was Soft reseting for a Naive Chimchar on his Pearl when he discovered a shiny Starly at the first battle but you don't get any pokeballs at the start XD

 

[Tomandgreen]

None exept the Red Gyrados, which doesn't count. I should have though, since I have played so many games so many times.... But I did get PokeRus on Platinum! :)

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

9 that I currently own, two more that I owned at one time and traded to friends. I caught all but one of them on my own.

Meowth
Swinub
Spearow
Solosis
Mienfoo
Patrat
Herdier
Buneary
Gastly (traded)

And I used to own:
Muk
Ponyta

 

[CharmanderFan123]

I've owned about 5 in SS. No trades.

Charmander(now Charizard)
Pidgey(Now a Pidgeot)
Cyndaquil(Now Typlhosion)
Pichu(Now a Pikachu)
Togepi(now Togekiss)

I got the Pichu through breeding BTW

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

I have quite a lot of shinies even though I don't trade/collect them lol. XD;
... But I can't remember how many because I haven't played Pokemon for like... a few months?

 

[gvgisdi]

Cyndaquil(Now Typlhosion)

Did you get him as a starter? I've never seen someone with a shiny starter.

 

[Saerith]

I've played my current games for over 2,000 hours and have 5 shinies

Milotic
cyndaquil
ralts
eevee
flareon

still trying to catch myself a shiny shuckle though lol. I don't do action replay (googles what that is) I just mess about in the grass.

 

[644Klaww]

I've only ever caught 2 regularly, which are my shiny Teddiursa and shiny Fearow.

I got my Teddiursa on Pokemon Diamond, using the Pokeradar, and my Fearow was a random encounter in Heartgold, by the Safari Zone.

I also have the Red Gyarados, Pikachu-Coloured Pichu, and Shiny Suicune (Zoroark event one) but they don't count. :P

And I haven't spent that much time on the games. I've spent 150-160 hours in HG, and somewhere over 100 hours in Diamond.

I'm at about 90 hours right now in White, too.
