Come join the group with me! I have not caught any shinys at all! =[Never ever seen a shinny pokemon in any of my games (except the plotline Red Gyrodos). Ever. I do however have a (from trade) Shinny Mew that was obtained in a Nintendo event. ^_^
Very true. That shiny can simply be worth a legendary pokemon because of it's rarity.Shinies seem to be a lot more common in Pokemon Diamond, at least for me. I think of all these years of playing pokemon I had only seen a single shiny in Emerald(can't remember which one it was, it could have been a shiny ratta in Leaf Green).
However, in one week of playing on Diamond with a little over 20 hours logged, I've already seen 2 shinies. First one was a Combee, second was a Wurmple. Not great pokemon by any means, but shinies nonetheless.
