I can't work out how to do the PokéRadar thing properly.. You know, to get shinies?
But! I've been very lucky in my game and encountered three without it.
I've got:
Girafarig
Shinx (now a Luxio)
Ponyta

Very lucky indeed. :]

I was chaining for a shiny budew a week or two ago, and the chain broke after about 20 pokemon, but the pokemon that broke it turned out to be a shiny bidoof. That's the only shiny I've ever randomly encountered. The rest of mine I've gotten by chaining.

[Tudj]

Well a few years ago in pokemon Firered, i was fishing in the safari zone for a dratini, and a shiny one appeared, and i caught it, but a few days after started a new game not knowing how rare it was :(. But now i have like 50 something shinies from luck, except the shiny hacked darkrai from my cuz

 

[Pirate Dave]

Shiny Nincada! Yay! My first Alt Colour since Emerald! :D

[Braeden23000]

I was playing platinum and found a shiny abra. I had 1 ultra ball i got from the lotto, and i used it, but it failed and the abra teleported away. I was really disappointed as it would be my second shiny ever, and the first one in the 4th gen.

 

[Destiny Bond]

[pokemonlover493]

My first ever shiny in pokemon platinum!
I started a new game yesterday. I played it today. So I'm in Eterna forest with Cheryl. I had just came in the forest. I ran into a shiny hoothoot. I was glad. I had gotten scared that I wasn't going to capture it. But I ended up getting it. It was a really tough capture to tell you the truth.

I forgot to say that my first shiny was a pidgey in pokemon crystal. I had also ran into a shiny tentacool twice in pokemon sapphire.

[Beloved]

Today I traded a Murkrow to someone in Japan, and in return, they sent me a shiny Gliscor! I asked for Gliscor, mostly for a Physical Wall, but I never expected to get a shiny out of the deal! Its a Lax nature, so I doubt it is hacked. Its level 11, the place where Gligar is found matches up, and the stats seem to be about right.

 

[Mages4ever]

I chained a Shiny Starly a while ago.
First chained shiny :D

 

[Dano_]

Somehow, the very first wild Magmar I encountered in Platinum was a shiny one. Still don't know how that happened. O.o
It also marks my first legit shiny since the red Gyarados in G/S/C. :3

[LucarioFreak!]

I have every single shiney including legendaries.
Thanks to action replay shiny code modifer.

Some shiny colors are awesome like raquaza's black and yellow color and some of them suck and don't have much of a difference as far as color contrast.
