SHINY TREECKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was watching a dvd while soft resetting, and it had just come to a funny part so i wasn't paying any attention to the game, and i was just pressing b to move the battle along and i heard the shiny sound, i thought wtf? looked down and there it was, i sat staring at it for about five minutes, not quite believing it was there but it was, so i leered the poochyena until it ran away and then saved the game.
It only took 228 resets, i have never had a shiny come that fast, never mind a shiny starter.
I'll edit with pics when i've uploaded them.
