Yeah, woulda helped a heck of a lot it wasn't on an emulator and that I don't have an R4 or AR or something to transfer it to my Platinum.

I know what you mean. I also had a post.

I have since started a new game, so it doesn't matter, but still.

First shiny was a grimer in pokemon mansion but i didnt know whwt a shiny was so i killed it.
Second shiny was a poochyena, on an emulator.
Third shiny was in the safari zone, it was a dodu.
Fourth shiny was a geo dude in Mt. Moon.
And last shiny was last week. In Granite cave on my Emerald. It was a Makuhita!
I seem to have some luck with shinies. Hope you all luck on you shiny adventures!

That has happened to me before, where I encountered a shiny and either didn't have any Pokéballs with me at the time or I didn't have enough to capture it. Since then, I've learned to stock up on these needed items because with HeartGold and SoulSilver you can only find a shiny by luck and chance (except for the encountered Red Gyarados). Therefore, you'll need to be ready if you get a lucky feeling.

I just caught a green golbat in Soul Silver.. and I never expected it to have his shiny color when following you. Also.. everything about this golbat is awesome, 28 attack iv, 23 hp iv, good defences. I was planning on getting a crobat anyway and now it'll be pink

Well, after eleven years of playing Pokémon, managing to get the Pokérus whenever possible and STILL never find a shiny, I encountered my first today.
It's a Machop. And thank goodness it's male. Female Machokes/Machamps creep me the hell out.

And I had one great ball on me. Level 14, and my entire team was at Level 24.
But I got him! I named him Karate-san, for the cheesy.

From playing R/B/Y, Gold and Crystal, R/S/E, and Diamond and Platinum, I had never caught a shiny besides the Red Gyarados until about 2-3 weeks ago. I was able to chain a shiny Ponyta with some pretty nice IVs that I don't know off the top of my head... DX So, my first shiny besides the Gyarados (and a traded Shokotan Pichu) was a Ponyta.

I'll gladly battle, either on PBR or Platinum. Just PM me if you'd like to battle. (I may be painfully easy, though, as I don't have an EV'd team yet. They're a work in progress.)

I haven't ever even seen a shiny excluding the first wild Pokemon I ever saw which was a gold lv. 3 Pidgey I had no clue it was different because I just found pokemon yellow liying on the ground near the sidewalk and borrowd my brothers old Gameboy colour. :(

I'm waiting for the American release for HG/SS. But in the original second generation, I've caught a shiny Tangela. After hundreds of hours in every Pokemon game, I've finally caught my first (and only) true shiny with no increased chances whatsoever! I'm so happy!
