I happened to breed a shiny Squirtle on Diamond while just trying to get a Squirtle with a good nature. Blastoise is my favorite Pokemon, so I was psyched.
On Silver, I've found two shinies on a new file that I created. The thing is, it happened after my Gold died, at which point I had decided that I didn't really care about obtaining anything else rare on the first two generation games. I was just training a couple of Pokemon to use to beat Pokemon Stadium 2, since I'd lost my old Gold team, and I found two shinies (Sneasel and Mareep) within a relatively short period of time.
I also discovered (when viewing it in Gold) that my Red Version Blastoise was actually shiny, which was pretty surprising, considering that I had no way of knowing when I started the file.
Overall, I seem to have much better luck when I'm not hoping for it. I've found several shinies on new files that I don't care that much about only a couple of hours into the game, yet most of my main files take over 200 hours before I encounter a shiny, and on many of them, I've never encountered a shiny at all.
