So like, I've been playing for 1,500 hours (since April) I just discovered that I've made more than 400 gts trades. That kinda shocked me, I had no idea I'd made so many. It doesn't seem like I have enough shinies for someone who's made so many trades. Right now I have 18 shinies, and they're Mesprit, Bronzong, Milotic, Machamp, Golbat, Omastar, Gengar, Arcanine, Alakazam, Dragonite, Ninetales, Shiftry, Whimsicot, Banette, Ambipom and Steelix (all level 100), and a Vileplume and a Ponyta (level 60)

I was wondering, how long have you been playing, how many trades have you made, and how many shinies do you have?

PS the only one I'm the OT of is the ponyta

One, a shiny Xatu. I've never traded for a shiny, I found mine as a Natu in the Ruins of Alph.

I started playing from Gen III Through V.Almost all games and no matter how much I go to grass and EV Train, I can't meet ONE SINGLE SHINY! I am so Out of luck! It teases me though how my friend managed to get 2 consecutive shinies in the same place and he just recklessly let them go :@

I've found only a few shinies over the years...

Gold: Doduo
Ruby: Electrike
Diamond: Machop

I have about 4 - 5 shinies in Pokemon Black that I have through trades,
from the top of my head I have about 2 Eevee, Larvesta, Ninetales, I think I had another one...
I had Treeko and more I can't remember that I traded off.

None, not even the red Gyarados in G/S/C. Though many look better than in their normal colouration, they aren't of profound interest to me.

None. Every single one I ever had was eventually deleted. I have no regrets.
I estimate there were maybe 5 of them in total, and 5 more that I didn't catch.

I've never had any other than Red Gyarados. :( I once saw a shiny Sentret in Crystal, but I didn't know what shinies are then so I got scared and ran away.

Other than the Red Gyarados, I've only ever had one: a shiny Shroomish (now a Breloom) found on my Sapphire.

I've had some bad luck with shinies, though, including a Teddiursa I OHKO'd by accident on Gold, and on FireRed, I found a shiny Paras in the Safari Zone when I had one ball left (didn't catch it), and the guy that teaches you how to catch Pokemon in Viridian found a shiny Weedle :(

I have too many shinies to count because i have a trade thread XD

But i tend to find a fair few shinies, I found 3 shinies in one play through of Diamond:
Mr. Mime (Mild)
Graveller (Modest)
Sneasel (Modest)

My brother was Soft reseting for a Naive Chimchar on his Pearl when he discovered a shiny Starly at the first battle but you don't get any pokeballs at the start XD

None exept the Red Gyrados, which doesn't count. I should have though, since I have played so many games so many times.... But I did get PokeRus on Platinum! :)

I've only ever caught 2 regularly, which are my shiny Teddiursa and shiny Fearow.

I got my Teddiursa on Pokemon Diamond, using the Pokeradar, and my Fearow was a random encounter in Heartgold, by the Safari Zone.

I also have the Red Gyarados, Pikachu-Coloured Pichu, and Shiny Suicune (Zoroark event one) but they don't count. :P

And I haven't spent that much time on the games. I've spent 150-160 hours in HG, and somewhere over 100 hours in Diamond.

I'm at about 90 hours right now in White, too.

The first shiny I ever encountered myself was a month or two ago, in Sapphire when I replayed it, a shiny Whismur. Not really anything special, but it was my first shiny ever so I was extremely excited. A month later, I encountered my second shiny in White during EV training, which was a shiny Litwick! I happen to LOVE Chandelure, and shiny Chandelure as well, so I was thrilled. Other than those, I have a shiny Bagon, Charmander, Feebas, Mareep, and some others, but I got those from my cousin. And a shiny Mew, but I doubt it's legit lol.

Urgh ): I RNG shiny Pokemon, so it's a lot. Outside of RNG'ing I probably have about 5 random ones. Ekans from my first Firered, Jigglypuff from the same game. Foongus from my White along with Snover from my Diamond and a Magikarp on Soulsilver. Not the best bunch, but what the hell.
