Oh something like that happened to me in Gold. I found a shiny Rattata and hadn't got PokeBalls yet. :(

I remember the first time I played Gold, I spent every pokeball I had to catch the Red Gyarados before knowing it was always shiny ...

I've bred quite a few Pokemon, mostly just multiples of my six main Pokemon (to compare stats and such), but also for some trade requests back in the days when I still could get on wi-fi...

Haven't done any in over a year, though.

Right before I lost interest in White I was breeding for a Mienfoo with good IVs for competitive. Unfortunately I only managed to breed 3 good stats onto each parent and was having trouble combining them...so I gave up lol.

I once found shinies. One of the most awkward moments was when I was EV training I believe was a Mareep back in Pearl and found a shiny Bidoof. I had to look twice to make sure it was shiny, since I saw sparkles, and they're hard to tell apart. I didn't know whether to run away or catch it, so I caught it. I don't know what happened to it after that though. :P

I want shiny Mareep pretty bad. So cute ;o;

But yeah if I was still into Pokemon as a game I would have no interest, but right now that's the only thing keeping me turning on my White version, breeding for shinies. :x

Just as much as any other part of the game controls a gamer :o There's nothing wrong with working hard towards a shiny, it's an accomplishment that you can show to other people and tell them about the odds and how hard you worked for it. I don't see shiny-searching as any different from IV breeding or EV training or Pokedex Completion, lol.

I don't really like the other ones you listed either
I just think that shiny-hunting is by far the most chosen one.
It's kinda unsettling

Probably because it's less thought than the others, more just tedium.

I like it because I don't like to just focus on one thing at once, so I can breed Lapras while I'm on my computer and doing other things, lol. What's so unsettling about it?

If you think from a biological point of view in the game,you're gerating a massive disturbance on the food chain and the balance of nature ...

Tbh that's one of my favorite parts :3 I like imaging hundreds of baby Lapras in the ocean, confusing the swimmers and just in general being cute because Lapras are awesome. But that doesn't make you equally uncomfortable with IV breeding? xD

Well,think about mass-breeding Yamasks that are born form the souls of dead humans?
Also,if there were an over population of Lapras, there would be lack of food Lapras eat,and others eat too,creating an domino effect,that could cause in the end.

Perhaps,I'm passioante about the things I love,
but what I dislike the most about shinnies,is that some people over price them due to their shininess
