Well, you know, while the odds for getting a shiny in-game have improved significantly in Gen 6, they're still pretty low. As I recall, it's like 1/4000-something for finding one in the wild, and drops to like 1/600-something when you try exploiting the Masuda Method. There was an item called the Shiny Charm in Gen 5 (which you could get by completing the National Pokedex), but I think it only made it so that you were six times more likely to get a shiny either normally or via Masuda method and the odds weren't that good in Gen 5. I know I still haven't gotten a shiny in either Pokémon X or Y yet, but I haven't been trying to either (I just imported the few I got from other games into X via Pokémon Bank/Poke Transporter).
