I caught a shiny blue Gulpin on... Route 110, I think. This was the only shiny Pokemon I ever caught in an advance generation game. I had the misfortune to run into a shiny Poochyena on Route 103, and was unable to catch it because I had not yet received my first five Poke Balls. I also ran into a shiny Xatu in the Safari Zone in Emerald, but it ran away before I could catch it.
I only ever have seen/caught 1 or 2 Pokemon in the Advance Generation that were Shiny. Spinda and I swear I saw a Shiny something in the Battle Tower... Spinda was one of the few shinies I found before I actually completed the game, which in my opinion feels more worth it... so I usually just walk around and hope I find one because... I don't know maybe it was GSC that made me feel that way about shinies... They're fun to have around since they're so rare... Diamond and Pearl made up for my lack of shinies and the number of them I've lost. XD.
I've seen 4 shiny pokémon, but've only caught two of the four I've seen.
Shiny Poochyena (now a Shiny Mightyena)
Shiny Voltorb (missed)
Shiny Zubat (missed)
and a Shiny Rayquaza
i saw a jynx in silver about 5 years back but didnt get to catch it but i introduced my friend to pokemon half a year ago and hes caught a green golbat and a reddish linoone
I saw a shiny Golbat in June/July 2005 when I was rushing through Victory Road with a Lv. 100 Charizard on Sapphire so I could transfer Jirachi from Channel, I walked away for 5 minutes and came back to find that green bat glaring at me. I did manage to catch it but I never touched it as I didn't know whether I wanted a Golbat or a Crobat. I decided to give cloning a try just a month ago and now I can have both. ^.^
I got a shiny zubat (now crobat) but I didnt even see it shine. I was looking at something else and when I looked at my game, I was going to run but I realized that it was shiny. I also found a shiny rhyhorn (now rhyperior on Pearl) in the safari zone (the worst place to find one) and a sharpedo while training a breloom (although I was an idiot to attack it.)
I havent caught many shinies, but on gold I recieved a shiny eevee from bill... I took lots of care insuring it evolved into umbreon. On pearl I also got the riolu egg from riley and when it hatched riolu was yellow, another shiny. Now both are level 100 and fully evolved on pearl.
Heh, well that was lucky. Hunting down scyther on fire red in safari zone and a shiny chansey just popped up. Lemme try and catch it... I'll let you know how it went soon.
