    I was wondering out of curiosity... how many people here would say they collect shinies on a serious level, compared with those who don't, in Diamond and Pearl? I'm just curious...
     
    I sometimes hunt for shinies, but its so hard to get them. lol I only seen 2 shinies in my Pearl using the poke'radar so far.
     
    Hmm.. i'm a casual shiny collecter, sometimes i go on a massive rampage looking for shinies, but it kinda dies away after a few minutes, lol.
     
    I'm a HUGE fan of shinies. (As you'd see from my trade thread :P.)

    I always look for them with Pokeradar, but dislike soft resetting, so I don't do it. I trade for those instead. :P
     
    When my wifi decides to work, im a hardcore collector over wifi. I will complete the dex in shiny, 120/7000 done :P
    I cant be bothered to catch them myself though, too much effort. I spend most of my time EVing and dont have time to attempt chaining.
     
    A shiny every so often is nice indeed, but I do not go out of my way, such as codes, to get them. I'm perfectly fine with the normal look of any pokemon.
     
    i have gotten all of the normal pokes that can be obtain at this point so i look into getting shinies. that is the only reason i have like 60+ shinies.
     
    iim very determined. so far, i have around 70, around 10-15 were caught myself from chaining, or random encounter.
     
    Shiny pokemon have little importance to me. If I do happen to find a shiny pokemon, that's nice. If I don't, I'm perfectly fine. I'm more focused on IVs and natures and would be much happier if I found a Pokemon with a good IV spread / Nature than a shiny. But if I do get a shiny pokemon with perfect IVs and a great nature, then that's fantastic. 8D
     
    I have a Shiny Riolu... Though nothing seems to be different when compared to normal ones...

    I guess I'm not much of a collector because they are really really really rare...
     
    Im A causual collecter but im slowly buliding up i got a lot better at chaning and im trying to get every pokemon shiny right now i got 12 but I might try to become a supper shiney collecter but right now im more causual
     
    Also to add to my 999 hours of gameplay do to shiny hunting I got over 200. Its draining batteries out of my DS so badly I am afraid of the electric bill
     
    There are very few shinies I like, and they're only good GTS bait to me, so i don't really care. =P

    Having a shiny pokémon with good IVs is really nice, but I'd much rather breed a pokémon with a lot of stats in 29-31 than have a shiny with okay IVs/nature.
     
    I collect shinies when I check the Pokedex and say "OMG I love this Poke". That's when I start looking for them, I think people focus too much on shinies and should just do it as a fun thing ^^
     
    i've seen one shiny (and i ran from it) and i hatched one. the rest of my shinys are trades
