I would like to join. I have a pretty nice collection, including a new addition I got today (not trying to brag when I say this, it actually makes me laugh) without it being my intention. XD
Well nothing to report as far as shinies go, but I did manage to get my hands of a Japanese ditto, I finally found one where they weren't asking for a lv 100 Giratina in return
I could never even consider giving my shinies away! You must be a very generous person. :) Do you have all of those shinies that you listed? If so, that's an awesome collection. Which other ones do you still have?
i would like to join because i LOVE shiny pokemon and trying to get every shiny pokemon in the whole series of pokemon so far i got like 15 shiny's and i found out about this club and i posted as fast as i can
Awesome, thanks. I've decided to add Gulpin to my target list and I will switch targets every 500 eggs or so (though it's hard breeding without using the MM) my search for Ponyta, Gulpin and a foreign Ditto continues...

Also, awesome points to TB for the referral! We seem to be doing much better with getting new members lately, which is awesome. Now we just need to work on retention...
Shinies are pure luck - sometimes, people go months without shinies! I had a drought that lasted over 70 days once. Don't worry about going a week without shinies; you might be really lucky and get one today! Just keep hunting and they will come. :)

Not much to report, hatched another hundred Gulpin eggs today. Now I am at 326 Gulpin Eggs and I got a good feeling about the eggs to come. Good luck to all of us on our respective shiny hunts

Oh I couldn't possibly list them all. D: My total obtained by me is Over 100 and altogether about twice that.
Though my latest was a ponyta. I wasn't even trying for her. I was trying to find a good morning sun daddy to IV with. My parents were a HG Rapidash and a Magic Bounce Espeon, both english, so I was at regular 1/8192 chances. And yet Egg #7 hatched into this little beauty right here. I honestly laughed at the luck.

:shocked: You hatched a 1/8192 ponyta on your 7th egg!? I've been trying to get a 1/2033 ponyta for ages now, though I put that on pause to pursue Gulpin and Unown. Well good job on the ponyta anyway and good luck to all of us on our respective shiny hunts. :D

Good luck on those two hunts!
And yes. 7th egg. It wasn't my intention to get a shiny but the game was all "lol here ya go!" And I just took it... You should never question when your game hands you a shiny. XD
Also, if you're looking in Gen 5, the masuda chances are now 1/1366 rather than the 1/2048 they were in gen 4. ._.
But I may do another shiny hunt soon... I just don't know what. ._. On my Japanese black I managed to Masuda a Litwick on April Fools day on egg 26. :o
Your so modest, but anyway thanks to school I haven't made any progress in any of my hunts, and homecoming is Saturday which eliminates well half my weekend. so this week's not looking good for hunting, which sucks cause I have a feeling a shiny is coming up and now I'm gonna have to wait for it. Anyway, good luck to all of us and our respective shiny hunts.
I have a moral question to you shiny hunters: Is it right to go through any means neccessary to obtain shinies? (excluding trading and cheating) Personally, I believe what makes shinies special is finding one completely randomly. Not through chaining or breeding. But that's just me. What are your opinions?
G-money I spend all day breeding them and th the 13 i kept are
Flareon
Vaporeon
Growlithe
Bellosom
Chansey
Vulpix
Ditto
Bulbasaur
Skitty
Seel
Ho-oh
Chikorita
Milotic
U_flame i wouldnt put breeding with chaining, I dont see anything unmoral about it either. what else are you supposed to do with the daycare but breed lol.
Do you have a list of all of your different hunts? You've got to be approaching a record by now, if you haven't already passed it. The best of luck to you, especially for Litwick!!

This is a pretty controversial topic, so I'll spoiler my response:
Spoiler:
The fun in finding a shiny, at least for me, is all about finally achieving an incredibly difficult goal; it's about reaching that elusive point for which you've searched so long. If I could get a shiny once a day, I wouldn't do it. Changing the odds to make it easier takes out the fun for me.
A large part of shiny hunting is also the nostalgia and sense of community - I remember reading this thread over 5 years ago and being amazed at the dedication people had to go out on this crazy quest of almost certain failure. I'm going to sound really old here, but when people hunted "back in the day," we didn't have any chaining or Masuda Method! I remember spending months and months looking for a shiny on Mt. Pyre, and after 5 days of spending 12+ hours per day, I finally got my shiny Shuppet! It was my first hunted shiny and I was ecstatic - a large part of that was the hard work and dedication I put in, and I was really proud of myself for sticking with it until I finally got a shiny. It was incredibly rewarding, and the only way I can feel the same way is if I know that I got a shiny in the "original" way, which for me was 1/8192.
That being said, I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with people getting shinies through other methods (chaining, MMing, trading, etc.), and those are all perfectly legitimate. I just love the thrill of looking for rare Pokemon in the way that I did it orignally, and that's what makes me happiest. If other people love chaining and are genuinely satisfied when they make it all the way up to a shiny patch and a 40+ chain, awesome!!! It's all about what makes you happy. Chaining isn't fulfilling for me since I'm used to getting shinies "the hard way" (although chaining takes more concentration and is actually much harder, "lol"), but if you enjoy chaining, DO IT!!! It's all about having fun, and whatever lets you be happiest when you finally get that shiny is the way to go! :)
I love your list!! There are so many awesome shinies on there that I like, especially Chansey, Ditto, Bulbasaur, Ho-oh, Chikorita (grr!), Seel... Heck, I like all of them!
