    How frequently do you see Shiny Pokemon in HGSS? Do you catch them straight away or do you catch certian shinies? At the moment, none for me :(, but im not giving up.

    according to Serebii.net, the odds of seeing a shiny Pokemon in the wild is a 1/8000 chance. Every Pokemon has a shiny version. They're just really, really rare varieties of all the available Pokemon.

    I myself have never ever seen one, and I've been playing the games for sixteen years, but my friend is a few years younger than me has a lot of shinys. I think it just depends on how frequently you play the game.
     
    Shinies are wierd. Generally, I have found one shiny or more per game, since i play them a lot, but i haven't caught all of them. I try, but sometimes i dont make it. Either i have no pokeballs, or they run away :(
     
    I've encountered one shiny in the wild out of 12 years of playing. It was a Patrat.
     
    yeah, what everyone else said. they're just really, really, really rare Pokemon with color variations. XD

    Technically speaking, the red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage is a shiny Pokemon, but I personally dont count that as a rarity since it is there every time you play the game--it is built into the storyline.
     
    Next to never. I started playing back in the Pokemon Red days, and I've only seen 7 shinies ever.

    Caught 3 of them. =(
     
    In SoulSilver I encountered two random shinies! ^^ Shiny Magnemite and Shiny Teddiursa and later I decided to hunt on Delibird and got it shiny too.
     
    I haven't encountered a shiny in hg/ss yet but, I have gotten a shiny Totodile as my starter. I was just scrolling through the starters and when Totodiles' picture showed up it was a shiny.
     
    I've had incredibly good luck with finding shinies. I've got at least ten of them, spanning from two in Leaf Green to three in White. As for HG/SS, I've found a shiny Meowth in SS, but none others as I spend more time with my other games.
     
    I vaguely remember seeing one when I was young, but I thought it was just either me or the game that was strange. I had no idea about shinies, lol. Other than that, I never run across them in my games (except Gyarados in HeartGold).

    I don't see what the obsession is with shinies. Is it just because they're so rare that everyone loves them? I don't really see any significance. I couldn't care less! :P
     
    Lordy, I must be the most unlucky person on the planet because i have never seen one EVER in all my years of playing Pokemon.

    I do agree with you there, Wyatt Fire.
     
    I saw and catch a shiny goldeen on my ev training. Oh I also throw a masterball at it. The nature was gentle. I couldn't do nothing with that. :'(
     
    I caught a shiny Tentacool the other day in HG and that is my first ever shiny in any game, I had a little nerd moment when it popped up lol
     
    The Red Gyarados from lake of rage and a green swinub are my shinies.

    Personally, I dont consider that red Gyarados a true, rare shiny because it is there every time the game is played--it is a key element to the story and it will always be there.

    However, I suppose that if I were to count it, then I've seen one shiny Pokemon--the red Gyarados. XD
