    Lemme See...
    Leaf Green: I came across a Shiny Oynx in Victory Road. Caught it, got out of Victory Road, saved and the file corrupted to the point just before. So I lost it.

    I came across a Shiny Pidgey as well on Three Island I think. Had ONE Ultra Ball left, caught it
    I came across a Shiny Ditto while looking for Suicine of a friends Fire Red. We lost it

    In D/P I've found a Rattata and Pachirisu shiny by Pokeradin'.
    Plus the Shiny Gyrados. So...6 in total, 3 of which i caught. One of which I can't find (I can't find my LG) so I'm stuck with 2. Interestingly, never found one on my Sapphire, on second playthrough now.

    Never ever found a shiny on my Sapphire, 2 copies of Ruby, 3 copies of FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald. Actually I have two copies of Diamond, and one Pearl and I haven't found on on them either.

    The only legit shiny I have ever got was Gyarados from Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

    That's right! There was the gyarados in g/s/c. Funny; I have it right next to me, and yet I haven't played it in years. I really need to start playing it again.

    Shiny Hariyama in Ruby(Whirlwinded me), and Shiny Registeel in Sapphire.
    I SRed for the Registeel, but it was still a random 1/8192 encounter anyways. My luck in 3rd gen games has been terribly sucky :c

    I have :

    A shiny Pikachu from FR which became part of my main team (I didn't even notice it was a shiny till my friend saw it as a Raichu...I really should've guessed what those stars meant).
    A shiny Psyduck from FR (blue Psyduck ftw)
    TWO shiny Oddish from FR (traded one)
    A shiny Growlithe from Pearl (I was SO happy about this)
    and a shiny Slowbro from a friend.
    I think I may have more, but that's all I can remember...

    Gamehacker64, it's kind of ironic that you've got more legit random encounter shinies than most people on here :D

    First shiny I ever found was a pidgey on Silver.. before getting my first pokeballs.

    In 3rd Gen I got
    Whismur in Ruby
    Magneton and Ghastly in Fire Red
    Bannette and Rayquaza in Emerald

    The Magneton is now gone since I deleted the save file to start over.
    So far Sapphire and Pearl have not given me any shinies and apart from Rayquaza, my shinies don't look much different than the normal ones and have terrible natures.

    LOL THAT SUCKS. AHAH BEFORE FIRST POKEBALLS. (Above)

    Only one in FR. I was training my newly evolved clefable and I thought "great another common spearow. Oh well, i'm about to level up" and then a little sparkle. Caught within a few seconds..

    It's now in my Pokemon Ranch fluttering about as a fearow. The PokeRadar ignored me and didn't do it's job. Through GTS I got some hacked shnies. Shiny Swampert over different forums + Shiny charizard. Kinda funny how I got the charizard.

    I was uberly bored and I hated my weak charizard, so I traded it over wi-fi and wanted a level 50+. I come back, level 50 shiny charizard. gwah gwah gwah!11!
