    I had a 6v6 shiny battle, and my friend had six shinies that I couldn't capture. This happened twice, actually.

    No. In FR/LG, the shinies in the Trainer Tower are always there.

    Also, no trainer Pokémon can be shiny except in the Battle Tower/Frontier.

    I've actually never seen a shiny that's from another trainer, though i'd probably turn the game off and then battle someone completly different >=)
    That would teach them to have shiny pokemon when i don't :(

    In my whole life of playing any Advanced Generation games, I've never seen a trainer who has a shiny Pokémon. That, or I can't tell the diffference between a shiny and a normal-colored Pokémon. XD

    Pingouin_7 is right. The only trainers with shiny Pokemon are all in the battle tower/battle frontier. No other trainers have, or ever will have, shiny Pokemon.

    I guess at the beginning of the game before you get your Pokéballs.

    I didn't know that there were shinies programmed into the Battle Tower, I thought it was just bad luck. XD

    Well once I found a shiny Psyduck, but had no Pokeballs.

    I dunno about that...on the way to Rock Tunnel on one of my Fire Red run throughs a Hiker had a Shiny Onix I think...
    Already said: No trainer except the ones at battle tower/frontier have shinies.

    I saw shinies only at Battle tower in FRLG. I had a shiny venusaur(FR) and a shiny Mightyena once(Emerald).
