I saw my first Shiny in the Safari Zone =/ Pinsir... ran out of balls. I did manage to get a Shiny Bold Grimer a few weeks ago.

I went to pick up my Beldum after beating the E4 on my newly reset Emerald profile, and on the absolute first try, not even aiming for a shiny, I got a shiny Beldum. I didnt realize I got it until about 10 minutes after taking the pokeball off the desk. I took the pokeball, went to the pokemon center to take the XP share out of the computer, pressed Start, went to my pokemon, and there it was, a shiny Beldum

I caught a shiny Venomoth in the Safari Zone yesterday, which was great. But today I caught a shiny VenoNAT, also in the Safari Zone! What are the chances of that?

Let's go to the beach, each.
I accidently found a wild Shiny Roselia in Ruby between Verdenturf and Mauville a few days ago.

It was at the average level. I was looking for Volbeat when it appeared. It was a good day. Took only one Great Ball to catch it.

i'm not dead...srsly
ARGH! I've been soft resetting for almost the whole year trying to find a shiny torchic. I think my cartrige is cursed ._."
Yet, i buy leafgreen off my friend for $10 and find shiny mewtwo in 2 weeks. But also, i found a shiny entei after speed-running through my pokemon gold version. And now i have the sudden urge to get it in colosseum. Which brought up the question, do people actually try to get shinies in coloss/XD anymore?

The first shiny I've ever found was a Wurmple right at the beginning, of course at that time I didn't have the internet to see it is shiny as I only saw a minor difference in it's appearance.

On the other side, I was incredibly lucky to encounter a wild shiny Whismur so I decided to catch it and I've stored it in my PC.

Today, i found a shiny golbat at Meteor Falls,my brother was playing it,and he called me why is it a different colour.I said give me so i could catch that shiny pokemon.
I was worried about he running because he has a habit of it.

Arriving glacially.
Well, last night I got a shiny Beldum after over three years of soft resetting. I have no idea how many SRs I did!

Here are some pictures (they're huge):

I have my first Shiny at FR (too bad it's from an emulator) it is Voltorb. My Voltorb has a Hardy nature and is level 25. I don't like Voltorb at all, but I really like its color. It's so blue :D

Congratulations! You can use some thingy to transfer the game to your DS and you can migrate, but I forget what it's called.

I've been SRing for A Torchic on Ruby, and the internal battery thingy had ran dry, does this affect my SRing or anything else?( If so, i'll be pretty sad, i've done about 1,000-2,000 SR's)
