I have a shiny golbat named RAREBAT.

One day you will transfer it to another game, hate the name, and release it.

Shiny Tentacruel has the same color as Shiny Tentacool.....

Shiny Tentacruel has a pale blue body and pale green spheres, whereas shiny Tentacool has a metallic gray body and bright green spheres. I personally prefer Tentacool's appearance.

RAREBAT is actually a pretty sweet name. And I don't see why anybody would want to release a shiny in the first place. If I had a shiny Golbat named POOPCAKE, I certainly wouldn't release it.

As you can see, I've had my fair share of shinies. My shiny Steelix, Quagsire, and Gyarados were actually found all in the same week, on the same file.

Dang it, how come other people have so much luck with shinies? I've only ever seen two RE shinies, one of which selfdestructed before I could catch it (I'll get you someday, Koffing...)

The only Shinies I have (that I caught myself and didn't get through trades) are: Caterpie, Krickitune, and Shinx. I also have a Larvesta, Vaporeon, Swampert, Beldum, and a couple more through trades.

You know in R/S/E, is it possible when the Beldum is on the table to get a shiny? if so what is the chance?

All the shinies I meet tend to have sh*ttie natures.
Except of the Adamant Beldum
 
So, about a week ago I started my first shiny hunt ever, after reading a very interesting thread here on Serebii. My target was Joltik, hunting in Chargestone Cave, but after 1923 encounters I instead ended up with...

Ferroseed - #597 (Rash)
Female (♀)
HP: 25
Att: 21 - 24
Def: 25
SpA: 11, 13
SpD: 24
Speed: 14, 16

Not the Pokémon I was hoping for, but a strong second placer at least!
Yes, nature was quite fail but IVs were pretty good. My first Gen V shiny ever, and I have 999+ hours on one of my games...

Then, as suggested by a friend, I began a hunt in Route 4 for a shiny Scraggy. Just a coup' of days later (another short hunt!), 2853 encounters... and about twenty minutes ago...

Sandile - #551 (Calm)
Female (♀)
HP: 7 - 13
Att: 11, 13, 15
Def: 27
SpA: 27
SpD: 0, 2
Speed: 5, 7, 9

Ohhh no. No no no. Not only is she the shiny I was hoping the LEAST for, but just... look at those IVs. And the nature. -Attack, her most important stat, and boosting a stat that she either has 0, or 2 IV in. Just no. :/ Well, I love her anyways though I won't get any competitive use for her.

I have yet to try the Masuda Method, because of lack of Wifi to snag a foreign Ditto, but ah well, Random Encountering them works just as well for me. I seem to be quite lucky actually.

Where to hunt next?

I myself have RNG'd every breedable pokemon up to and including the 4th generation.

After that I effectively quit on pokémon. Still playing the storyline and that is about it.

After 1 summer of obtaining all pokémon in various of sets (Like Mix Mence or Offensive Mence). I got all competive pokémon most people can only dream off...

Then Black and White was released in Japan, I realized quickly a lot of my pokémon became useless as with the new games there would also come a new metagame.

I decided it wouldn't be worth my time anymore, especially now I really got to study to finish the thoughest school of our regio =].
All I want now is to transfer most pokémon over to my Diamon/Pearl and then transfer it all over to Pokémon Ranch =| Just dont got the time =[

Yep, and like any other Pokemon, it's 1 in 8192. You can reset for it though.
