Hiya, quick question:

Let's say you want a shiny starter on a 3rd or 4th gen game. You begin a new game, and are about to select a starter. Would it show you whether that starter was shiny before you select it, or would you have to choose your starter and then check it's summary?

Nope, in RSEFRLGDPPt, you need to choose it and check its summary. In HGSS, in the little picture, it shows if its shiny or not.

i found my third ever non-red gyarados shiny — a butterfree — recently in soulsilver; it was in the bug catching contest... the upsetting thing is, i wasn't paying attention and didn't realise it was a shiny until i ran from it :(

Shockingly electric!
Tried chaining in Eterna forest, couldn't get a chain of more than 3 let alone even finding a shiny. I suck at chaining, my biggest chain is 17.

Cool. How many eggs did you have to hatch? Actually, I'm trying Masuda Method with my staraptor and a japanese female hoothoot and, after 540 eggs, a shiny one didn't come out yet. Do you need fill all the boxes in only one save? The parents are now in level 100...

At least, I did many trades on the last months and now, along with the four shinies I get for myself, I have 18 now. Still wanting shiny gligar, shiny absol, shiny trapinch and shiny torkoal... T_T

that totodile took me 150 eggs to obtain shiny. Pretty fast considering my other Masuda shiny mudkip, took 1121 eggs.

I have 3 Shinies, all from random encounters. I caught a shiny Makuhita on Sapphire, a shiny Weepinbell on Pearl and a shiny Graveller on Platinum

They're all now on my Platinum game and fully evolved (Hariyama, Golem, Victreebel), soon to be EV'd (2/3 perfect natured) as soon as im done with current projects

About 5 minutes ago I was chaining for a Nidoran Female. I killed the 9th Nidoran and then I saw the Shiny patch and I started to jump around everywhere because it was my first shiny that I've chained ever! I threw a Quick Ball at it and it was caught on the first try! Here are two pictures! (Sorry about the quality I used my Dsi :p)

My first shiny pokemon was a shiny Weedle and I caught him at Leaf Green at Viridian Forest. The day after that, a friend click on New Game insted, so I lost it.
Then I had any shiny pokemon for two years, until I bought pokemon Pearl, and the second month after that, I found a shiny Roselia on Route 114 (if I remember right), and I still have it!!!! Well, now it's a Roserade. ;407;
