I cought a black rayquaza and a green zubat in 347 hrs of game play. As you can see I'm not too lucky either.
I got green salamence, shiny koffing, blue gulpin from a friend and a shiny tentacruel from a used sapfire my friend boght.

My emerald is kinda lucky. I cought zubat and rayquaza on it and my friend cought bagon, coffing while he had my emerald. I also seen a shiny farfech'd in battle arena 5 shinys on one game.
 
Don't sweat it, you'll find one eventually

Yea you'll find one, as long that it isn't a shiny Chansey in the Safari Zone. Never look for shinies in there!

I used to be shinyless after a few years of gameplay until I found a wild shiny Golbat on Emerald. Two months later, I caught a shiny Geodude.

I found JYNX in my Gold and hatched to Smoochum(both shiny)
 
I guess im a so-called 'Cursed' trainer. Played the games avidly since the release of Silver and never seen a shiny yet :(

The exact same thing over here. Since my first game (Silver) all the way to my FireRed, despite hundreds and hundreds of hours spent playing, I still haven't found a shiny.
 
Same here.I never had much shinies and when I did they were all deleted.I haven't seen one shiny on my Sapphire version and I've played it for 320:00.-.-;

Shinies are VERY hard to find. It took me months to find a shiny. I have a shiny Tentacool in Firered.
