I'm currently trying to SR for Lugia, but no luck yet...
Same here!
I've been trying for a shiny Lugia for 16 days in a row now with no success
According to my calculations I SR'ed more than 10.000 times, it's frustrating but I won't give up that easily. Good luck to everyone trying their shinies!

That's so nice! Congratz!
No, it won't frustrate me, don't worry, I feel happy when people find shinies, even though when I might want them so bad, and if you think, you were lucky because you deserved! Take good care of it, I'll keep trying mine and see what happens.

On my Crystal the very first Pokemon I caught after I got my first pokeballs was a shiny Sentret. I remember how excited I was to find it, in all its purpleness. I have never found another shiny in any of my games since.
Dusk Vampire Kamui
Black Belt
The Shiny Pokemon I caught besides the red Gyrados, is a golden Pidgey, and a pink Spinerak.

A shiny Drowzee in the first time I played Silver. I didn't knew what shiny pokemon where so I was really worried about what was wrong XD And in Crystal a shiny Magnemite once.
dude i want to kiss you for this, i was starting to lose hope that suicune isn't soft-reset able sinc i'm busy with it for like two days or so but now that i know it can be done i'll try again.
what's the shiny catch rate in crystal again? 1 on the ???
does someone know?
K well back in the day, seriously like 7 years ago, i was playing Pokemon Gold in my bed. I mean this was REALLY late. I was bored, so I made my way to Ilex Forest. I cut down that one tree, and randomly started to headbutt the tree to the left of it. No word of a lie, a Shiyn Red Caterpie appeared! So i caught it. The next day i looked it up on the internet. Sure enough, at like 2am or so on a tuesday will get you that.....like WHAT ARE THE ODDS. Yeah man!
Just now I'm playing pokemon crystal. While training my Ariados in Route 39 (right above Olivine City). I'd say this was 8ish minutes ago, so like 1:32 am, approx.. Anyhow, I'm training in the vertically horizontal patch on the very left, when a Shiny Raticate appears! WHAAAT??!??!?!?!?!!!?!?! I know right?! Some luck! Anyways I caught it now!!
I've never seen a shiny pokemon in any pokemon game other than II Gen

Man, hatching for shinies is driving me nuts. @_@
Trying for a shiny Squirtle at the moment. Hopefully one will appear very soon. :3
I've been trying for a Scyther for quite a while *these are all bred with shiny parents*, but still, nothing.
My boyfriend found a shiny Ditto yesterday, but he didn't realise it was shiny until he fainted it... --.-- Silly boi...

Let me correct this:
No word of a lie, a Shiny Yellow/Gold Caterpie appeared!
Sorry mate, I think you lied =O
It's based on DV's.
The chance in G/S/C is 1/8192 just like the other games.
'Bishie' comes from the Japanese word 'bishounen' which can mean 'pretty boy', 'handsome boy', or 'hot guy'. (I prefer 'kakkoi' it literally means 'hottie' in Japanese).
Lesse...my first shiny would be the Red Gyarados (duh). I never did have that great of luck with finding any shinies....I did happen to find two on my very first Crystal Version (which doesn't work now because I had let someone at my school borrow it and I kept asking for it back and he didn't return it until a week later and it was all messed up! It wouldn't play at all!) The shinies I found were: Tentacool on Route34 and Nidoran (M) in the National Park. Of course, I didn't know ANYTHING about shinies (hey, I was figuring everything out on my own--I had no friends interested in Pokemon and at the time I had no internet. I didn't even know how to use the internet). I knew they were different and I wanted to catch them, but both times I didn't have any Pokeballs with me....-_-U That's when I learned to always carry Pokeballs...
The third shiny I found was on my second Crystal Version. It was a Caterpie. I found it in Ilex Forest and actually caught it. I hated the fact that it was a bug-type Pokemon (because I thought the bug-type Pokemon were all REALLY weak), but once it evolved into Butterfree, I had a blast training it!! ^_^ I even trained it to Lv100! (No, I didn't cheat to get it to Lv100, because I don't have any cheating devices for anything under the GBA.)

I defeated a Shiny Gyrados.
ChaosAngel
MINE!! :D
Beside the red Gyarados.. I remember I gotten shiny Donphan, Tangela and Spearow in my Silver. Found shiny Golbat and Meowth in my Crystal. Sadly.. I lost Silver and crystal's batteries died.. x_x I gotten the shiny Ditto through the glitch, but I never knew about the 1/64 breeding shiny odds.
I never found any random shinies in Gold.
