I have done masuda method for at least 100 eggs, and I never got a single shiny. Ever..

You would be extremely lucky to get one within your first 100 eggs. On Black 2, using the Masuda Method w/Shiny Charm (1/1024 chance of hatching a shiny), it took me 498 eggs to hatch a shiny Mudkip.

None, Lady Luck's mouth is stuck in a perpetual frown while facing me. Even with the Masuda Method I haven't been able to get any shinies.

I got a shiny Vulpix at around 60-70 eggs. C: I'm currently at 110 Growlithes, and no shiny. I think that, because my shiny Vulpix didn't take very long, I'm getting impatient with the Growlithes, especially as I don't even think the shiny Growlithes look too nice. >w< I'm only doing it because I like Growlithes, really.
My boyfriend is too impatient to hatch that many eggs, but he's really lucky at just finding shinies. ;o; He got two within a month of each-other, legitimately. I can't complain though, because he gave the Staravia he caught to me. ^^;

My quickest was Charmander in 73 eggs and my longest was Croagunk in 3281 eggs. I've had one other hunt that wasn't much longer than Charmander took and I so far haven't had any hunts that have taken anywhere near as long as Croagunk.

I've hatched about 20 eggs and already I'm getting impatient. I heard someone once got shiny snivy in 9 eggs.... I always thought the Masuda method was the easiest wayto get shinies.

Well I tried with a pony ta and can say it went way over 1000 and I gave up....

I then found a shiny weepingbell that same day at complete random...
I also found a shiny wooper around 2 months before hand

Haven't gotten one yet. I have a Japanese Ditto and Sneasel but I'm trying to get a Shiny Cranidos. Does using more than one Foreign Pokemon increase your chances like me using Ditto and Sneasel together?

I don't believe so.

And actually, I think using two pokemon of the same nationality as eachother doesn't activate the Masuda Method at all, but I may be wrong.
 

Aura Flare Riolu

Cutest Riolu around!
The first (and only) Shiny I hatched with the Masuda Method was a Shiny Blitzle which I did in just 13 eggs.
I've been doing others like Riolu and Vulpix but haven't gotten them yet. I gotta go back to doing my Eevee Hunt. I've lost count on how many I hatched so far. Hopefully I can get it before X and Y comes out so I can get a Shiny Sylveon. I hope the Shiny Eevee has Anticipation...

Just got a Japanese male Shuckle on the GTS, after Cranidos I'm going to work on getting Shiny Bold Shuckle with Contrary as my defense pokemon

I am currently hunting a shiny Ponyta. I've hatched 200 eggs so far, still no shiny though. Hopefully I'll get one soon! :(

I just hatched my first shiny using the mm. It took me 894 eggs to get my shiny charmander! I was so happy when it hatched because it was my shiny not programmed into a game. I've been playing sense silver came out and I'm so glad the mm was put into the game. It makes it a lot more fun to hunt shineys!

I really need to get myself a shiny charm, because for some reason I have seriously bad luck when it comes to MM lately.
The first time I used MM, I got a shiny Eevee in like 100 eggs. I thought wow, that was easy!

My shiny cottonee didn't show up until about somewhere in the 3000 range. I actually went on a 4 month hiatus with this hunt, because damn, I almost gave up. haha.
My shiny piplup hunt is current sitting somewhere around the 1200 range. Still dont have it. On another hiatus with this one. orz

So far I've hatched all the following shiny Pokemon in this many eggs:

Axew: 7th
Snivy: 120th-125th
Bulbasaur: 1st
Vulpix:45th-50th
Torchic: 21st

I guess I got lucky on all of those
