Still waiting for that special moment when I encounter a shiny...
Looks like cotton candy with a touch of cherry blossom, huh? <3
Your time will come. After all, rate for wild shiny isn't that bad. Plus Pokeradar, plus ShinyCharm, if you got them.
I have neither yet. At what point do they show up? Right now, I'm at the Theo-grinding spot at Route 13 after clearing Venisi's Gym.
In all of the "official" Pokemon games, I have only ever encountered a single shiny (not counting the red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage)... it was in Crystal, and for the life of me, I can't remember what it was, only that it was a low-level something-or-other that I already had and was sick of seeing on that route (maybe Hoothoot or Rattata or something). And this was before I knew shinies were a big deal, so... yeah, I'm kicking myself now.
On the same cartridge, I also reset after a Raikou encounter thinking I'd get another shot at catching it if I did (obviously I didn't, and never saw it again)... and Potion'ed/FullHeal'ed/PokemonCenter'ed the heck out of a Pokemon that got Pokerus, getting thoroughly frustrated when it didn't go away (again, not realizing the rarity and benefit of what I had). Crystal HATED me!
On the fangame side, I was VERY surprised to revive a shiny Aerodactyl from a fossil in Insurgence! Only shiny in any of the fangames to date, though.
