Shiny Pokemon Encounters - A.J. Nitro - 10-08-2012
So have any of you guys ever been lucky enough to encounter and catch a shiny Pokemon?
So I was playing Black 2 today and I wanted to get a Claydol on my team. So only after a few encounters, I find a shiny Baltoy. I was all shaky and nervous because I was afraid my Sleep Powder would miss and then he would Self-Destruct (ya I'm such a nerd). So happy I caught it!
My other encounters were hatching a Shiny Tyrogue in Crystal, and finding a Shiny Golbat in Silver where I didn't have any Pokeballs to catch it with.

Poochyena on Ruby, Unown on Gold (not HG), Magikarp on HG.
The biggest WTF encounter I had was when my friend let me borrow his Black for 10 minutes. All of a sudden, Shiny Golett. 10 minutes of Black, already a Shiny.

RE: Shiny Pokemon Encounters - Sol - 10-08-2012
My only two encounters with shiny Pokemon outside of the Gyarados in Gold and Silver were a Girafarig in Emerald, and a Starly in Diamond that I came across within an hour of first playing the game. I caught them both. c:
RE: Shiny Pokemon Encounters - Kami - 10-08-2012
Shiny Pidgey in Leafgreen, Shiny golbat in emerald(RIP, save corruption) Shiny Volbeet in Pearl, Red Gyrados in HG & SS, and I have no why but I had a shiny Raiku in Firered, And my most liked one was Dialga in my Diamond before it got corrupted.
RE: Shiny Pokemon Encounters - Garamonde - 10-08-2012
The Gyarados doesn't even count, so.
My first shiny... uhhh I don't remember, but I caught a shiny Hoothoot in Silver (but it was on an emulator so ugh), and the one shiny I regret the most is a Pidgeotto I had caught in Pearl some years ago.
Then last year, I for some reason idiodically started a new save not even thinking about all the stuff I had gotten with my cousin and thus lost my shiny Pidgeotto.
Otherwise... I don't remember any specific shinies.
RE: Shiny Pokemon Encounters - [robo9] - 10-08-2012
I remember a shiny Lickitung a long time ago when I was much younger, along with several that you would get from the daycare in Crystal that had the increased chance. I remember missing out on both a Hoothoot and a Rattata before having poke balls, and a few moths ago I caught a golden caterpie.

I'm just going to quote myself since my previous post pretty much covers it.

I then mentioned the weird pink Sneasel that I had found to Zac and he told me it was super rare and that I should have caught it.

RE: Shiny Pokemon Encounters - Tellis - 10-09-2012
The only shiny I have ever encountered was a Geodude on that one route going away from Blackthorne in Silver (you can go there early though, iirc). And I didn't know what a Shiny was or how rare it was until later on and when I found out I was like "oh well just a Geodude."
How come the random number generators on some of you people's games like you way more?
RE: Shiny Pokemon Encounters - Previous - 10-09-2012
In all the hundreds of hours playing these Pokémon games
not a single shiny encounter.
