Having started way back in 4th grade with Pokemon Red/Blue, I have yet to encounter a single shiny Pokemon to call my own (save for the Red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage).

With the addition of chain fishing in Pokemon X & Y, I have now made claim to both a shiny Staryu and a shiny Poliwag!!

How many shinies have you guys now found?
 
Depends on what you mean by "How many you now found." In Pokemon X and Y zero, but throughout Pokemon, besides the Red Gyarados, one. Which was just a Golden Geodude... Actually the first shiny I did find was a Green Zubat in Pokemon Fire Red. I thought it was a glitch so I caught it for fun. Then I looked at it and saw it was actually green and thought it was something like Missingno. I didn't want my game to mess up so I shut off the game without saving.

Though really, I'm not a shiny hunter. I mean if I find one cool, but other than being a pallet swap, they're no different than any other Pokemon.
 
Sweet, that's not bad. I've got a total of 9 shiny in Pokemon X. Two of which were obtained through trade, and I have a duplicate Krabby.
 
Cool. I have a shiny Granbull and Golem (In X/Y). My friend is addicted to shinies which is a decent gimmick. But I don't want anyone to tell me fairies are a gimmick.

I have been looking for a shiny greninja for SOOO long! Can I please trade with you? Shiny for shiny or whatever you want?!
 
I'm a shiny hunter, but besides two shiny Gyrados' (Lake of Rage x2), I have caught a shiny Whismur in my Emerald. I didn't even know it was a shiny, because I just had bought it used, but I wanted to fill up my pokedex so I caught it. Later I realized it was a shiny. And now it's stored safely on my Diamond.

You are a shiny hunter but you haven't caught one since Emerald ?_?

Do you trade for a lot of shinies?
 
Well shinies have been out since gen 2 but most people probably found their first shiny in gen 3. I bet Rstitch cloned it before migrating (right?).
 
I caught a Golbat in Ruby, grabbed a Ryhorn in Diamond, and fished a Poliwag out of Y. A freind just gave me a Throh because he didn't want it. So I have 4 shinies outside of the Red G and all the shiny giveaways.

Shinies are just a nice little flair to your pokes. I mean I always breed with a Japanese ditto trying to luck into one, but it's not too important. Honestly, I like my flying and surfing pikachus fromt he pokewalker more. Too bad they can't leave Soul Silver...
 
But to count mine from past games I have Shiny Xatu from the safari in R/S/E, a cloned shiny Modest oddish from a friend, a shiny Noctowl in HG, and I did have a shiny Zangoose before I traded it away in W.
 
Yes. I have quite bad luck, and with chain fishing I've tried it for hours, and still no luck. And no, I don't trade for shinies.
