Oh, mine was a Shiny Machop. They're green.

[Therolyn]

A couple of days ago, after restarting my Pokemon White 2, I managed to catch myself a shiny Psyduck. A pretty nice catch as its the fifth shiny I've even seen, but only the third I managed to catch

[Korbac]

Never seen or caught a single shiney despite playing the games for the equivalent of hours on end.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I've found shiny Lotad, Tentacool, Tentacruel, and a Geodude that blew itself up. All of these were in different games.

[Robosaur]

for the longest time I'd always talk about how one of the elite 4 fought me with a shiny hippodon, and how frustrated I was that it was a trainer who had a shiny that I couldn't catch.

turned out it was just female.

Hahaha oh maaan. It's even constant on the game cart, I think, so every time I'd restart my old Silver game as a kid, the same trainer would always have the same shiny Spinarak.

[DeKaFu]

I've found two wild shinies, but they've both been kinda...meh.

In my original Silver game, I caught a shiny Raticate. ....Yay? It couldn't even have been a Rattata, which are cute. Also, it was in Kanto way post-game so I couldn't even work it onto my team.

In Sapphire I caught a shiny Minun, which is just terrible.

I miss the time that Shiny pokemon actually mattered.

They should reintroduce a reason why you would want them other then the appearance.

Why did you ever want them when shininess actually mattered beyond rarity (which has remained unchanged), though?  Shiny Pokemon could only ever be male if the Pokemon's gender ratio was 7:1 (e.g. all starters, Eevee), and had relatively poor IVs: 10 out of a maximum of 15 in everything except attack, which varied in a set, and HP, which was always either 8 or 0.

Well, since I don't even breed for IVs even today, I can't really comment too much. ^_^

[Absolute Niro]

I've only ever encountered two shiny Pokémon. First time was a Machoke in Pearl, however I turned around to tell my friend and reflexes made me press "Run" as if it was a normal Machoke and I never saw it again.

Second time was a Litwick in Black, that one I caught. I love the way shiny Chandelure looks so that was pretty cool.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Oh, there was also a shiny Magneton that I really wanted but didn't have anything to catch it with.

[DeKaFu]

Ever since they introduced shinies I've always reserved my Master Ball in case I encountered one. Means I don't have to worry about exploding/roaring shinies, at least in the latter parts of the game.

That said, my enduring nightmare has always been encountering a shiny Scyther (my all time favourite) in a Safari Zone. D:

[UltraValican]

I caught a Shiny Ghastly on my actual Soul Silver cart when I first played. Traded it for a Bagon egg from a friend. I just don't care for the Gengar line, and he really wanted it.
I also saw a Growlithe in a Rom-hack,(early build of YARHF?) but it was before you got Pokeballs.

[Naryar]

Last shiny I caught was a skarmory in SoulSilver.

also, that new eeveelution def looks like Normal or Psychic. Looks far too cutesy (ugh) to be a dragon type.

Best pokémon ever : Gyarados. Especially shiny Gyarados.

Yes, thunderbolt rapes it. I don't care, still awesome.

Discuss.

[Mr Space Cat]

Eevee evolving into a dragon? That's silly. A Steel type evolution I could believe, a Ghost type I could believe, there hasn't been poison or fighting either. But a dragon evolution? That just seems completely out of the blue. Espeon has psychic covered too, so I dunno about the chances of another psychic evolution.

Looking at the new evolution though, I honestly wouldn't know what to say. maybe a ghost type? Those ribbon things remind me of a chimeco. If it's a normal type, it'll have to be rlly gud.

I need to follow these newfangled sixth gen pokemans.
