I remember playing pokemon fire red version when I encountered a shiny zapdos, but I didn't know it was an shiny because it's color was virtually the same. And to make matters worse, I accidentally killed it. :-( 

That's messed up. I have never seen a shiny Zapdos before, or for that matter any legendaries in the game. I just googled 'Shiny Zapdos' and I totally agree with you.

Sadly I have yet to capture any shiny pokemon. Hopefully I'll come across one someday.

two years ago a shiny ditto apeard in a cave on pokemon Emerald but i onely had a level 100 Groudon and a quick ball :´( It was my first shiny   i ever SAW!    i still think about it all the time>

More than 20 by now. I remember a shiny Kakuna in ilex forest. That was my first shiny, but apart from that, too lazy to go through all of my old games and list every one of them, haha.

I'm a pokemon fanatic

The grand total of shiny Pokemon I have encountered in my life is sadly a zero. I did google them just now to make sure. But I've never even played any games that have them.

I have never caught a shiny in all my years of Pokémon gaming (not counting the red Gyrados in GSC).
I guess I've just never looked for them, but with how much I play, it's kind of weird...
Maybe I'm just like those other poor saps with rotten luck.

I've only caught two shiny Pokémon in the years of playing Pokémon. In silver there was a shiny Pidgey which I caught after almost fainting it, I would of been so mad if I did that. The second time I caught one It was when I was looking around for a Ralts in my emerald game, little sucker is so hard to find I almost gave up and left but as I tried a shiny Ralts came out and said hi, easy to say I caught it after almost fainting the poor thing.

While I have only ever caught two I have seen many shiny Pokémon while playing, most of the time I either faint them, they faint themselves or it happens when I'm at the beginning of the game and have no Poke balls, that happens way more then I'd like it to.

i only captured the shiny gyrados that everyone caught. I have no luck with shinies.

~I have caught 4 shinies: A Pikachu in Leaf Green, a Hoothoot in Silver and a Lairon in Ruby. My favorite has to be the Lairon, it was the first Pokémon to reach Lvl 100 ever for me.~

  I've only legit caught a shiny Pokémon once. It was a shiny Golett and it was by accident XD. I was half asleep and was just poking the screen to raise my Pokémon. I miss poked the item button and the Use last item. When I realized it was shiny, I was rolling around in bed giggling with glee. I did the same thing when I got a shiny Nine tails via Wonder Trade.

B619ook : i have a big grand total of no shiny pokemon

I just added the second shiny Pokemon to my history. It's a shiny Magnemite, caught in Pokemon Resolute v1.07.

Before that, I only came across a shiny Tentacool in Pokemon Flora Sky. 

I have 4 shinies, all in Pokemon White right now.
Those Pokemon are: A shiny Rayquaza my friend traded me (nicknamed Umbreon) , a shiny Smeargle that I bred (named Pierre) , a shiny Ratatta that I encountered in the wild (Topercent) and a shiny Ducklett I found on a bridge.

I've only ever had two shiny Pokemon that I have captured before. One is probably a Pokemon that nearly everyone has probably caught, and the other is one that I "received" by accident. Even though I didn't "catch" it, I still consider it "caught." Anyway, let me explain...

In Pokemon Gold/Silver when you come to the Lake of Rage, you have to encounter the Red Gyarados that is technically a shiny Pokemon ( at least I think it is ). That is the only Pokemon that was wild that I actually threw a Pokeball at and caught it.

The other shiny Pokemon that I had is actually a funny story, somewhat. See, one of my favorite movie franchises of all time is The Matrix. One time I decided to be a little creative and name my Pokemon trainer "Neo." Well apparently when you name your trainer that, any starter Pokemon that you get will automatically be a shiny one. I swear to you that I had no prior knowledge of this so long story short, I had a shiny Cyndaquil as my first shiny Pokemon, even though I didn't actually "catch" it like I said before.

I found a Shiny Wurmple in Pokemon Ruby, but not on this site, on my GBA. I wasn't sure if it was shiny, but when the battle started, there was some shiny stuff floating around. Luckily I had my Sceptile with False Swipe, and I caught it! He's now a Shiny Beautifly, and I love him, even if his stats kind of suck. XD

That's what he looks like.

I have caught only three shiny Pokemon. I caught a shiny Makuhita in a regular ruby play through. I also caught a shiny Rhyhorn and Drowzee on a Fire Red Vizzed play through.

I was playing Pokémon y and I caught a shiny scatterbug

*goes deep into mind to recall past Pokemon memories*

From what I remember, I caught these shinies in this order (not counting Red Gyarados obviously)

Shiny Krabby in Pokemon SIlver 

Shiny Voltorb in Pokemon Fire Red

Shiny Bidoof and Wobuffet and I THINK a Geodude in Pokemon Diamond.

That's all I can remember.

I have never caught a shiny (I am not counting the red Gyarados in Gold/Silver/Crystal). I'm surprised I haven't encountered one in long grass/in a cave/surfing yet as I'm sure I have had 8000+ wild encounters... Hopefully I might get lucky in my current play through of Fire Red Omega!
