Just caught my second of two (well, three if you count the Haxorus) shinies in Pokemon Black 2, and I feel the need to celebrate. Grinding a Snorunt (just about to finish the Pokedex, I only need Glalie and Mothim, and I already have a male Burmy), and in the process I just caught a shiny Audino. Been specifically wanting one of those because I like its shiny quite a bit, and to boot I lucked into a critical capture on it right from the start.
Previous shiny in Black 2 was a Cottonee, if anyone's curious. Unfortunately not one that has Prankster. Also have a shiny Plusle in Black.
Edit: Woo, Shiny Charm just paid off! Had to do some reloading for it, but just picked me up a shiny Registeel. Was just about to give up for the time being and go do my daily Join Avenue stuff when I just happened to get it. Also finally used one of my three Master Balls, because no way I was risking knocking it out.

Congrats.
I just have one shiny in White 2. A Pidove...with Pokérus.
Hold your applause, please.

Is there any overlap between shininess and Pokerus? Because if not, damn, the odds of that have to be ludicrously low. Only way you could really top it would be if it were a shiny Wynaut with Pokerus caught on Mirage Island.

I have yet to even meet a shiny Pokémon.  BTW, do shiny Pokémons even do anything other than look unusual? |

No, they're just neat to look at. They also serve as telltale signs that whoever you're playing with online is hacking has a team of six shinies.

Ran into a shiny Pidgey in Gold/Silver. Killed it, didn't think it was special.
Since then I haven't seen another, but I have snagged a legit (from a friend who caught it themselves) shiny Bronzong (with levitate) and Pelliper. Also have a shiny Rayquaza through the GTS though I assume it's hacked.

I haven't been a fan of Pokemon in 13 years so I have no idea what any of those words mean.

Basically, every other Pokemon also has an alternate color that gets a shine to it when sent out like that does, but they only have a 1-in-8,000-something chance of showing up. |

Only shiny I've ever caught (I don't really count the red Gyarados) was a Weepinbell, now Victreebel, in HeartGold.

There's a video out there of someone doing a Pokemon walkthrough and the first pokemon he sees is a shiny  and he has NO way to catch it! |

I hope your girlfriend isn't nearby while you're catching it.
Remember the Shiny Pidgey story?

Congrats, though I only stick to Fire Red and Leaf Green. I need to spring for a ds one of these days and get me Heart Gold and Soul Silver. I'd play the newer ones but that's a debate all onto itself about designs and not liking them.  Anyway, on topic, I've caught a Shiny Meowth and a Shiny Rattata. When I first started playing Fire Red, I got a shiny Squirtle but I restarted because I didn't know why the color was messed up. Now I regret it everytime I play.  |

Bumping this back up with a tweak to mention that, as the front post has been edited to say, I caught a shiny Registeel too! Woo!
