how many shinys do you people have?

[pokemasterfrank]

Well, there are no shinies in RBY, so you have a 0% chance of encountering a shiny there.

Arguably, you could catch one in RBY, trade it to GS, and have it have the correct values to be shiny

I've only ever encountered one shiny besides shiny gyrados: a shiny crabby in Gold version. That was when I was a lot younger, and now for some reason the crabby is gone. I must have released it thinking it was a glitch or something

I think I'm the unluckiest gamer ever in this respect. I have never once even encountered a shiny pokemon outside of Red Gyarados.

You're not alone. I've never seen one either

EDIT: And now that I've read the rest of this topic, it seems there are plenty of us. Perhaps we should form a group?

Quite. "Shiny-avoided Anonymous"?

"Hi, my name's Hinoryu, and shinies avoid me..." "Hi Hinoryu!"
