I'm trying to catch Dialga in Diamond, but can't because I have to beat those Team Galactic people first. Ugh, I really want Dialga!

I want a Shiny Tangela too, I totally agree. But the thing is, I've never encountered a Shiny ANYTHING besides the in-game Red Gyarados in my SoulSilver game. XD

It happens when you least suspect it to.

Be that when you're hunting that elusive pikachu in the viridian forest (My Caterpie), or grinding in the middle of a nuzlocke run around viridian city (my rattata).

It's all luck. I hadn't caught a shiny since my Uxie in I think 2008. Then last April I caught 2 in a week :>

When I first caught a shiny (it was taillow) I thought it was just my eyes so after I caught it and trained it I restarted the game without saving it somehow. But the only shinies I've seen since then were linoone and raticate (both evolutions of basic Pokemon...)

I'm stuck on Area 10 of the Black Tower Challenge in Black 2.
I once barely beat SonicBoom in a Triple Battle with my beloved Shaymin (landform) from Platinum. It was awesome. XD nearly lost, we were both in the orange/yellow even though I was lv 100 and he was lv 81. ..He ev trains, I still don't get how to do it. ._.
I CAUGHT LATIOS WITH A POKEBALL. I STILL DON"T GET HOW THAT HAPPENED. HE WAS IN THE YELLOW AND I CAUGHT IT. That is totally a Chuggaconroy moment if you ask me. 'MAN MY LUCK WITH POKEBALLS'
My last shiny was my Goldeen from Black(1). still only 2 legit shinies (besides the Gyarados) are Seaking and Golem (FireRed). Both of these were just random. Geodude, I was going through Mt. Moon while my cousin was getting cheats for his DS AR on the computer. We just froze when we heard the shiny 'ting' from my GBA. I was freaking out as I caught it with my second Pokeball. (for some reason I was trying to do a Pokeball only run; where I was only buying and using Pokeballs.) I kept it in the PC for the rest of the game, telling myself I was gonna transfer it over to another game. Years later I was checking the game, about to restart it when I saw it in the pc box. I had completely forgotten about it. XD I immediately transfered it to Platinum and then Black where I leveled it up and evolved it to Golem. Goldeen, I was on my way to fight Landorus and wanted to try to EV my Crobat in speed so I was fishing/surfing for Basulin in a pond. I was shocked when a Goldeen showed up (I was still finding out that pokemon from other regions were now popping up) and even more when it sparkled with a familiar ting. I gave myself whiplash from my excited victory dance when I caught it in a Pokeball at full health. (my pokemon were way over leveled for it.) Funny, both the shinies were female and caught with Pokeballs. XD

What you said about catching Latios with a Pokeball reminds me of a little something that happened to me. It happened on my birthday last year. I was playing Pokemon White, and I wanted to catch Kyurem. I was using my Zekrom, and I managed to successfully attack twice. At that point, the Kyurem's HP was in the yellow zone. I wanted to attack it a third time, but I was worried I would defeat it by accident. So I went to my Pokeballs. The only one I had was a Timer Ball. So I threw it.... And caught it, just like that! A single Timer Ball. On only the third turn. With Kyurem's HP Bar in the yellow zone. I kinda like to joke about it by saying it was the game's way of saying "Happy Birthday!" :3

I plan on transferring the Kyurem to Pokemon Black Version 2, if I am able to. I think I'll also transfer my Thundurus, too.

I've been playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity lately. While I like the game, I get so obsessive with item and stall management that I end up spending a bunch of time doing that and not much time exploring dungeons. Ha ha. It makes it hard to play. I need to get over my need to manage everything and spend more time going out exploring.

Back to the shiny thing. You guys will not BELIEVE these stories. So my big bro and I were playing the games platinum and pearl about a year or two ago. Me with pearl him with platinum. And this was hilarious. He was exploring. Some cave, I forget which one, and he found a 'wait for it' shiny zubat. And he HATES poison type pokemon (dunno why) he got real sad because it was a zubat and I was uglier than the normal ones. It was a green zubat. That is a shiny zubat. And I saw him being sad and I went over and looked at his ds. I saw it and started to say "at least it's a shiny" and "you'll get a better one next time" and such and me who only just bought the game walked into the grass right after I got poke balls and I found a *wait for it* (I put stars there cuz I'm special) A SHINY SHINX! And I started screaming so and jumping and such and when he looked over he got real mad at the games. He thought mine was hacked. But it wasn't. And I still am the proud owner of a shiny Luxio (I hadn't evolved it because I was little and I thought it looked cool so I just stopped training it) yup.

This wasn't recent by any means, but continuing the shiny topic, I have always been extremely when it comes to finding shinies. In 9 years of playing I've never had a single random shiny encounter. I tried chaining, but I'd either mess up around the late teens, or get screwed over by the game. Once I got to a chain of 40 Phanpy and then spend an entire hour scanning over and over, never to find a shiny. I'd always wanted one, so this was quite sad for me.

Then at the start of this year I decided to try chaining again, and surprisingly easily, I found a shiny Shellos! I've since named him something generic relating to his shininess, and have EV trained him so that I could potentially use him. His stat merits and ability aren't the best for comepetitive play but I'm not too good at that stuff anyway.
