I started a new game the other day on my Diamond version and found a shiny Bidoof while training my Chimchar in Route 201. I was so shocked that I'd seen a shiny Pokemon so early in the game, and on accident too. Of course, I caught it and it's been sitting in my PC ever since.

you're really lucky dude... encountering a shiny at the very beginning of the game is an INCREDIBLE coincidence. hope your luck stays til the end of the game. :D

That happened to me, only it was a shiny Geodude in the Coal Mines place.
And yesterday I was training my Skitty in Emerald and I found a shiny Skloth.
It freaked me out 'cause after it yawned stars started to swirl around it and I thought It was using Swift. O_O;

As stated on this page, the chances of finding a shiny are 1/8192, or a 0.0122% chance. You are just as likely (or unlikely) to find one early in the game than later in the game.

after over 450 hours on my game I finally found a shiny. It was a starly while I was EV training. Not impressive but given starly's shiny colors (Light/dark browns and an orange-ish beige) and the fact it was caught on the 1st day of fall it kinda has an unimportant awesome to it. XD

One of the select few shinies I have caught was a Bidoof of all things, in the Safari Zone. I'm glad it didn't run away. :)

Uggg, after four hours of teetering on the brim of unconsciousness trying to catch Pokemon in the Safari Zone to put onto Pokemon Ranch, I encountered a Shiny Gyrados useing a Super Rod.
It ran.
I was pissed.

I've found FIVE shinies in GBA games that I couldn't catch, and 3 of them were very strange. (Wrong colours, different sparkles. :S)

And one was a Skarmory in Battle Pyramid.

Then I found an Abra that I COULD catch. Threw my Ultra Ball.

"Shoot! It was so close, too!"

So you guys could be worse off. :(

My first shiny I actually CAUGHT was a Bidoof.

Right before I was going to fight the 8th gym in Pearl I encountered a Shiny Floatzel around level 40 but I got so excited that I accidentally killed it.

*yawns obnoxiously*

This thread never seemed to have a real subject worth discussing (blah blah shiny chance is still the same blah blah lucky blah blah.), so um... yeah, I'm finally getting around to locking it now. Pay no attention to the mysterious person behind the curtain. ¬_¬
