Do you have any shiny pokemon from the older games?

I literally JUST caught a Shiny Weedle (Lv 4, F, Lonely) in Viridian Forest in LeafGreen. Super happy. Just thought I'd log in to share. :D
 
The only Shinies I have/had are all in my Gen 5 games, excluding the Red Gyarados from Gens II and IV. They are a Shuckle, Galvantula, and a Cinccino I got in a trade, but then traded away.
 
I recently got my first shiny in emerald! it was a nice green orbed tentacool, I'm planning on transfering him later but I think it is so cool!
 
A shiny Magnemite called Plug, a Meowth called Felix, and a Ponyta called Stagnus, all Pokemon Silver. :D
 
I also now have a shiny hariyama in emerald should give him a nickname but not sure what to give him.
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

-looks at sub-forum-
if we're talking Gen 1-3 only then i never caught the shiny gyarados in Gold (i'm like the only one who didn't xP)

but i did catch one shiny zubat in FireRed in Mt. Moon.

And i can now add that i just caught a random silver slugma in my Emerald cart. Wasn't expecting it, per usual, as i was just running around Hoenn checking out different hidden base locations, when this little molten silver goo pops out of the ash covered grass! xD Only had 2 ultra balls on me too with a team pack full of killers :B

i even took a pic, which i may upload later.
 
I have a lovely shiny Gyarados or two. Plus I found a shiny Staravia and a shiny Kricketune in Diamond. Then there was the time I found a shiny Graveler and it blew up in my face before I had a chance to throw a second Poke Ball.
 
Shiny Nidorino in Crystal...not sure how Crystal's internal battery is doing, though. Gen III is the only generation I never encountered any random shiny Pokemon in. And I don't consider Gen IV to be old yet. :p
 
Something was weird with my Silver version, and every time I started it I'd get a shiny starter. It was Generation 2, and I played it on the original Game boy, so I just figured the stars on it's summary and when it popped out is what starters did in Gold/Silver. I also had a shiny Houndour and voltorb, not that I could tell.

Someone mentioned running into shinies in battle tower in Emerald, and I did too! I remember facing a shiny Espeon vividly, around 40-50 battles into a level 100 challenge.

My first Gen 3-5 shiny was a Litwick I caught pretty early on in Black.

Ran into a shiny Tangela on LG; 'twas a nail-biter as most of my team was at level 70 or higher and I had no Master Ball. Thankfully, I had a low level Meowth that could wear the thing down. On Emerald I bred to get a shiny Roselia--it took me eight months of hatching before I ever got the blasted thing.

The rest of my shinies are from Gen IV onwards.
 
I got a shiny staravia in SoulSilver. Originally caught in platinum. Also, I caught a shiny meditite in diamond, and transferred it to white and forgot about it when I deleted my save file. I almost cried.
 
I had a shiny Gyarados on my Silver, until it decided to commit suicide. (The internal battery, that is, not the Gyarados.)
 
A Gyarados committing suicide... Now I've seen everything.

I have;

Shiny Weedle (Gold)
Two Shiny Gyarados (Heart Gold)
Shiny Exeggcute (Leafgreen)
Shiny A Unown (Leafgreen)

T- That's it...
 
The only ones I still have are 2 Tangelas on my Crystal, they randomly decided to show up about 5 minutes apart when I was training outside of Mt. Silver. Other than that I've written over the saves, shiny Pokemon lost their magic for me.
 
Not sure if I've poste here already, but I have a shiny Camerupt (caught as Numel), and a Golbat on Emerald. Didn't find out you could RNG untill after I'd trained Camerupt, so Golbat was even luckier.
