Ok I was playing HG and I was in the safari area and I ran into a shiny raticate. I tossed a pokeball at it and it ran away. I got so mad. Now Im trying to chain a few in pearl just to get it back. This is only the 4th shiny that I have found at the normal chances. My catching rate is 2 out of 4.

Im so happy I chained 4 shiny raticates before my chain broke. :) I got that raticate back :)

Wow that does sound like a pain. I had an instance in Pokemon White where I had a wild random encounter with a shiny Jigglypuff. Unfortunetly, I wasn't paying attention as I was trying to rapidly level my new Haxorus and was just having it attack while watching tv. I only noticed it was shiny when I glanced back to my screen, to see if I'd leveled up, and noticed the coloring was off on Jigglypuff. I literally smacked my froehead, hard, and non-verbally scolded myself for making such a stupid mistake... Luckily 2 hours later I found a shiny Golduck in the same area and caught it. Overall my shiny catching percentage is 80% over 15 years (gen 2-5 shinies were actualy available.)

I've missed out on a few shinies. Shinx, Seedot and Rogenrolla (which looked REALLY cool D: )
One of which was a Chansey in the Leaf Green safari zone. It got away!
I think I almost threw the GBA across the room.

Later on in Emerald, I was extremely fortunate to get a SHINY Torchic for my starter and later on a shiny Duskull at Mt.Pyre.

EDIT: The duskull MAY have been on Ruby, I can't remember for sures..

that happened to me too! I found a shiny hoppip in the safari zone and It ran away when I threw a pokeball! I was in the car so therefore when I screamed N00000000000000000000ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo... I got some very strange looks from around me my mums reaction was the worst . but I missed so many shinys the very first I found was a shiny pidgy I started my soulsilver like 2 weeks ago and had no idea what shiny pokemon were or even if they existed. so I looked at this shiny pidgy I thought my game must have a glitch or that it was going wrong so I killed it :( then about a month later I found out what shiny pokemon were and almost thrashed my head off my shoulders because I was so cross. but recently I chained a shiny starly so that kinda made up for it :)

In SoulSilver I had a similar case. I was down to one ball in the safari, and then I encountered a shiny Murkrow. It was literally the first shiny I have ever encountered in my life. (Besides the red Garados) I nearly died when I saw it; I even took a picture of the screen for proof. With extreme luck I actually caught it first try, and it remains my only real shiny pokemon today.

I've been lucky enough in a way that it hasn't happened to me. Otherwise I'd have a big scar on my head, as a consecuense of intense smacks against a table.
I've just encountered three natural shinies so far. Its so hurtful. I've been trying using the Poké-Radar, or just leveling up and there's no chance of getting any shiny. And whenever they appear, they are all male...

I know what you mean! I found a shiny rattata on my leaf green game, but guess what. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A POKEMON OR POKEBALLS TO CATCH IT! I just started the game when I found it! It was the first pokemon I encountered when I started playing it! I'm so sad! XC

for me though, it's worse. in my diamond version, i just beat the elite four because i was aiming for giratina. on my fifth or sixth try, it was a shiny. i was singing hallelujah all up until i clicked the wrong button. instead of my usual habit of of pressing bag to pokeballs to ultra, i pressed fight and flame wheel when it was barely alive by 5 hp. i nearly released that pokemon for doing that

Once I was playing on diamond, on my way to catch giratina on the small patch of grass I encountered a natural, shiny, staravia! I was dancing of joy I lowered its hp, put it to sleep, and started throwing ultra balls. I almost got it, but when it woke up, it used whirlwind. I got so mad, I threw my ds to the floor with all my might. Out broke and I had to wait nearly a year to get another ds.XD

When I was first starting off in diamond, (My 1st Pokémon game) I ran into 3 SHINIES. Two starlys, and a bidoof, without knowing what they were, I ran thinking it was a glitch. WORST. MISTAKE. EVER.

The only non-cheated shiny I have found was a Gastly in the Old Chateu in Platinum.
