Let's see...

Aquajet (Sharpedo in Emerald)
EskimoFood (Walrein caught in Sapphire but imported to Platinum)
Rosebud (Cherrim in Pearl)
Brutality (Gyarados in Emerald)
Goldclaw (Scizor in Platinum)
Sapphire (Ditto in Gold)
Mud (Quagsire in Platinum)
Solar (Espeon in Gold)
KillShroom (Breloom in Pearl)
Ribbit (Toxicroak in Pearl)

And my proudest achievement:
Luna (Cresselia in Platinum)

I swear that Cresselia is legit. I found it shiny and caught it myself. It was the result of endless saving and restarting in front of Cresselia just waiting for a shiny one to pop up, and after awhile, to my amazement, the shiny reared it's head. You should've seen my face :D

So yeah, that's all my shinies. As an extra, I was Feebas hunting in Sapphire and a shiny Carvanha popped up, but I was so focused on Feebas that I didn't notice it was shiny and killed Carvanha in frustration. Only when it was to late did I realize my mistake...:sad:

None. D:
I heard that there was this special way to get them called chaining, can someone explain that to me? I'm a bit.. slow. ;-;
 
Fearow and Graveler, both from platinum. Both are legit... If I were hacking, don't you think I would go for better pokemon? Oh, and once, when I was younger and obsessed with trying to find shinies, I spent upwards of an hour starting and restarting my LeafGreen, hoping to find a shiny squirtle.... Those were the good old days. Now I'm only mildly alarmed when I find a shiny, although I only have 2.

Ruby:
Mightyena - Traded from a friend.

Emerald:
Crobat (Caught as a Zubat) - I found it in Shoal Cave, and I was shocked.

FireRed:
Seaking - The very first shiny I ever encountered; it ran away in the Safari Zone. Then, a few months later, I was fishing in the same area, when lo and behold, there was another one! :freaked: I caught that one.
Dodrio (Caught as a Doduo) - My first shiny that I caught and the second that I actually encountered. I was stunned when I paralyzed it with Electabuzz, then caught it with an Ultra Ball.
Marowak - Randomly encountered at Sevault Canyon, and weakened it with Suicune, and chucked an Ultra Ball and caught it.
Caterpie - Traded from a cousin who encountered it in Viridian Forest within 3 minutes of the game. :freaked:

Platinum:
Rhyhorn - Well, I think you know the drill.
Uxie - I just clicked on it! And it was shiny!!!! And I caught it with a spare Master Ball gotten at the GT. :grin:
Scyther - I seriously gawked at for about a minute before trying to catch it. And I did.

I at one point had a shiny Tentacool in FireRed, but when I put it in the PC, I logged in it a few minutes later, and it wasn't there! Not to mention that I saved before that. I don't know what happened to it, but my friend has had that happen with his Salamence and Articuno. They just... vanished. :freaked:
 
I've found three by now, if memory doesn't fail me.

A shiny Tentacool on Gold, a shiny Seviper on Sapphire and a shiny Raticate on Leaf Green.

I wouldn't really call it luck. All three of these were caught in three of the several ROMs I've played. I'd just say I found these three over, so to say, increasing my chances.
 
Check that. I just caught Rosie (Shiny Glameow, female). Yay!

Nine shinies seen, six caught.

Poochyena, Bellsprout, Sandshrew, Marowak, Tauros, Shinx, Beautifly, Bellossom, Glameow
