Need a thread to let out some bottled up excitement

On April 25, I was playing on one of my roms (I have every game, so no worries) and I was ev training in a spot i made, when I ran into my first ever shiny. I had no pokeballs unfortunately, so, I did the next best thing. I took a screenshot of it.

Then, as I was riding on the bus home, playing my diamond, I found my second shiny today, April 30th, and of course this time I caught it. Shiny Starly.

Nevertheless, I'm really excited as I have been playing pokemon since it came out and after all this time, got a shiny.

Well, heck, if you want legitimate pokerus, be glad to trade you a pokemon with it, :P.
Though, amazingly, i said because things are happening differently in my diamond, I might get a shiny in it, said that soon after beating the league, and whaddaya know, I got a shiny on my diamond.
 
Has anyone at all noticed that the screenshot shows a level 1 wild Alakazam?
 
now just get a legitimate shiny in a legitimate situation.

grats though finding shinies takes quite a bit of luck.
 
Ah, I see. Sorry, I guess I didn't read it properly.

Congratulations, I suppose, but yeah, the next step would be to get one in a fully legitimate situation!

I did that too. And didn't magnetflygon say he got a shiny on his Diamond too? That's a legit situation.
 
Yes, 5 days later guys, I did find a legit shiny in a legit situation. On my Diamond, was going to EV train a mudkip, discovered there was an outbreak of zigzagoon too, I kept running around and then I run into a starly. As I looked at it, I thought, "Is that starly a different colour?". Then, it came into the battle view, and I saw the sparkles. I immediately caught it.

It's really kind of funny that you found a shiny in an illegitimate situation. It's almost like it doesn't count because you found it in a messed up ROM, not a real game, but it's still pretty amazing. My only shiny was a male Nidoran, on my Fire Red. I caught it in the Safari Zone, and at that time I didn't know what a shiny was, I just caught it because I thought it was a glitch or something. I recently lost my Fire Red version though. :(
 
I gotsed a legit blue pile of transforming goop! And I acknolegde your Starly, shiny raptor is pro!
