I haven't played Pokémon in a long time, the last I played was Sapphire. I used to be really into it though and I would like to get into it again.
Back when I played Pokémon Silver and Crystal (though I can't remember which one it was on since they're basically the same for this area), I found a shiny Magikarp in the area where you get the Red Gyarados. Of all the shinies to get, I got a gold Magikarp.

er..... it wasnt accidentally murdered if thats what you think happened....... (nervous laugh)
are you sure it wasn't a ditto that transformed into a shiny
I never really actively look for Shiny pokemon. But I Have ran into a a few. A shiny Yanma in Fire Red, which I caught. And a Shiny Krickatune in Diamond or Pearl (Can't remember which cause I have both) which I also caught. Nintendo recently gave out a Shiny Raquaza, so that was cool, And my friend traded me a shiny Raiku once. That was nice of him lol.
I ran into random shiny Pokemon 7 times.
1. Ponyta in Soul Silver. 2. The next day I found Teddiursa in the same game! 3. Woobat in Black 4. Sandshrew at the Safari Zone in Heart Gold (almost gave me a heart attack cause I thought she was gonna flee) 5. Pilipper in Ruby 6. Diglett in Fire Red and 7. Ditto in Fire Red.
Then the rest of my shinies I hunted them. Currently I'm hunting Slugma.

This thread really makes me want to get back into Pokémon! I've skipped a few generations though... Does that matter or would I still pick it up?
If I would make a recommendation, it would be to pick up the remakes of Sapphire/Ruby. Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby for 3DS. Since they are full 3D remakes of the best generation with lots of new content!
Is it enough new content to make it worth buying, though? I was tempted to try and get Platinum or Black/White somewhere actually.

My first Pokémon game was Diamond. I wanted to have Mightyena, but I didn't know that they only showed up after beating the champion. So I searched and searched... and found a shiny Ponyta 
In Sapphire I caught a shiny Sudowoodo... I think.
Tried chaining for Shinys in Diamond, but it didn't work.

Chaining is REALLY hard to do...That's how I got the Krickitune...My first Pokémon game was Diamond. I wanted to have Mightyena, but I didn't know that they only showed up after beating the champion. So I searched and searched... and found a shiny Ponyta
