Pokémon Question

Have you ever found a Shiny Pokemon in the wild and if so, what was it?

Back when I was new to Pokemon, I was playing Ruby. I was right outside Lilycove City when a weird, green Pokemon battled me. It was a Gloom, but it got away. When I eventually found out the chances of finding another Shiny Pokemon were about 1 in 8,192, I got PRETTY angry. Had an experience like mine before?

I have caught arceus, psyduck, spinarak and muk ALL SHINY

Nope, I've never encountered one. A friend of mine uses cheats, and so I've seen the shiny version of a lot of them, but I don't have one, and I've never seen one.

Well, I when I was playing Ruby (which I still do), I got a shiny Metagross from Steven. I'm not sure what the chances of that are, since I didn't get it in the wild.

I always found them in emulator, like Zubat, Machop, Spoink, Wingull, Zigzagoon, and Ghastly. The most I encounter is Zubat. I'm rare to find them in the real consoles like GBA or NDS. But, after I patched my Soul Silver in NDS, I found a shiny-greeny Pidgey. Guess what? I found it when I hadn't obtained any Pokedex or Pokeball!! D:<
Now I'm afraid if I encounter shiny pokemon in safari zone D:

I found a Wingull in the sea that had green stripes on its wings instead of blue. And then there was a Poochyena that was light brown and brown with blue eyes instead of black and gray with red eyes. Now that was cool when it evolved into a Mightyena. But anyway....that's all I found. (that was in Emerald)

You'll know if it is a shiny pokemon if the pokemon is a diffrent color then the normal pokemon (ex. Normal gyarados is blue and a shiny gyarados is red.)
