Shinies from Gold/ SIlver/ Crystal
The Gen 2 games were the first to feature shiny pokemon on screen, most likely as a way to feature the improved graphics of the Gameboy Colour. Players have a roughly 1 in 8000 chance to encounter a shiny, and so most are unlikely to come across one during a casual playthrough. However, that didn't stop people from trying.
Like me, for example. So far I've been hunting in Gen 2 for the Gamecorner Quest and the Bug Catching Contest Week, as linked below.
