Shinies from Heartgold/ Soulsilver/ Diamond/ Pearl/ Platinum
Gen 4 is a personal favourite of mine, and also beloved by other shiny hunters for introducing the Mesuda method (in which you get an increased chance of a shiny if you breed one pokemon with a complitable one from another language, apparently to encourage people to use the new GTS system) and Pokeradar chaining. A less succinct ramble may be found in the gen 4 shrine.
