Hey sup guys , I'm new to the forum. 
I'm a long time fan of Pokemon , back in the day i used to have a Gameboy color and i finished the first 3 generation pokemon games , before i decided they were adding to many pokemons and i gave up for a while. 
Now i'm back again and i just discovery this gem , my god , all pokemon games in one , best pokemon game ever , old school graphics with all the content. 
Congratulation to the devs and the community. 
Sorry for my intro and for the question. 
From all the time i played pokemon games i just encountered 1 shiny and it was on Pokemon Yellow , a Tauros at Safari zone. (and i couldn't catch it) , to be fair back in the day i tought the game had glitched or something. 
But now i see people hunting , like hours trying to find a shiny , and i don't know why. 
Is there any difference at all between normal pokemon and their shiny aside from the color ? 
Thanks in advance guys.
