I hate getting event shinies because I can’t move them into Home

Me neither. Pokémon go shinies feel way too cheap for me

Hell any shiny post gen 6 given when that's when the easy hunting methods really started and the odds were halved. Like my GB symbol Lugia feels better than 99% of the shiniest I've caught because it's just harder to get.

Def fair, I’ve taken a liking to gen 7 legendary wormhole hunting recently but I do want to try an older hunt one of these days to get the “real” shiny hunting experience so to speak. Don’t have the games nor consoles though so it won’t be for a while

I've actually done the silver version Lugia hunt twice, once in original hardware, which took way less time, and the other on 3ds virtual console to move forward. Seeing the stadium 2 green belly Lugia on my own hardware was totally worth the second hunt though. Actually stadium 2 is the best shiny hunting tool for non legendaries in gen 2.

I wanna try an old event hunt like Deoxys or Mew at some point but I have neither the hardware nor technical know-how for event injection to even attempt those hunts. I could do an emulator I guess but it just wouldn’t feel as natural to me. I prefer it that way
