What's the point in Shiny Pokemon?

[Solo Strike]

I never got it? Why do people like them so much?

Is it because they're rare?

How do you even find them?

Are they stronger than Non-Shiny Pokemon?

[BeyondBirthday01]

They are rare.
You enounter them randomly in the wild or you hatch them.
No, they are the same (except for the usual different stats for each individual Pokemon).

They are rare. Shiny it sparkles. Some people like the colors of certain shiny. Not anymore powerful than a non shiny unless its hacked.

Different ways to find them. Masuda Method, random luck, and trading.

I cannot justify everyone's reasoning, but I can justify my own.
Some shiny Pokemon are more aesthetically pleasing to look at than the original forms.
I personally like the way a shiny Ninetales looks when compared to a regular one.
Also, the idea of finding one is neat due to their rarity.
It gives one a lucky feeling,
