Shiny Hunting

[dasn]

So I've been hunting shinies for the past week or so, ever since I missed a shiny Magikarp and told myself, Never Again. And I decided to fill up my whole inventory with shinies. But I'm having a bit of an issue with... You know... Finding them. What do you guys think are the best places to find shinies of Pikachu, Mankey, and Paras, since they appear in more than one area? I'm sure there are others like that, but those are three that I'm looking for now. Feel free to share any other shiny hunting tips you have, they're all greatly appreciated.

pikachu: vf2 (vf1 is worse)
mankey: route 3 (mm1 is worse)
paras: mm2 (vf2 is worse)

Also, I'd recommend playing levels where you don't have to defend any candy (like Route 3 or Viridian Forest 2). That way, you don't have to place any Pokemon and run the risk of accidently killing any Shinies you come across.
