I've played Pokemon intermittently over the years, and mostly the original games (Blue, Red, Yellow). Never got a shiny until this year, and my experience with Pokemon is now going on 21 years. I don't have an opinion on whether Pokemon Go's shiny catch rate is higher or not, but I can say that the game's enjoyable for a casual player like myself. I've caught nearly 1000 pokemon so far in the game, and only three of those are shinies (two ironically from Team Rocket encounters). To me, they're just another aspect of gameplay, and at least personally I don't see an issue with the rate.
