I just got into playing rom hacks and loaded up Pokemon Ultra Violet which is a romhack of firered.

When I was doing the initial quest for Oak, before getting pokeballs, I encountered a shiny pidgy. I was a bit bummed as it was my first ever shiny encounter and Ive been playing my whole life.

After giving him the parcel, I found another shiny pidgy on the same route.

I did not play gen 3 games much, so were shinies easy to find in this gen or did a i just get extremely lucky?

Shinies from gen6 onwards have odds halved from 1:8192 → 1:4096

However this dœsn't mean shinies suddenly trivial to find . Haven't recalled moments where found shinies unless actively lꚙKing for them till gen 9 where random encounters replaced with overworld

Also possible the ROM hack your playing might've increased odds but they've not advertised it
