Anyone know how to attract an Abra in X or Y?

They're rare encounters in regular tall grass and purple flower patches on Route 5.

Will Sweet Scent draw them out?

I could be wrong, but sweet scent probably won't affect the frequency of an encounter. If Abra's rare, it will probably still be rare with sweet scent. All sweet scent does is attracts Hordes.
Your best bet is just to walk around in the grass and hope for the best. It will be frustrating (it took me two days to find a goddamn Minun) but worth it ^.^
Or you could wonder trade repeatedly for one =P

No, Sweet Scent is used to attract hordes. Abra isn't found in hordes, so regular walking'll do the trick.

Scratch that. I'm at 44 out of 150. This is eating up my work time. Lol. XD

Katie is pretty much in the same situation as I am:
I caught my very first shiny in Y. But now it is less of an achievement because catching shinys has been made easier...

270 hours and finding one is easy?!

Actually the shiny encounter is slightly easier now in x and y. With all the ways you can get a shiny, it's not surprising almost everyone has at least one.
I got 3 from friend safari in just one day. The fish chaining got me a shiny luvdisc and shiny clauncher. Then there's the pokeradar which I haven't tried doing yet. Then there are also horde shinies.
And still unsure if the rumor about tipping affects the shiny encounter rate.

I've found ... just four shinies in XY. One in the Friend Safari (a Butterfree), a Gulpin from a horde encounter, and a random Azurill. Oh, and when I hatched a bunch of Treecko, one of the girls (yes, a female!) came out shiny. I'm keeping her. The other three are long since traded off.

Hold on. If you traded 'em off, what did you get in exchange?

A Mega stone. The other two I just shipped out on Wonder Trade, so it doesn't count.

Storywise, Emerald is basically Ruby AND Sapphire at the same time. Gameplay wise, they beefed up the Gym Leaders to be an actual challenge compared to RS, and they rearranged a lot of Trainer positions on routes so that you can have double battles with two trainers at once (if they both spot you simultaneously).

Thinking about it now, I LOVED the battle frontier in Emerald. I loved most of the variations on gameplay - particularly the one where you let your Pokemon decide what moves to use and take the trainer right out of it. Frustrating sometimes, but very fun.
Kind of makes me want to play through again.
