Your first Shiny?

So, yes, I decided to start one of these things. Erm, so I guess what I'm asking is...

What was your first shiny pokemon ever? Not one you caught, one you saw. You probably did catch though, after all, it is a shiny.

My first was actually a shiny Vulpix in FireRed. I still have that Shiny Ninetales somewhere on my Diamond copy after I migrated it. I adored her, the coloring was so beautiful.

My first ever shiny was Budew in Platinum. I was never sure whether I wanted to evolve it into a Roserade or not...

My first one was from the GTS in Platinum, and it was a Pikachu. My first one I caught myself was a Woobat in White.

Mine was a shiny Psyduck in Firered. I wanted a Sandshrew :( But it was still cool!
Edit: Wait, I guess technically it would be the Shiny Gyrados in HG but thats part of the story so I don't count it.

The first one that I actually saw was a Teddiursa on my Pokemon Gold. It's been a long time since that happened, but I think I ended up getting a critical hit on it and causing it to faint.

My first shiny that I actually caught, though, was a Shroomish in Sapphire. And it's funny, because I don't even remember seeing it, but found it in my PC years later.

Mine was a Voltorb in Emerald. I never got the chance to catch it though; It used Selfdestruct.

A Shiny Pokémon I did catch though was a Golett.

Pidgey. Route 1. Leaf Green. I'm not even joking. Second Pokemon I encountered after getting the Poke Balls. Bam, shiny.

Also caught a Geodude in Crystal this month, so that would be two :)

First shiny would be the Red Gyrados in Pokemon Gold, but that's a common shiny, no big deal. So a real first legit shiny would be a Sentret which I caught in my Heart Gold game.

Well, my shiny pokemon story: Basically, I was in a cave, and found a shiny Zubat. BUT I was so nooby at Pokemon at that time that I thought that was the original and actual colour of a Zubat, and I never knew that shinies were this rare. So...... I ran away. :(

My first shiny was a Mightyena in Emerald! :) Which I transferred to my Pearl, then lost it forever after I deleted the save file, completely forgetting it was in there. :(

I miss that Mightyena. ;~;

My first shiny was a Seel in HeartGold. I don't remember how I noticed it because there is hardly any difference.
