A shiny Wurmple, that later evolved into Beautifly. Sadly I forgot I had it and stupidly deleted that game file. ;_;

My first shiny was a Geodude in Fire Red. It was completly useless in every single battle I sent it out though and I ended up erasing the save file afterwoods.

I've now got a shiny Celebi from one of my friends in Black 2, but that's hacked. :Y

Red Metapod, Crystal Version on my way to see Mr. Pokemon. No poke'balls. It was horrible. I ran away because I couldn't bring myself to attack it. Wierdest thing though, I found four shinies in the space of two days in HeartGold.

Shiny Poochyena in Emerald, I believe. But that wasn't even when I was little, it was when I was replaying it a while ago. I think I also caught a Shiny Raticate on Leafgreen, but that also might have been my sister, can't remember.

One day, long ago, a small child began his Pokemon journey on Red Version...

Flash forward to the present, where he finally encounters his first shiny- a mighty... Basculin?

-_-

At least he's adamant?

First shiny I've ever gotten was... Shellos (West Sea)
I was looking around for mersprit in my diamond version...
then shellos appeared and it sparkled.
I didn't really know that it was a shiny that time because I didn't know they would sparkle and the shiny sprite of a west sea shellos, there was barely any difference in the colour scheme so... yep.
ALMOST RAN AWAY 8'D

Excluding Red Gyarados, I actually did meet a shiny Horsea and after a few steps a shiny Munchlax in Ruby Destiny: RoL (made by destinedjagold of course). Then there was a shiny Drowzee I killed in a randomized Emerald (don't ask), and to finish this off, I have a shiny Ferrothorn on my White version that I hatched, not caught.

Well, I guess I can't catch a shiny unless it's not in a clean game.

I used to have a shiny Chikorita before I restarted my game with the intention of getting another one later. Almost two years have passed and I still don't have one.

Way back when... I encountered a purple Drowzee on route 24, whilst leveling my Poke's on the first play through of Silver Version. How cool was that! I was like, that Drowzee is purple wtf... go Poke-Ball! Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

I didn't catch another until Diamond version. I some how caught a green Machoke on Victory Road, level 45 with only 1 pokeball left. Winning!

My first shiny? Hmm... I think it was a Voltorb in Gen 2.

Might have had one prior to that, though I can't recall.

I haven't caught one but I remember it like it was yesterday. I was maybe 8? I had Ruby, my first Pokemon game though, I liked it from the beginning. I was coming back to the lab after beating May and on Route 1... shiny Poochyena. of course at this point you couldn't get pokeballs sooo... you know. I almost died that day. It may have been my first game but I still knew a lot about Pokemon.

First one seen was an Absol on my SS. I don't know how I ran out of all of those 100 or so ultra balls... The first one I caught was actually a Skitty on Emerald. It was my favourite pokemon ever, but I lost my GBA with pokemon emerald in it... Now I play on emulators :t300: I will miss my Skitty...
