My first shiny was Elekid in Crystal. I got it from the egg that the Day Care Couple gave me. At first I thought it was a glitch, but I think I hit my Crystal Version or something, because I started a new game, and in the Odd Egg, guess what! There was another Shiny Elekid! I consider that too much to be a coinsidence (sp?). My first Third Gen Shiny was a Wingull, but when I transferred it to Collosseum (sp?) the cable messed up at one point and dropped one variable: The Shiny Variable. My Pelliper (Yes, he evolved) had lost his shininess! And when I traded him back, Peliper still no shiny! Wah... But, I got a shiny Ditto in Pearl, and this time, there was no glitch behind him! :)
