I got my first shiny pokemon in GSC a few days ago, it was an Elekid. I got her from the egg the daycare man gives you.

Silver was the only game I caught a wild shiny in and kept. It was a Weedle I found in the Bug Park. I had some idea of what a shiny Pokemon was, because this was back before I was always online, so I did catch it. Now it's tucked away on my Pokemon Stadium 2 cart, which is in an unknown location. So maybe I don't have that Weedle anymore!

Haven't seen a wild Shiny yet. So far I only got a Shiny Gyarados which we all knew in Pokemon Gold and a Shiny Pikachu which is an in-game trade in a hack of Pokemon Gold which is Pokemon Christmas 2014.

My one and only shiny was a Tentacool, now how cool is that. G/S

In my very first Silver save, I encountered a shiny Totodile. I assumed it was a glitch, and since I was trying to collect all of the starters anyway, I threw it onto Pokemon Stadium 2 and restarted the game. I only found out what it was some time later, and was pretty amazed.

I went on to find a shiny Weepinbel while playing my cousin's game (which I cloned for myself), and then a shiny Geodude in Crystal. I played many hours of gen 2, but it was still really good luck!

Have you ever saw those pokemon that come in a different color than normal that's introduced with a 'sparkle'? Those are shiny pokemon! "Shiny pokemon" have been pretty much introduced to the Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal games. These are pokemon that come in alternative colors than their original.

For example...

Normally, Charizard comes in a red-orangy color. But, as a shiny pokemon...

They become dark, red/purplely color. But do note that these sort of pokemon are very rare to find, as they have a really low encounter rate. Nonetheless, have you ever encountered a "Shiny Pokemon" before (other than the red gyarados)? Have you caught any of these Shiny pokemon? What do you think of this aspect as a whole? Feel free to discuss!

Yep, a shiny Zubat in the Burned Tower in Eutreak (Hope I spelled that right) City, I named it Silver, because I thought it was a good name. :P (Yes I did catch it)
