    Ruby. I was grinding my Ralts in that cave in Dewford Town. Suddenly, after all those Zubat, a shiny Makuhita pops up! At that time, I didn't know how rare shinies were, so I didn't freak out as much as I should have. I caught it easily in a Great Ball.

    I am so annoyed... I was playing Crystal last night and ran into a SHINY DITTO! I couldn't believe it! My first ever shiny! The things that, due to the way shininess was determined back then, could spawn an army of shinies! Hands trembling, I slowly whittled its health down to the red zone, and put it to sleep. It should be easy to catch now, right? I threw a Pokeball. It broke out. Huh? Fine, the next one should catch it. It broke out. I threw two more. Neither worked. Fine then, I thought, I'll use my one Great Ball. It was so close too! Two more pokeballs, and I was out of them, and that Ditto just sat there, mocking me.

    I hate life.

    RBY: None, because they didn't exist
    GSC: Red Gyarados, or otherwise, I think a shiny Hoothoot.
    RSE: Shiny Electrike, under Cycling Road, Unfortunately, it was a toxic sapphire so, I couldn't Pal Park it.
    DPP: Virtual Gaming Thingy Milotic, otherwise a shiny gloom, which I regret evolving in to a Vileplume.

    Your first shiny pokemon
    That was my first. Then, on my Diamond, I find a shiny ponyta, and a couple weeks later, I find a shiny shellos... interesting.

    Mine was in Sapphire, I was training in Victory road and I had just finished battling Wally. I was leaving to go the pokemon center and BAM. Shiney Sableye. I was like, "OMGOMGOMG", Even though there was the Red Gyrados in GSC, I didn't know what shinies were...I thought it was just the Gyrados thing...and I was too young to learn about shinies or anything...heyshutup...D:
    Anyway, I spent forever trying to catch it, and I finally did. I was so happy...I named it "COOL!!!!!!". I still have that sableye. And I shall never trade it due to sentimental reasons. :3

    My first shiny was a shiny Whismur that came out of nowhere.. and by nowhere I mean I had no clue what shinies were and was, well, excited to see one because I thought it was more powerful than the normal one.


    So I caught it...

    In Gold about 8 years ago now, I found a Shiny Poliwag while fishing in Viridian Forest. That was my first Shiny, and I trained it all the way into a Poliwrath. X3

    Since then, I've found a Shiny Gloom in Emerald's Safari Zone (Was SERIOUSLY lucky to be able to catch it before it fled) and also in Emerald, I happened to come across a Shiny Zubat in Meteor Falls, and managed to catch that too. =)
