My first ever shiny was a Metapod in Pokemon Gold's Ilex Forest. I evolved it into the Pink Butterfree, and I liked how it reminded me of the one from the anime.

A funny story, the next shiny was an Unown in the same game. I was riding in a car, and I actually ran from it, not knowing that it's color was different (they look sorta similar), and I was looking in another direction while I encountered it. The next second, I realized that the Unown was slightly blue. But it was too late. FML. >.>

The very first shiny I had encountered was a shiny Rufflet. It was majestic, it was beautiful. I WANTED TO CATCH IT SO BAD. But it was hard to catch and I ran out of balls. I was DISAPPOINTED. It took me weeks to find it again but I never found it. I was sad. :(

My first official shiny, however, was a shiny Treecko. Received it via trade and it's now a shiny Sceptile. :)

My first shiny I saw was a shiny Spinarak in Crystal, at the time I didn't know because I had played silver and Spinaraks sprites look like shiny Spinarak so yeah.
The only shiny I have gotten was an Electrike I got after I beat the game, I decided to make eggs of my team and raise them. I grabbed two eggs of my Manrtric.
The first one hatched and was the shiny, the other wasn't but because they were brothers I kept both and transferred them both to pearl then Soul Silver.

My first shiny was Rayquaza in Ruby.

I was trying to catch it, but kept fainting it/it kept using struggle. I guess it's an accidental SR.

Geodude in Crystal.
I didn't even realise it was shiny until a few months after I caught it when I searched what the star on it's info page meant.

My first shiny was a Zubat in FireRed at Mount Moon. But I was playing on VBA, means with the speed button I was running from wild battles and I dindnt noticed it.
My next shiny that was Rattata was also in FireRed. But this time I just started the game and was training my Charmander. I couldnt capture it because I had no pokeballs.
My first shiny that I caught was in Heartgold. It was a Shiny Bellsprout on the route east of Mahagony where the entrance to Ice Cave is situated.

I got a shiny Lotad when I "borrowed" my brothers Sapphire game. This is the first one I caught: The green Bronzor and the pink Sealeo on his Pearl game got ko'd on accident. I still seem to have pretty good luck with shinies, though.

My first shiny I ever encountered was the Red Gyarados in GSC, like it has been with many :p Other than that, I've only ever encountered two shinies. The first one was a shiny Sneasel in one of my friends' games, and I'd say, he was extremely happy with this, though a shame I wasn't the one who got it >:( The third and most recent one was a shiny Dratini in the Safari Zone, and I guess people should know how that turned out... :(

Not including Shiny Gyarados my very first shiny was a Shiny Donphan on Silver. It's long gone now but I'll never forget it.
