Isn't it special when you for the first time catches a shiny (exept Gyarados)?. I want you to tell how when and how it felt when you first catched one. For my self so did I encounted my first shiny EVER just a few minutes ago (And yes, I have played pokemon since 2000). I was just going over to the burned tower to catch a Magmar for my pokedex entries and who is the first pokemon I encounter down the ladder? It's a shiny Magmar :D I had my strong team so I would had to be careful but with a paralyzing move and some Ultra balls so did I finally catched it, my first shiny :D

I remember on my first playthrough of Pokemon FireRed I was training my Eevee because at the time I didn't have any way to send it to Emerald to make it become an Espeon, anyway I was surfing around on small area of land above Six Island in a small body of water and a Shiny Tentacruel appeared I can't describe how excited I was when that happened.

I remember that my shiny was a shiny Ratatta in HG/SS on my way up to catch Ho-oh. I didn't try to weaken it as my Pokemon were about 30 levels above his, so I just threw an Ultra Ball at it and it was caught.
I felt pretty excited then since I've been playing since LeafGreen and never encountered any before

Well... it's hard to remember I think it was in FR/LG at route (7?) the one with Jigglypuff near Mt. Moon.
The colour looks like a regular J-Puff colour so it was confusing luckily for me, good ol' Bulbasaur paralyzed it.

My first shiny was my Poochyena on Ruby, when I was heading back down to Littleroot to get an amulet coin after defeating my mum, which brought back memories when I used to read Pokemon X before the guy stopped updating.

My first shiny was a Rhyhorn in LeafGreen. Not only was that in itself cool, but the fact that I caught it in the Safari Zone (which, as you know, is a lot harder than catching Pokemon anywhere else) made it all that much better.

FYI, that is still the only shiny that I've caught, to this very day.

I caught a shiny Noctowl in Crystal. I remember I was hunting for a legendary and thought that I found one, since the music was different, but it turned out to be a different coloured Noctowl.

My first ever event pokemon. I screamed like a little girl when I went on the Mystery Gift and actually got results.
OH MY GAWD *HYPERVENTILATION*
pretty much explains how I felt. I know a bunch of people that have better Events than me like the Lv. 100 Arceus or Celebi etc.
but it's still my first event and it has a special place in my heart.

Sorry, I've never seen a shiny Pokemon (except for Gyarados, of course) and never caught one. My congrats to those who have.

I wasn't too phased when I caught my first shiny, it was a Geodude, I'm not too fond of that Pokémon. It had a useless nature anyway so I traded it. I've hatched and caught quite a few shiny Pokémon since then.

Lol, of course Gyarados, but other than that, I caught a Venonat first in LeafGreen.

My first ever shiny was a Diglett I came across in Diglett cave. At the time, it was my first Pokemon game and I had no clue what a shiny was, so I just thought it was a boy Diglett since it had a blue nose. Needless to say I KO'd it.

My second shiny was a Nidoran in the Safari zone. I went to click ball, but instead I clicked run away -___-

Ah wow that sucks :|
I also found a few shinies like electrike, pidgies, zubat, etc. I caught a few of them but got unlucky on some like electrike.

I feel like most of the shiny encounters are with Pokemon that people don't even care about, or even like. Like the Geodude lol.

My first shiny ever was a shiny Marill in Emerald. He evolved to Azumarill and is now being taken care of on my sister's Diamond game.
