So, yes, I decided to start one of these things. Erm, so I guess what I'm asking is...

What was your first shiny pokemon ever? Not one you caught, one you saw. You probably did catch though, after all, it is a shiny.

My first was actually a shiny Vulpix in FireRed. I still have that Shiny Ninetales somewhere on my Diamond copy after I migrated it. I adored her, the coloring was so beautiful.

My first ever shiny was Budew in Platinum. I was never sure whether I wanted to evolve it into a Roserade or not...

My first one was from the GTS in Platinum, and it was a Pikachu. My first one I caught myself was a Woobat in White.

Mine was a shiny Psyduck in Firered. I wanted a Sandshrew :( But it was still cool!
Edit: Wait, I guess technically it would be the Shiny Gyrados in HG but thats part of the story so I don't count it.
I like Sandshrews. A lot. I am Sandshrews number 1 fan. And don't you deny it.

The first one that I actually saw was a Teddiursa on my Pokemon Gold. It's been a long time since that happened, but I think I ended up getting a critical hit on it and causing it to faint.

My first shiny that I actually caught, though, was a Shroomish in Sapphire. And it's funny, because I don't even remember seeing it, but found it in my PC years later.

Pidgey. Route 1. Leaf Green. I'm not even joking. Second Pokemon I encountered after getting the Poke Balls. Bam, shiny.

Also caught a Geodude in Crystal this month, so that would be two :)
This'll do for now.

A female Duskull back in Pokemon Ruby, I didn't even know she was Shiny until I caught her.

Well, my shiny pokemon story: Basically, I was in a cave, and found a shiny Zubat. BUT I was so nooby at Pokemon at that time that I thought that was the original and actual colour of a Zubat, and I never knew that shinies were this rare. So...... I ran away. :(

Hmm, ^ I tried to get Garchomp, but I don't think it's there.

My first shiny was a Seel in HeartGold. I don't remember how I noticed it because there is hardly any difference.

My first shiny was a Psyduck! I caught it because it was blue, not because it was shiny. I then started a new game (I had no interest in shines long time ago). When I found out I had a SHINY Psyduck, I gave myself a huge facepalm. ><

First shiny I ever SAW was a Skorupi. Badass coloring. Unfortunately, it was in the Marsh Zone in Pt... If only I had thrown a Pokeball instead of some mud *sigh* BUT! I have redeemed myself, and my first shiny caught was a Gligar in one of B2's Hidden Grotto's. Got a shiny Espeon through GTS, though I don't really count that one.
