The only shiny I've ever seen in the wild, non gifted and non Red Gyrados was a Shiny Rhyhorn I found in Fire Red... in the safari zone D:

... and yes, I was lucky enough to catch it. It's got a neutral nature, but I consider that better than having one that isn't suited for it.. like one that lowers defense or something. I don't ever plan on using it, evolving it or anything of that sort, but its going in the Pokebank whenever it gets opened up.

Despite how many hours I've poured into Pokemon in my life time I have never had the chance to catch a shiny(aside from Red Gyarados but that hardly counts.) I want a Shiny Ninetales so badly, but alas I'm probably destined to never get one =P.

My very first, legit, shiny I found was a shiny Mightyena in Pokémon Emerald! I had just beaten the Pokémon League for the 12th time; I was bored so I flew to Lilycove and when to the first patch of grass to the left. That's where I found it. Eventually I traded it to Pearl version; however I forgot about it and was bored of the file I had on Pearl and restarted it. That's how I accidentally erased my first shiny. :(

My first shiny Pokemon that I actually captured that was not a shiny Gyarados was a Gastly in Pokemon Silver. The first shiny I've ever seen was a shiny Geodude in Pokemon Gold and it used self destruct, but I did not understand the concept of shiny Pokemon because I was a little kid at the time.

My first shiny.. I remember it like it was yesterday. Okay it happen on March 29th, 2001. I was playing Pokemon Silver and I ran into a Shiny Houndour. I showed my brother and he lost it! I found out that it was a shiny. That Houndour later evolved into Houndoom and well my username came from that Pokemon. Later I found a few more.

I had a random encounter with a shiny Kriketune in Pearl. Since I was 8, I didn't understand the concept of shinies and how rare they are and eventually deleted my save file.

The only other shinies I've received are ones that are practically handed to you. Red Gyardos, shiny Dratini (I have White 2), and shiny Haxorus. And the event shiny Dialga, Palkia and Giratina.

My first shiny was Clyde the shiny Gligar in Pokemon Gold, who I found completely by accident. Later, I uses Pokegen to put him and a couple other Pokemon from Gold on my Pearl Version. That way, even if the battery ran out on Gold, I'd still have Clyde.

I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." -Mewtwo

Tch, never. In all of my years of playing, I have never found a shiny. Oh, woe betide...

My first shiny was a red-striped Basculin back in Black 2. I was EV training some of my Pokemon when it popped up in front of me. Shortly after I caught it, I nicknamed it "Initia" (deprived from Initial) as a commemoration of my first shiny.

My first legit shiny was a Lilpup (SP?) in Black or Black 2. I literally spazzed out when I caught it because it was my first shiny I had ever seen without hacks. XD However, after that, I never encountered anymore, sadly. :[

The first and only shiny I caught myself was a shiny Lotad in Sapphire. It's still on my game, actually. I need to move it off, but I fear I have nicknamed it so I want to restore it to normal.

My first shiny was either a Noctowl or a Flaaffy in Gold or Silver. I found them both on the same route, the one below the lake with Red Gyarados, but at different times and maybe even different games (I had Gold, Silver and Crystal so I don't remember which game it was). I was particularly proud of the Noctowl because Ash also had a shiny Noctowl in the anime. Lol.

I never actually used either of them though, and they passed away a few years ago when the batteries of my Gold cartridge died... Sad times. So many treasured memories on that save file, and now they are just... memories. :( More than 300 hours of playtime... I get sad whenever I think about it, lol.

My first shiny ever was a zubat, my brother thought I was crazy and it was normal color. I showed him. First Crobat I trained just because it was shiny, I don't recall what game it was in. I around the same time hatched a shiny magby without realizing it.
