In which game did you get your first shiny Pokémon?

Silver (GBC)

Excluding defaults, the first Shiny I found was a Golbat in Johto's Ice Path.

Excluding the red Gyarados and special event shinies like Giratina in Black 2 my first shiny, one I found myself in the wild, was a Pawniard in Y.

It was after I completed the game in Mar 2016. The only reason I knew it was shiny, as I didn't see the sparkle or hear the ding, was that I encountered some red ones right before it. I probably would have ran had it been a first encounter since I wasn't hugely familiar with gen 4 or 5 Pokemon.

I wanna say a shiny Onix in Silver, but it was so long ago that I'm probably not remembering correctly. Aside from that, I encountered (and caught) a shiny Clefairy in Platinum, which was pretty awesome.

Ruby version, shiny Linoone which I promptly fainted with my overleveled starter because somehow I got the impression that shiny Pokemon were stronger than regular Pokemon and that it would live. @__@
 
Mine was a shiny male Nidoran in Silver version

Randomly found it in the grass next to that bug catcher that would call you about yanma swarms

Miss that lil guy
 
Gold or Silver. It was either Noctowl or Flaaffy. Both in the same route near the Lake of Rage, though I'm unsure of it being in the same run.
 
If we ignore the free one in Gold/Silver, it was a shiny Swinub in Platinum. I was so excited I used my Master Ball on it.
 
i was playing ruby and caught the green eared whismur bc i thought he was sick and that it was my duty to help him feel better and get his orange ears back
