    Have you ever gotten a Shiny Pokémon starter in your Pokémon games? Not via trade, btw. Just selecting normally!

    I have maybe once when I played Emerald. I got a Torchic randomly. But, I didn't save the game because I remember I had a really good team on my current Emerald. To this day, I really regret this! This was my first shiny starter Pokémon, and I was a silly kid. I mean, I had sentimental value because I had a Sceptile I loved, but still. I'm sure I'd have made many shiny hunters mad if they heard this. (Please don't be mad at me, shiny hunters.)

    Surprisingly, I have not. I say surprisingly because I have played through so many Pokemon games so many times. Figured I would have gotten one by now! Might reset for a shiny Torchic in Emerald though.
     
    I could've sworn I had one shiny starter at some point, but maybe that's just false memory. I certainly would've recalled such a thing, so I'm going to go with no.

    Would be interesting to see how long it would take via soft-resetting before I got one, though!
     
    i've never gotten a shiny starter on my own unfortunately. i've hatched an egg maybe or gotten some through trades? but i've never gotten one just on my own. i tried sring for a treecko once but ultimately gave up.
     
    By chance no. Well I've never intentionally restarted my game 1000s times until I've gotten one either. If it ever happened one time I would absolutely lose it and obviously make them my star player during my play through.
     
    I did and I still am playing the game. I decided to mess around and soft reset a little bit as a joke for ORAS and who would've known, A shiny Mudkip appears. I screamed because honestly I never even expected it. Now I have my shiny badge quest.
     
    never starting a new game and picking it as the shiny
    I have gotten a shiny Fennekin via breeding for a team
     
    Ain't no way my unlucky butt is ever going find a shiny starter lmao.
     
    by first pick, no. but i have hunted for a shiny chimchar via soft resets back when I replayed platinum last year. and I was actually successful. got it in less than 300 soft resets - I was lucky as hell o.o
