    My First ever encounter of a shiny was in Ice Cave on Silver, just near the end of the cave, Shiny Delibird. But I had no Pokeballs D: So I ran from it (Not aware of how the shiny System works so many years ago) I ran to the mart and bought pokeballs, ran back and spent hours searching for my lost Shiny Delibird. >.<
    My second Shiny was on Pearl, I was training a Lavitar East (I think) of Jubilife and then Shiny Starly Appeared, Damn was I mad, I Hate Starly. >.< (I caught it anyway cause it sparkles xD)

    The very first wild Pokemon I saw in Fire Red was a shiny Rattata. That was the luckiest moment of my whole life!

    Ooops, I forgot:

    I found a Red Gyarados.

    Now you're probably thinking: "Huh, who hasn't got that.." but it wasn't in Gold, Silver or Crystal.

    It was in Sootopolis in Emerald. I was just fishing there at my friend's house and suddenly I run into a Red Gyarados and i'm like O_O OMG!

    I think I caught it. I don't know where it is now though.

    Oh, how fondly I remember this. XD

    I had played the Pokemon franchise for 10 years, and I had never seen a shiny. I wished that it would happen, but I just never saw it coming. I have just never dedicated that many hours to a Pokemon game.

    But one day, I just picked up a copy of LeafGreen and played. And I just felt like grinding, so I did.

    I caught each new Pokemon I saw, and basically decided to train them to their second evolution (or in some cases, final) just for hahas.

    Before defeating Brock, I was working on making my Charmeleon a Charizard and my Mankey a Primeape. I was really enjoying myself, just playing mindlessly late into the night. Then, sometime around midnight, I noticed something different.

    A red Metapod. I went berserk. I couldn't believe it! My first shiny! I went to my Pokeballs and caught it instantly, knowing I would probably never have a chance like this again.

    I named it Beloved and trained it to the fine level of 11. It evolved into a shiny Butterfree, and it resides in my Pokemon Ranch to this day. :3

    I think it was on my Ruby.I showed it to my 19 year old brother(This was last year),and he thought it wasn't Shiny,even though I knew he had played Pokemon for ages.Now I have a Shiny Tentacool somewhere,and the Shiny Latias I got from Zadow.
