Pokémon Very First Shiny Pokemon Stories!

Any idea what Pokemon it was? (If you remember that is). Cause for me in Emerald it was a Zubat and just like you I was so confused on why he was green lol.
My first non-gyarados shiny was a polywag, it was initially cool but the thrill wore off rather quickly due to how boring a slightly lighter blue is compared to other shiny pokemon. The first shiny I had that I actually liked enough to use was a female zubat I named Mya but when I evolved her I was massively disappointed to find that shiny crobats are pink, I wound up giving Mya to my sister so it wasn't a total waste but I if I knew ahead of time I would have kept her as a zubat.

My first shiny was an Eevee. I remember staying up until 3am in the morning trying to get it in X. I spent like... over 13 hours trying to chain one I think? I was so overjoyed when I finally got it, but at first I thought I was just hallucinating since I was up really late trying to get a shiny omg.
But yeah, now I have two, the first one I didn't evolve, and the second one is a shiny Jolteon! uvu I named the Eevee Prince. I've never been lucky enough to encounter a random shiny tho o:

The very first shiny I got was the Pokeball Vivillon, but of course I downloaded that so I don't really count it.
My very first shiny I actually saw and caught was in OR, a Voltorb. I was grinding to evolve Magneton into Magnezone in New Mauville, the last thing on my mind being shinies. I was wandering around waiting to be attacked and most of the time just going "A A A A A A" to just get the fights over quickly, fortunately though I glanced down at my screen as I thought I'd heard the "sparkling" sound twice instead of once(Shiny Metagross see), and sure enough it turned out to be a shiny blue Voltorb. I was nervous the whole time as I thought it might use self-destruct just to slap me in the face, but fortunately it didn't, and after Metagross using Hold Back and a single Ultra Ball it was caught. It's now a level 40(I think) Electrode.
I did play about 1250 hours combined on Leaf Green and Ruby, but I wasn't lucky enough to ever encounter a shiny on either of them. Either that or because I was ignorant of their existence I just defeated anything I found even if it did look unusual.

My first shiny was a Geodude near the start of Gold or Silver back when they first released. I was like an hour into the game at the most and I didn't know why it was 'different'. I didn't have any Pokeballs either so I just killed it and got on with the game.
It was a while till I figured out what it was (like, a few years). Obviously the shiny Gyrados is in the game as well but I didn't link the two together because I thought the Gyrados was 'special'. It was only when the internet got more popular that I found shiny's were a 'thing'.
I've never seen another Shiny in the wild (that isn't supposed to be shiny).

I was playing Pokemon FireRed and wasn't really paying attention, I was trying to train my Charmeleon when I realized that the Pidgey that appeared had sparkles. I almost made it faint but luckily I caught it.

I believe the first shiny I saw was in Silver. I remember surfing on the route going to Fuchsia City and a shiny tentacool showed up. I had no idea that shiny pokemon were rare, so I sort of killed it.
Absolutely horrible feeling when I eventually learned about my mistake.
My first 'caught' shiny was in Ruby and it was a wurmple.

I never once found a shiny in Gold/Silver/Crystal and was so upset about it because I had a friend that had a shiny Steelix.
Then Ruby and Sapphire came out and I went and got Sapphire, turned it on in the car on the way home and right after I was able to get pokeballs I ran into a shiny Zigzagoon and caught it.
But more recently shiny pokemon are a little easier to come by. I think I have like six or seven shiny slowpokes in X that I haven't traded over to AS yet. And I have a shiny Slowking that I keep in my Soul Silver game. He'll be there until they make another walking pokemon game. =[

Heres my story:
I was playing my Pokemon X, and I was chaining for a shiny Pancham. My chain broke, so I started it again.
I stepped into a normal patch of grass to find a shiny doduo! ^ ^
Yeah, I screamed. Alot. My bro screamed.
I think I might of broke everyones eardrums
I caught it and traded it for a shiny Eevee which is now a wonderful shiny Sylveon on my Alpha Sapphire.

I've been playing Pokemon since I was a little kid and I NEVER found a wild shiny until about a year ago.
My boyfriend and I were sitting next to each other, both playing Pokemon X, and he was breeding trying to get a shiny Skarmory (not having any luck, I should add). I had been in the middle of my 2nd play through of X while I was trying to avoid tall grass and just progress the story. I accidentally walked into some tall grass, just once, and was attacked by a shiny oddish! I was just trying to play the game and this shiny came out of nowhere! My boyfriend had been trying to hatch one for days.
I still rub it in his face that I found that shiny oddish and he never hatched a shiny.
