It was a tentacool in soul silver I found it while surfing to the pokemon league.
 
Mine was a shiny Abra that I bred at the Daycare on Route 7. I had the Shiny Charm, so I was working hard at breeding shinies.

His name is Bubba and I transferred him into AS. He is an Alakazam now :)

My first ever shiny was a Bronzong in Mt. Coronet on Pokemon Pearl version. Unfortunately, I don't have it anymore - though I'll probably end up revisiting Pokemon Pearl one day to try reclaiming it.
 
I got a shiny Lucario in the Pokemon XY Wonder Trade just a few days ago, that was my first shiny! (Pokemon X is my first real Pokemon game if you don't count Mystery Dungeon and that battle game that I forget the name of, I mainly grew up watching the anime instead of playing the games)
 
My first shiny was in gen 4 and it was a shiny Buizel. Unfortunately, that shiny Buizel is stuck in Pokemon Ranch now. But I get to play with him now and then.
 
My first shiny was a Scyther in Platinum. Thank goodness for the sparkles because otherwise I would have never noticed, haha. Over the years I've also found a Buizel, Gastly, and Bellsprout. The Buizel and Gastly were on Platinum as well and I'd totally forgotten about them so they all went to the void when I restarted. The Bellsprout was on X so I wondertraded it before restarting. I think there was something else too but I can't remember.

The first time I SAW a shiny was back in 2000. My friend got a shiny Nidoran in Gold but since we didn't know what shinies were or how they worked I trawled the patch of grass where she found hers for HOURS and was really frustrated that I couldn't find one too. :p
 
My first shiny was the event Gen 4 legendary Pokemon (Giritina, Dialga, and Palkia). My first non-event, non-traded shiny was a shiny Throh in Gen 6.
 
Mine was a shiny Espurr I found randomly on Route 6 (?) during the early days of playing Y. I was so shocked and I'm pretty sure I stopped breathing for a few seconds! :p I had evolved it into Meowstic but I traded it...kinda regret it now...:(

If I caught a shiny Espurr I don't think I'd evolve it; I hate that shiny Meowstics are urine-yellow. :(
 
My first shiny pokemon was is from gen VI and I've been playing pokemon for 10 years
 
aw hun c'mere and let me give you a hug :-(
it only happens to the best of us

Blue Rose is right. I've been playing Pok?mon at a very young age and it was not until I played for... um... I believe by the time Diamond and Pearl was out, I was playing Pok?mon for 11 years? I may be wrong. But the point is, Blue is right. This happen to the best of all of us.

But you know what? Kudos! At least you got a shiny now, chaicow! :D
 
Shiny 2nd evolution of geodude to lazy to look it up and dont remember it self destructed It's self
 
I was replaying emerald on an emulator a year and a half or so ago when I bumped into a shiny koffing at like 2 in he morning which made me so happy as I'd never seen one before - I kept it on my team but refused to evolve it as I don't like Weezing's gen III Sprite :)

I've never encountered a shiny pokemon. Sometimes I think they don't really exist. Like i'ts a big hoax that everyone except me is in on.
 
Le me playing X and Y, decided to try to hunt a shiny pokemon. I was up all night chain fishing on Friday until I fell asleep with my face on my 3DS (I drooled a bit too... oops.) Miraculously the battery wasn't dead so when I woke up at 6:00 AM for no reason (I can hardly get out of bad at noon lmao) I kept going. I found a shiny Dragalge and I was so stunned I fell off of the couch I was sleeping on.
 
The Gen 3 pelican whose name I can't remember...
