Haha. Ratata's are useless though. But there's only one starting rodent that can be for good use, if it has the hidden ability.

umm xcuse me dont underestimate ratatta it is the second best pokemon in the game under bidoof




also my first shiny was geodude in crystal
 
Mine was Bellsprout in 4th gen, I remember it to this day. My reaction was basically 'omg shiny!!! but why does it have to be bellsprout of all pokemon', in a nutshell.
 
I caught a shiny zubat in pearl. But I didn't know it was shiny and I thought it was ugly so I got rid of it ;P
 
I caught a Piloswine in post-game BW. Luckily, I instantly knew what it was.
 
A Rattata in Crystal... I was so extremely excited when I found him xD I spammed pokeballs without attacking because I didn't want to accidentally killed him. Lucky I hoarded pokeballs like no tomorrow!
 
My first shiny was Wingull in Pokemon Ruby but I've never heard of shinies at the time (since Ruby was my very first Pokemon game I played) so I defeated it as usual. I didn't take notice of the green stripes on it's wings at the time x'D
 
My first Shiny Pokemon was a Rattata in Heart Gold, right outside the Daycare. I caught it, and gave it the stupidest name in the world (I named it "FirstShiny" [no space in between the two words, either]). I still have it, too, since I transferred it to Alpha Sapphire.

Haha, I feel like I'm the only one to never get a Rattata lol.

I do wish I would have caught a shiny Umbreon in Crystal, though. One of my fav sprites.
 
My sister found a Shiny Diglett one night years ago in FireRed and I just happened to pass by when she was about to kill it. I told her to catch it.
 
My first ever shiny pokemon was a shiny Wobbufet in Pokemon Y. I was looking through the friend safari, and I caught it. I almost killed it, but luckily I caught it on the 5/5 of my PokeBalls lol. I squealed so loud I woke up my dad.
 
I think mine was a shiny growlithe that I found in X & Y through the friend safari.
 
My first legit shiny was a Purugly in Pearl. I was grinding on rt 221 & almost missed the sparkle it gave off. It's still sitting in Pearl, I've never used it for anything.
 
I got my first shiny from a trade with someone, and it was actually legit. :) I think it was in platinum. :)

My first shiny that wasn't actually caught by me, was a legit shiny Keldeo that I got in trade from Pokefarm (an old forum I used to go on)
