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

I've never got a shiny rattata either, and I would love to get one with 5 perfect IVs.. I would raise the ultimate rat. Youngest Joey would be proud of me and my rat.

That would be awesome indeed with those moves :p
 
A cute,little Spheal in Sapphire.
He is yet a Spheal hahah.Is too cute to evolve in Walrein for me
And..a pink Walrein?
 
I did it! Today is the day that I finally obtained my first shiny!

I've had shiny Pokemon before but they were either hacked or given through gifts/Wonder Trade. But today, I finally caught my own! Not even using the Masuda Method. I was in jagged path trying to grab all of the items I missed through my first playthrough. Then I got into a random battle. Of course, I was annoyed because who isn't when they get into a wild Pokemon battle? xD Then I saw it was a Numel which I already caught. It then sparkled and my eyes widened. It was gray at the top instead of green. OH MY GOD. NO WAY. A SHINY!!!!!

I was so scared of killing it since my Pokemon were 30 levels higher than it so I threw an ultra ball asap and it caught first shot! ^_____________________^
 
Rattata in Crystal version (this is not counting red gyarados ofc)
 
lol, my first shiny was a wonder trade ;-;
Probably doesn't count but whatever :C
I got a green Plusle ( or minun, I don't remember ;-; ) while I was spamming Wonder trade, and the little guy shows up, I thought nothing of it until I realized he was a shiny. I have him in my ORAS now <3
 
mine was a shiny bronzor in platinum... I remember freaking out and talking myself through everything so I didn't kill it, and I made sure to use it throughout the game despite not having the ability I wanted lol
 
I found a shiny Roselia in the Trophy Garden in Platinum, but I killed it. I did the Masuda method for a couple weeks so I could hatch another one. :')
 
My first shiny was a male shiny Mareep!!! <3 I named him Hitsuji (Japanese for "sheep"). I had been looking for one for awhile because I REALLY wanted a shiny mega Ampharos because that's my favorite shiny Mega, and I was so happy and excited when I found him in a herd <3

But I traded him. ._. I miss him, though, so I've been looking for another. Not recently, though. ^^;
 
even if no one has posted in this for 4 days

first ever was in ruby when i was training my chansey to get its friendship up before school and i ran into a shiny pelipper
this thing became my bae for like the next year
i then accidentally deleted it using the cloning glitch in emerald *thumbs up*

the second ever was a mr. mime in the safari zone in HG that ran away from me on my first rock throw
 
I literally just encountered my first ever shiny pokemon by walking today and I was so shocked, surprised and happy that I dropped my DS. Since we all know that the pokemon platinum games are delicate as **** and even if you nudge it 1mm whilst it's in ur game it'll freeze

it was a geodude and it was before the 1st gym

- - - Post Merge - - -

and its gone.....
 
I remember, gen 4 a lvl 40-something Floatzle. Pok?mon Pearl. I was just looking for pokes to battle :). And this lighter-colored, sparkling Floatzle appeared! I caught him, I'm not a cold-blooded shiny killer. lol.
 
My first shiny was a Teddiursa in Pokemon Diamond; and I think my second shiny happened when I was breeding in Pokemon Y; I got a shiny Porygon .:].
 
Gen 3, it was a Wurmple, found it behind the flower shop near Petalburg Woods, was sooo long ago but I still remember, also I didn't realize it was shiny because I didn't know what that was, until it evolved into a Beautifly and shined so I must've asked a friend or something.
 
Is there an option for never? I've played Pokemon since Diamond for more than 1000 hours from Diamond to ORAS and never encountered one. :p
 
First was Shiny Crawdaunt in X/Y. I never caught my own shinies before gen 6, but I managed to get one by chain-fishing.
 
My very first was a golden magikarp in platinum - didn't even realise shinies existed until that point, but managed to get there in the end thanks to the subtle hints from the fisherman npc. Still my most prized catch to this day :)
 
I found a shiny Gastrodon Near Floroma Town in Platinum. I didn't know about shinies then so I gthough it was a glitch and ran away ;_; But luckily I got a shiny Pachirisu while chaining.
