My first wild shiny was a raticate I met while level grinding in Cinnabar Mansion in Leaf Green. Still got him. =^_~= Since then I caught a shiny espurr in Y, and a ninetales in X or Y (can't remember which), then my most prized shiny is an entei I caught in Alpha Sapphire. Boy that was a scary battle. Battery was nearly dead and I was like, eh, I'll start the encounter and if it dies before I plug in no big deal, I'll just fight him again. Then entei jumps out of the portal with that sparkle effect and I nearly peed my pants. Never scrambled so fast for a 3DS charger EVER.
 
Shiny Pidgey in Gold. I didn't know what it was, so I killed it, only a few years later playing emerald did I discover what shinies are
 
I've never caught a shiny pokemon in thw wild :( I don't even know if I've seen one. i probably have, but was too young and stupid to know what it was.

However, I was gifted a shiny Quagsire and I love him.
 
i can't remember but i think i got a shiny togekiss as my first. and no, i didnt caught it or anything. i created it. i am the god of pokemon and can bring any pokemon into existent. lol jk, i got it from pokecheck LOL

My first (and only) shiny was a Bibarel in the Great Marsh (Pokemon Platinum). I think I held my breath the entire time. I threw mud twice and then one food, and finally the ball. I never used it, and I don't know what happened to it (the last time I saw it I put it into Pokemon Battle Revolution), but that Bibarel will always have a special place in my heart.
 
Not counting the Lake of Rage Gyarados from G/S/C, the first shiny I encountered was a Gligar in HeartGold. I caught it and have since evolved it into a Gliscor. It's currently sitting in Black 2 or White 2, and I'm unsure whether I want to keep it in Gen V or transfer it into Gen VI. The coloration on the Gen VI model seems a bit more dull, and I'm not sure how I feel about the bulky look.
 
The first I ever saw and wasn't traded to me was in my playthrough of Alpha Sapphire. It was a Lunatone in Meteor Falls, which is already difficult to catch, but where I had just started I ran out of Pokeballs and killed it.
 
Randomly found a shiny Bronzor in Platinum. I accidentally released it when I was cleaning out my PC whoops.
 
I've never found one in the wild but I bred my first one in Black 2! It's a shiny snorunt (later evolves into froslass My FAV)

Zigzagoon in emerald several years ago, thought my game was glitched. It was the first pokemon I encountered at the start of the game with pokeballs on hand. In that same game also had shiny golbat. In the next month I had shiny weedle and zubat from leafgreen.

But I've never seen a wild shiny since then, not even in X and Y where everyone seems to have them.
