    My first shiny encounter was a shiny wooper in pokemon diamond. I didn't know shiny pokemon were a thing at the time. I caught it of couse, because I thought "cool, a pink wooper!". Anyway, shortly after my DS's battery died and I forgot to save after catching it. Later that week I told one of my friends about this pink wooper I found and he didn't believe there was such a thing, and I couldn't prove him wrong because I didn't have it anymore.

    Doduo in the FireRed Safari Zone, which I luckily was able to catch. I was with my cousin at the time and he explained what it was; I can't remember if I had even heard of shinies before then.

    Pokemon Gold back in 2000. A shiny Caterpie in the grass just north of Cherrygrove City. It was before I could buy Pokeballs. I was so salty! 😆

    My first shiny was a shiny zubat in Soul Silver when I was a kid. Unfortunately I lost it when I deleted my save before I could trade it to someone for safe keeping

    An eevee! I randomly hatched him and named him Shadow and evolved him into an umbreon, I was a kid and instantly fell in love with shiny hunting

    My first ever shiny was in Gold version when I was just a kid. I was using Totodile as my starter, and had made it to the Goldenrod Bug Catching contest. During said contest I encountered a shiny Beedrill! I tried and tried to capture it, but it eventually KO'd my Totodile, and was lost forever.

    Alas...

    My first Shiny was a Gible that I found in Area Zero in Violet. I had never encountered a Shiny before, since this was my first time playing the Pokemon games. Luckily, I already knew what Shiny Gible looked like (I'm a Shiny nerd BTW), and caught it immidiately. I turned it into an Lv. 100 Garchomp named Chomp. Later, I returned to Area Zero and found a Shiny Garganacl.

    The first shiny I vividly remember was a wild audino in pokemon black. Pretty bummed out that I no longer have the cartridge for it, though.

    I'll never forget how you swept both Burgh and Elesa.
