First shiny I ever got was a Gengar traded from my friend during the Shiny Mega Gengar event. When I couldn't get one for myself.

The first one I ever actually caught was a Mienfoo in the friend safari. I was actually looking away from the screen at the time and it took a good minute for me to look back. Suddenly the cream and blue Mienfoo catches me by surprise and I spit-take my drink out.

First shiny I got was a shiny Giratina from an event. First shiny I got that wasn't from an event was a shiny Ferroseed while I was IV breeding. And the first shiny I found in the wild was a shiny Skrelp using the fishing method of shiny hunting. Then, while grinding for happiness, I left my 3ds on overnight and forgot to plug it into the charger and I forgot to save, so Skrelp was gone by the morning. I caught another one later, but it just wasn't the same... rip Skrelp

My first shiny was a Froakie. Took me a lot of soft resetts to get it, I started to scream in joy when I got it XD

First Shiny not including the Gyrados in the Lake of Rage was a Zubat on a ROM of Emerald. I hatched a Shiny Meowth on my copy of Emerald and not the ROM which was my first Shiny in an actual game that wasn't preset.

My first shiny was a Kricketune in Pokemon Pearl. Once I saw the shiny form I understood that it was based on the golden cricket.

Does it count that I just got a shiny Clefairy in the game corner on diamond.

I think my first shiny was a Tentacool in Sapphire or Ruby, a long time ago. No longer have that save. D:

First non-Red Gyarados shiny I caught was a Lunatone in Black... I nearly hit the roof considering I've been playing since Gen 1 and have zero luck with shinies. The only one I'd ever encountered before that was a Hariyama in Sapphire which of course used Whirlwind, and the only one I've ever caught since was a Wobbuffet at the Friend Safari.

As long as you didn't use cheat codes, then it's your first shiny.

I remember I found a shiny Koffing in the Burnt Tower in gold but I couldn't catch it or I killed it, can't remember which :( first one I caught besides from Gyarados was a shiny Seaking in LG in the safari zone. Caught quite a few since then but never had the patience to breed for a shiny. My fav is probably my shiny Geodude which I caught in diamond, named him Nugget and he's currently in AS now!

My first shiny was a Tyrunt.
Somebody gave her to me a few days ago and I evolved it into Tyrannitar. I am still thinking what the best name dor her could be, even though I can't name her in-game.

I think you mean Tyrantum. Larvitar is the one to evolve into Tyranitar.

The first shiny I ever CAUGHT was Gyarados in HGSS, of course.
The first shiny I ever received was a shiny Luvdisc. I traded it away ASAP.

Hatched shiny Hippopotas, just breeding for stats!

My first shiny was a Luvdisc.
Your argument is invalid.
BTW I have TERRIBLE luck with shinies. My first shiny was Gyarados, of course. The Luvdisc was a trade, but I got it before the Gyarados mission. I was so happy. Then, I traded it away for some other shiny. Who knows where that Luvdisc is today...

Besides Red Gyrados from SoulSilver,
Through trading my first shiny was a Cressilia, I believe.
My first naturally caught shiny...was a Mime Jr. I'm not real proud of it.

Shiny Illumise in Pokemon Ruby :P

Besides Gyarados, it was Machop in Crystal. I was really disappointed at the colour.. it was too similar to the normal Machop (at least in that game) ov0

Only games I've ever seen shiny Pokemon in are Crystal and Sapphire.

 A Zubat in Sapphire back on the old GBA.

I called that badboi "BLACKY" - because it must have looked black at the time - and threw an everstone on him so he wouldn't evolve.

Lost him through the transition between games and I can't remember what cartridge he's on.

Grabbed a Wingull in Sapphire, years ago. First and only shiny this one has captured.  :(

I found a shiny Gulpin the first day I had my Pokemon Y. I showed it to all my friends and then for some reason traded it for a ditto. Because I'm a freaking idiot.
