Basically, discussing the story of how you got your first and/or favorite shiny! I will share mine:
First: I was on Pokemon X near Thanksgiving eve, while I open up the PSS and decide to do a wonder trade. I go to wondertrade and trade away the usual Luvdisc. I see the usual animations and such, when I glance over at the actual trade animation and see the trade of my Luvdisc for a shiny level 100 Heatran. At first, I didn't realize what it exactly was, I knew it was a Heatran, since it said it's name and I knew it was a legendary since I looked it up on the internet, but it wasn't until I battled with it on Route 20 that I realized it was a shiny. I honestly couldn't believe it and I couldn't wait to tell my friend at school. Of course, he decided to act like a scumbag and rain on my parade by saying it was probubly a hacker's work. I don't really care, to me (unless it is an event), a shiny is a shiny and I still love my Heatran.
Favorite: A day later (After the whole Heatran event), I was going back home from my Grandmother's house on Thanksgiving day. I was again playing Pokemon X again and decided to level grind one of my Pokemon (Sadly, I forgot which one), I went to Route 20 once again and went through a couple of the usual Amoongus and the like, when I come across a Jigglypuff with bold green eyes and those signature blue sparkles, I felt a rush of adrenaline and immediately threw a quick ball to catch it, it worked and I got my first shiny that I caught on my own. The hardest part was actually getting a moon stone to evolve it, which required for me to beat my record time of the super training secret super training (That's quite a mouthful) course known as "Drag Down Hydreigon!". After about 10 or so times, I finally beat it, got my moon stone and evolved my Jigglypuff to it's current state as a Wigglytuff.
I would love to hear all of your own stories of how you got your shinies, as I believe that recieving a shiny for the first time really is special and unique as a Pokemon player.
