Ummm, my first non-gyarados shiny was......... HO-OH!!! I have like 10 years playing Pokemon and SoulSilver gave me my first shiny, and that was like 5 months ago >_<.
The thing is that i was preparing to SR it for a good nature, got my Masterball ready and saved in front of it, and then talked to it and OMIGOOOOOOOOD CHAINY!!!! NN it HeartGold =D

OOOoooohhh, pretty!
 
My first shiny encounter was in pokemon platinum
It was a rhyhorn, and it was PERFECT! Adamant, Loves to eat, but... his ability is Lightingrod:(

Yup.

"Hey, Marley, why is that Golbat Green?"
"Arcanine, use ExtremeSpeed!"
"..."
"Wow, I guess it's dead, then."
"Go, Pokeball."
"How did you catch it?"

Let's just say, it was on a sliver of health.

Relentless.
In my Diamond:

Pokeradar: *Shiny Grass In Sight*

Me: What's that? Maybe a rare Pokemon?

*Walk into grass*

Me: Why is that Ralts weird? Meh, I'll just catch it...

One Day...The web says shiny Pokemon are rare as, so I was happy.

Then....

Me: Lets put this Flygon in the GTS for a Dragonite....

*The next day*

Me: Yes! Now lets see....

*Shiny Dragonite!*

Me: !? Who would trade their shiny Dragonite for a Flygon!!??

Now I get shiny Pokemon all the time...

I knew about them but I didnt think much of them until i encoutered a golden Graveler in pokemon diamond. I was saving my masterball for dialga so i tried to whitle it down to the red and put it to sleep and right as i got it in the red it used selfdestruct. I was so mad. The very next day i encountered another shiny only this time is was a chingling and this time i caught it. Unfortunatley i wasnt thinking and i deleted the save file six months later.

Indomitable
Random wild encounter...
"Ah, c'mon, no time for this!"
Battle music starts...
"Hang on, that absol sprite looks a little... OMFG SHINY ABSOL"
*switches to scizor*
"So glad I gave him false swipe before we caught Lugia and was too lazy to change it."
*False Swipes*
*Ultra Ball*
*CAUGHT*
"YESSSSSS!"

Pretty much the same reaction for when I found my shiny cofagrigus in the Relic Castle, but when I went to switch out to a weaker pokemon so I wouldn't OHKO it, it used curse and brought itself to 1/2 HP. I threw a Dusk Ball, and caught it.

thatguycharizard34

so AWH-SOME /)^ɛ^(\
first one was a mudkip in emerald on my first run on the game in '05
"eh?"
second one was a koffing several replays later
"yay, shiny :D lets go catch it.......WHATTHEHELLHASHAPPENEDTOALLOFMYGODDAMNPOKEBALLSHFYHIKJRHFIUHLDBFOIHGDIKNFVOIGHFIBF??????????????????????????????????" i didnt have any :/

all my other encounters have been successes, EXCEPT when i found shiny rayquaza, glitched up, found it AGAIN on the next reset, glitched AGAIN and on the final reset it was shiny (WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) and when i caught it and was saving, my brother rushed into my room and dislocated the game cartridge, causing the game to glitch, and when i turned the game back on, rayquaza was gone and i basically had a epileptic seizure
 
Whenever I find a shiny, I go through a moment of shock, followed by extreme happiness. I have found two shinies from random encounters.
