I saw a shiny drowzee while in Kanto, east of vermillion city. I didn't know what it was so I didn't catch it.
 
It was a shiny Drowzee in Silver I believe. I was outside the Daycare, south of Goldenrod City.

Yeah.
I finally got my first shiny like, last week in my Silver version.

A shiny Onix in Victory Road. :]

Besides the Red Gyrados, this was the ONLY shiny in my entire Pokemon playthroughs. And I've been playing since G/S/C. It was a golden Arbok outside of Mt. Silver. And I killed it on accident! I used one attack that kept his HP on green, so I figured I would use it again to weaken it to red, but it ended up killing it! H4X0RZZ!!

I accidently killed the first shiny I've ever encountered besides gyarados: a blue girafarig. But, later on in the game, I caught my first shiny: an awesome larvitar. Good times.

well my first shinies (excluding the red gyrados) were a shiny magikarp on route 218 and a starly on route 202. This is b4 i was really aware of shinies. Pretty cool.
 
I was in route 10, just walking around randomly (i don't know why) when i came across a silver and gold raticate. I caught it, then got so excited i dropped my gameboy and the batteries fell out before i saved the game.

I learned my lesson though.

Well this is my first time on the forums in forever =P
I remember the shiny Gyradose that is part of the storyline and after that battle I surfed and about 4 paces away I ran into a shiny Magikarp. I didn't know about shinies at the time so I was stumbled and then I evolved it and had two red Gyradoses.

Glitches are mine
My first shiny pokemon . . . let's see . . . Well, this was before I was really aware of the whole 'shiny' concept thing, so, of course, I had to double check the screen like three times because it was late at night, I was playing in the dark (with the GBA light on, mind you) and half asleep. I KNEW pokemon of other colors existed, I just didn't know it was possible to find them and catch them.
So, my first was a shiny Zigzagoon in Pokemon Ruby. Yeah, I feel so out of place, because all of you are talking about G/S/C. I found him in the long jungle-like path underneath Fortree city, and it was raining. He was red, and so cute. About a year later I found a blue Electrite, and I evolved him into a purple Manectric. Good times, good times . . .;264;;309;

Oh, and sorry that these weren't in G/S/C. I just don't count the shiny Gyrados, as he's sitting on a silver platter waiting for you.

I didn't know what shinies were back when I was playing Crystal so I killed the red gyrados. I also saw a blue ghastly that I thought was a glitch so I ran. I also could have sworn that I saw a shiny flaafy that I ran from but apparantly you can't catch flaafy in crystal so... I don't know. Maybe I dreamt it
 
The only shiny I ever found(Apart from Gyarados) was a Shiny Pidgey. I saved my game and went to school. The next day my save data was corrupt and I had to start over. :(

No, it's not the internal battery, since my pokemon Crystal still works.

Pidgey.

I remember West of New Bark Town, I was just wandering in the grass for some unknown reason. Then I find this Pidgey with a strange "glow" to it. I did catch it though :D
