I never found one in the wild (Except for red gyrados), but I traded a Kyogre for a shiny Golem...

too old for this
I radar'ed three shiny Shinx on my Platinum. Since then, one is lounging in my box, and the other two I've traded to my friend and brother, who actually had the patience to train them.

Mine was a bellsprout in diamond. i didn't know what a shiny was until i was going through my boxes to see if i had anything good to trade my brother and he saw it and told me, the only thing that makes me upset is thinking about how many shinies that means i must have ran from...

whell 1st shinky I ever meet was the red Garyados, which doesn't count but was the only shiny I ever found in the origonal games.
in fire red I found a shiny goldeen but I lost the game...
and in leaf green I found a Shiny Execute but it fled after the 1st turn.
But on my pearl I have a Ursaring,Bellosom, and Crowbat that I all found training... plus I have two shiny pichus (platinum and pearl)exept one evolved into richu now.

First shiny I got was the Riolu that I hatched after receiving its egg. It's now a pretty decent shiny Lucario.

Tho' I suppose that doesn't necessarily count as catching it. The first wild Pokemon I encountered that was shiny was a shiny Kriketune in the trophy garden.

The RG,..but as said it does notcount.. my first catch was a shiny slugma in Emerald version near Fallarbor town. traded him away for a Space C Deoxys at the toys R Us Mew give away in 2006. I hope those guys still have him.

I've ran into two shinys since I started playing. They were Manky on FR and Magicarp on LG. I've lost them now though :(
 
My first was in LeafGreen with my shiny fearow.
