Your first Shiny Pokemon

Twilight Gallade

Just a little discussion about when you first caught a Shiny Pokemon (not including the Red Gyarados from GSC).

I remember my first one...it was a shiny Oddish that I caught in Emerald's Safari Zone...I eventually evolved it into a Bellossom...sadly, that said Pokemon is no more, due to someone spilling soda on my Emerald...*sigh* I'll miss you, Flora.

Since then, I had gotten a shiny Diglett (also lost), and a shiny Psyduck (now a Golduck).

So, what was your first shiny?

My first shiny was a staravia in the trophey garden. Wasn't even trying and then look who showed up. Yeah sad that they know whirlwind, right? First one caught, however, was a shiny starly that I chained after the loss at the first.

My first shiny that I can recall was a Weedle. :D
Found it right in front of Viridian Forrest.
Traded it for a Caterpie after I migrated it to Diamond.
Then I found out you have a 1/8512 chance of getting a shiny. I was madd.

It saddens me deeply I have never caught nor seen a Shiny at all in game wise. I have never seen one and even when trying to i fail at capturing or even encountering one :(

It's quite all right, really. The chances of finding them is once in a blue moon, and finding them via the Poke Radar is a challenge in itself. Keep trying, you'll find one someday.

This might help:
(This is from Arkeis.com)
"Other shiny Pokémon you can more easily encounter are the Pokémon that are extremely common. Sure, you may be sick and tired of running into Zubats and Tentacools everywhere, but since you see them so often, your chances of finding a shiny one increases.
Try going into places where only one kind of Pokémon can be found, such as Whismur in Verdanturf Tunnel or Diglett in Diglett Cave if you are interested in shiny versions of those Pokémon."
