Well, my first unexpected shiny was acutally in HGSS. I was swimming pointlessly near Goldenrod City then I saw a shiny Krabby. Unfortunately, I KO'd it.

I can't take credit for how this story was written, but the EXACT same thing happened to me:

A shiny wild Gaveler appeared!

:)

Graveler used Selfdestruct!

My first unexpected shiny was Gyarados in Pokemon Crystal.

Nice, that's funny. Other than Red Gyarados, I've had a lot of lucky unexpected shinies. My first was an Eevee that hatched out of an egg(which I made an Espeon), but my favorite happened last night in the form of a Shiny Rayquaza from the Embedded Tower. I had been searchng all over for the SS Groudon, got it, showed it to Oak, got the Jade Orb, went to the tower, (I was excited enough as it was, because Rayquaza's my favorite Legendary), and boom. Rayquaza's black. I nearly lost him too, he used Outrage, so he got confused with like, 1 health left. If I hadn't put him to sleep this story wouldn't be happening.

I wasn't even there.
In DPPt? A shiny Machop I found while EV training my Weavile (I think it was my Weavile...). My first unexpected shiny in general was a Magby in Crystal version. She's like, Lv.48 or something, I never wanted her to evolve lol. I know she's in my Pokemon Stadium 2 Boxes, cause I reset my 100% complete Crystal Version for replaying... And then I never replayed it >.

My first unexpected Shiny was a Shiny Tyrogue in my old Pearl, I just hatched one egg because I didn't have a Hitmontop and I really wanted one, and I ended up with a Shiny Jolly Hitmontop, unfortunately I sold the Game it was on to my mate and he doesn't have that save anymore.
My favourite unexpected Shiny was a Eevee I hatched last month, I was hatching them to get all the Eeveelutions on my HG and the 2nd egg was Shiny.

Loads of people seem to see geodude first! The first I saw was a starly I think but this was way back before I even knew what the sparkles meant... so I KO'd it. First I got was a shiny charizard!

same thing happenned to me, it was EVIL, but my first ever random shiny was a bellsprout in diamond and pearl, i would explain how i got it but i have NO clue, because one day i was sitting with my brother and asking him if i have anything he wants, and let him flip through my PC boxes and all of the sudden he stands up and shouts "HOLY SH*T!!!! WHY DIDN'T U TELL ME U HAD A SHINY" and i just looked at him and asked "whats a shiny???" i could have met one before this and not relized so there is no way to tell if this is really my first shiny :p

A Steelix I found on Iron Island on my Platinum.

Sept 27 - Oct 2 09', I found 3 shinies ;)

A Steelix, then a Gyarados, and then a Quagsire.

My first RE shiny in Diamond was an Onix, whilst making my way through Iron Island with Riley. Of course, I was absolutely terrified that Riley would K.O, but fortunately he was more concerned with the other one, and I managed to catch it :) When I went through Iron Island in Platinum, I had a full plan in case another shiny showed up, but it never did :'(

I was training my Glaceon on Iron Island when I encountered a shiny geodude. :)
Too bad it used selfdestruct. :(

First shiny was in FireRed. I was fishing for Horsea so I could eventually get a Kingdra. 5th one was shiny and holding the scale :)

Then on Emerald my last random encounter in victory road just before exiting to battle the elite 4, I ran into a shiny Lairon.

In Platinum it was a Houndour.

Haven't run into one on SoulSilver or HeartGold yet.

My first random shiny encounter was a voltorb back in gold. :D
But I didn't have enough pokebals to catch it. I wasted them all. :(

My second shiny was a golbat back in ruby. But AGAIN I didn't manage to catch it.

Since then I've found nothing.

My first random shiny was a Cleffa. |D Until then, played Pokemon for ~9 or 10 years and never found any shinies other than Gyarados.
Still haven't found another since then. .____. I'm friggin unlucky, I guess.

My first 4th gen shiny? If I remember correctly, my first random, 4th gen shiny was an Electrike in Diamond. Completely random to me. My first random shiny ever was in Gold, when I found a shiny Drowzee. I caught two. One to keep(shiny) and one to trade for the Machop in Goldenrod. I traded the wrong one. D:

My first is from Diamond when i was on my way to Snowpoint City and a shiny Ponyta appeared. I've also caught shiny Pokemon when i've been ill and had to take a day off from college (2 Golbats and a Spinda) Another time on SoulSilver i was training my Pupitar so it would evolve when i found a shiny Fearow... I've been really lucky.
