Mine was a shiny shins while EV training. <3 oh, the memories of that click...
 
Even though I have been playing the game for quite a while, I have never seen a single shiny (except for gyrados in HGSS which is easy to see + get) I guess I'm just unlucky

My first shiny was a shiny HootHoot in my Gold version from years ago. That game had the most luck for me with shinies with a shiny Voltorb and Krabbys. In Ruby though, I found 3 shiny Tentacools, in leafgreen a shiny Spearow and in White on the second day I had it, I found a shiny Cubchoo. That was incredible. D/P/Pt/HG/SS had no luck for me in the shiny department.

I was running through fiery path in Pokemon Ruby when I met a teal koffing with purple smoke coming out. Teal was my favourite colour then so I was overjoyed. I lost that game though :(

I wonder if Pokemon Black and White have a higher chance of producing random-encounter shinies..... My sister and I found two each.

Geodude int Platinum, but it has a Modest nature. :( At least I have a shiny besides Gyarados and the three beasts from the event.

Got a problem?
My first shiny was a pidgey in Red...minutes after starting the game so I had no poke balls....And this happened 3 times to me. :( Talk about bad karma.

My First was Shiny Weedle.
I restarted my Leafgreen for fun and found one. Had no idea how rare shinys were back then, nicknamed it 'Starly' because stars fly out whenever I use it :p

I've forgotten the exact cave I was in, but I was traveling through it and there appeared a shiny Cubone! :D I was so ecstatic to have finally found a shiny, though I have just recently traded him away for a shiny Kingdra.

Hey, folks, this is generation four, no talks about Ruby/Sapphire, FireRed/LeafGreen, or Gold/Silver here.

Ha ha, just about a week ago, actually. I was just training in Mount Silver and I ran into a shiny Rapidash. Since my brothers were in the room, I announced "SQUEE A SHINY" and they told me to catch it--which I was going to anyway.

Persistent bugger it was, I had to poison it, and it nearly KO'd itself out before I finally caught it. I was going to name it Celestia until I saw it was a male.

Funny how you don't pay attention to the gender when you run into something like that.
