I don't care if it's common shit, I was super hyped and it looks kind of cool.

Golbat, I killed it
That was in sapphire years ago and I've never seen another
Mine was a Golbat in Victory Road. I found it while watching live coverage of the Saddam Hussein statue being toppled.

Orange tentacruel, accidentally killed it because I was spamming A, didn't even see it was orange until the nanosecond before it died.
Pink butterfree, ran away before capture.
Both in the original Silver.
Starter Cyndaquil in Silver. I was so confused why he had that sparkle animation when he popped out, assumed it was something new for your starter.

My first non-scripted Shiny was a gold Geodude in Mt. Moon at Silver. Little POS blew himself up before I could catch him.
The first Shiny I actually caught was a Slowpoke in X. I traded him for a Shiny Glalie, who was then traded for a Meloetta. Good times.
First was a Magikarp I autistically bred for in Platinum for about 2 weeks after hearing about the Masuda method.
>mfwHGSS and the free Red Gyarados were announced a week laterStill love it though. It's useless but I love it. Gen 6 hands them out like sweets. Got 3 fucking Whismurs while EV training one thing
I've been playing pokemon, every gen, since 1999 and I've never seen a shiny pokemon.
Not even once.
Radicate on Leaf Green.
Never really cared about shiny pokemon. But funny enough, I got a shiny Metagross in ORAS and it became the clean up powerhouse on my team whenever my Blaziken couldn't OHKO something.

>mfw RegisteelRIP with my old Diamond cart.
Do OR/AS have the original shiny encounter rate, or the increased rate from X/Y?
I was pretty upset when I found out they increased the rate, I wish they hadn't.Still haven't found a shiny in X, though.
Never found one,and i've played almost every game up until ORAS
In X I farmed a shiny pichu.
That was it.
>>291070128
Mine was an Oddish in Silver. After that, I caught a shiny geodude in every single game (that had them) since. Its like I'm cursed with those golden motherfuckers.
red gyarados
besides him, actual first was a gloom in R/S that I evolved to Belossom.
looked fucking great.
also found a SHINY SKARMORY IN EMERALD AND IT LOOKED COOL AS FUCK

Why would you even bother fighting things to EV train when you can do the training minigames to get it done in a fraction of the time?
Shint Ponyta in Fire Red, got a shiny zubat in the same day.

That's why I swear by Quick Balls.
Them and Ultra Balls.

Didn't find one up until gen 6, it was a gothirita. Shit stats and nature so I didn't even use it.

A sandshrew in firered. Then a Klefki after 8 years of no shinies and 3 cases of pokerus.
mine was all a bet with my girlfriend
the bet was that if i get a shiny regice she would suck my dick for the first time this was early on in the relationship so it was a big deal
the thing about shiny regice is this, this is his shiny you can barely spot the fucking difference
so you barely notice if you get him or not if your soft resetting without sound and not paying attention
I soft resetted 1277 times and I was doing this in the middle of a lecture and when it happend
I kicked my desk so hard when I shat myself with excitement
long story short i got my dick sucked for 30 minutes and shot the biggest load ever
>>291073139
Shiny Regice is plenty different, there's ones that are way harder to spot.

Eh, I looked it up, you're right it's pretty similar in gen 6. It's quite obvious in sprite form though.
Found a shiny Sableye in Emerald. I've found 1-2 more shinies but I can't even remember them.
Oddish in Silver.
Because of the darker Pallet in the 2nd gen games, it's appeared black with gold leaves.In later gens, they made it slightly more greenish, which kinda ruined the look in my opinion.
>>291073454did you keep it

Shiny Golbat while surfing on my way to the back of Meteor Falls to find a Bagon.
Found at least one wild shiny in every game I played since then except Black 2, but by then I had started breeding for them. Breeding for shinies is like crack with the new rare and destiny knot.
My first shiny was a Whismur.
I didn't even realize it was shiny. I wasn't looking at the screen when it showed up, and the coloration isn't very different. I caught it anyway, just trying to fill up my Pokedex.
Surprised when I realized it was shiny. Evolved it into an Exploud. Its stats weren't amazing, but it wasn't shit. Just wish it wasn't a garbage type like Normal.
i guess this is a good thread to bring it up but do any of you have balltism?
for me is that every legendary i catch must be in a timerball
>>291073139
HOLD THE FUCK UP
-328 F to K is 73.15 Kelvins.
That means it's 73 Kelvins away from absolute zero, even if the pokemon is in an isolated environment, the air would be frozen solid would be liquid, unable to breathe.

(And I got it in Alpha Sapphire, I've been playing since Pokemon RBY, and that was my first earlier this year.)

Then I got a Shiny Wingull trying to get a Chimecho. I got another puke-colored pokemon before finding a fucking Chimecho.
Then I got an Onyx in my Leaf Green version on Victory road, nice it was Gold and Steelix looked awesome.
Then I got another fucking Grimeron my Fire Red version, again on the pokemon mansion. Here I began to suspect the timer had something to do, since I got two shinies at the same point coursing through the game, around the 24 hour clock mark

The first shiny I ever found was one of those Electrodes you and Lance need to take out in Gold/Silver.
To make a long story short, I shit my pants in excitement, and then the fucker exploded on me.
Red Gyarados in Lake of Rage.
>>291076128
Oh, my first actual shiny was chikorita.
I wanted to start with cyndaquil.
PokeRNGods hate me
>>291070128
Never have had a shiny. Been playing since FR & LG
Shiny Shroomish
with Adamant Nature
First shiny was Beedrill in Silver caught during the bug-catching contest.
>Played Ruby until 7th gym, quit
>Beat Platinum
>Beat LeafGreen a few times
>Beat Black
>Beat HG twice
>Got to Victory Road in X
Never once encountered a legit shiny. I want my money back.
my first was an onyx on victory road when playing soulsilver, second was a hoothoot first encounter after clearing the elite four
Best one was getting a shiny lillipup on route 1 and playing through the game with it
I caught my first shiny just a few days ago. It's a gothorita named Siouxsie. Caught it in a premier ball.
Shiny Dedenne. Then a shiny Tentacool. And then a shiny Muk.
I'm a master of finding shinies of unimpressive and boring pokemon. Maybe next time I'll get a shiny Zigzagoon or a fucking Pidgey.

What about the banshees?
>like racehorses
>notice bunch of wild ponyta encounters right outside mt. silver in HG/SS
>pretend to make a stable for ponyta racehorses in one of my PC boxes
>catch a bunch of them
>name them after racehorses and give them racehorse-like names
>having lots of fun
>fucking blue one appears out of nowhere
>go to /vp/ draw thread and request ethan chasing after shiny ponyta outside mt silver
that was my first shiny. i hatched a shiny zorua in four eggs a little after when i was trying to breed them to giveaway
>>291070128
when my riolu popped out of that egg that one guy gives you in D/P. i thought my pokemon was was a fucking freak of nature
>>291070128
Gyarados :^)
First real one was a Heracross. Looked boss as fuck.
>>291077178
don't be a fucking pleb. tentacool, pidgey and zizagoon are great. even muk
>>291077525
That'scute.
>>291070128
Zubat in Sapphire.
>Patrat
>>291070294
sounds like a glitch to me, shiny geodudes are gold. I only know because that was my first shiny.It used explode
>>291077337
Siouxsie Sioux is a solo artist now, so I feel like the reference would be lost on most pokefags.
Also, I only nickname shinies and competitive mons. If I ever get male gothorita/gothitelle, maybe I'll name it Robert.
>>291077805
This is exactly how I feel when finding one of the first route shiny pokemon.
It's so disappointing it actually makes me kind of mad.
>>291077919
In gen 2 they looked reddish. A lot of shinies were changed in gen 3, probably due to palette limitations.
>>291070128
Started pokemon platinum next to a friend.
He saw a shiny pidove before he could get pokeballs. then a shiny bidoof 5 minutes after getting pokeballs. what the fuck. I never found a shiny in that game, only got a shiny eevee from a friend which I turned into an Espeon..
>>291077919
They were a reddish brown back in GSC
Topkekleon
My first shiny was a shiny caterpie in Soul Silver
>mfw one day I got 2 shiny miltanks and a shiny spearrow in the span of 2 hours while grinding in SoulSilver
I fucking hate miltank's shiny. I hate blue in general but I felt lucky anyways
>>291078161
>>291078204
hum. well guess I learned something. I never found a shiny (that i can remember) besides the red gyarados in Gen 2. and I skipped gen 3.
>>291070128
Shiny Pidgey in Gold.I had my first orgasm.
>Shinies that are the same color as the normal palette, just half a shade lighter or darker.
Why is this allowed?
Never had a shiny pokemon before, despite playing most games as they came out, aside from ruby/saph. Decide I'm going to get a shiny of one of my favorites, Shinx in pearl.
I spent nearly 3 weeks in my spare time chaining for a god damn shinx with the radar thing, could never master the radar and went home defeated.
Give up, start new file. Name my character Shinx, cause fuck it. Recieve pokeballs, head out and my very first encounter was a shiny shinx. Named that mother fucker Shinx and leveled her up to level 100 into a Luxray named Shinx.
I shit you not, is still my favorite virtual possession and is rocking it out in my xy with a couple of shinys I got it that game.
mine was a fucking golbat on emerald...
Ralts
>>291078448
I found like 4 shiny Audino and an Aipom while grinding in the Friend Safari. At least they look cute.
I've only seen one. Psyduck. And it fucking got away some how. I think this was on gold.
>>291078534
I wish i could breed alternate colors.
I really think a white raichu would be the cutest shit ever.
>Shiny Electrike
Mine was Jynx in Heartgold and I had played all the previous gens of pokemon before that game.
I mean I guess it was sort of cool since Jynx is a rare pokemon. But I mean it's fucking Jynx. Who in the history of the world has ever used a Jynx on their team. One of the ugliest pokemon without a doubt.
>catch a shiny pidgey in FireRed
>keep it with me for years
>transfer it to game after game until BW2
>its now forever stuck there
fuck pokebank
>not fighting your ass off for your favorite mons
My nigga was my first.
Zigzagoon.
I caught like a month ago. Wierded me out because I've been playing pokemon since Silver and I've never found one in the wild nor ever felt like shiny hunting.
>>291078534
>shinies that change color when they evolve
Why is THIS allowed?
Shiny ponyta has blue flames, and looks awesome. Shiny rapidash has grey flames. Literally why
>>291078859
I use them all the time. She's my favorite pokemon.
>>291078918
>his bro is not worth $5
Fuck you.
>>291078918
Erm, Pokebank DOES allow you to transfer your pokemon from gen 5 to gen 6. You do realize this right?
You just need to download an app specifically for the 5>6 transfer.
>>291070128
Magnemite in gold version, Almost didn't catch it because it pretty much looks the same.
Second was a Kakuna in gold, Hariyama in Sapphire, Rattata (first encounter in fire red), and a Tentacool in Y version.
>>291078969
Sorry man I didn't mean to diss your favorite pokemon. I genuinely believed no one who had her as a favorite would see my post.
If it's any consolation my favorite pokemon is farfetch'd so feel free to diss him.
>>291079186
Farfetch'd ispretty fucking cool though.
>no shinnies for days
>>291070128
I think mine was a Pidgey, or something similar in Gold. It's been like 15 years so i can't really remember. Most recent shiny is a Sylveon.
>>291079186
Too be fair there aren't many that like her. Besides I like Farfetch'd too.
Shiny pidgey in Crystal
Didn't know wtf was going on.
>>291079338
you're damn right he is.
Found four:
>shiny Shellder from egg
>wild shiny Venipede
>wild shiny Durant
>hatched a shiny Sigilyph
Gen 5 mons love me.
Shiny Lillipup, not the nicest colors, but Stoutland sorta reminds me of one of my old teachers from High School.
I just wish he was more viable :c
Mine was a Numel in Emerald that I knocked out because I wasn't paying attention.
First one I caught was a Bidoof.
