First shiny pokemon

[Liamash3]

Mine was a shiny sandslash I caught in either Saphire or Emerald about when I was 12 (a long time ago anyway, can't recall exactly). I no longer have the pokemon as I redid my save or something.
What was everyone's first ever shiny pokemon?

EDIT:
As perspective, I'm 18 now, so it'd be about 5-7 years ago...

Of all fucking pokemon, mine was a shiny Unown on my pearl, I was kinda happy, but pretty pissed at the same time.

My first shiny that i encountered was a Ekans in Soulsilver, but i couldnt catch it since i ran out of pokeballs by then. . . . . . . . hadnt had another encounter since that time T-T

How do you make Pokemon shiny in this game? or do you find them shiny?

 

[Enethil]

The first wild shiny encounter I recall must be a Ponyta while lvling outside Silver mountain in HG, Since then I have obtained a lot of shinies using the Masuda breeding method.

Can it be done by editing the saved file?

In Pokemon3d, they aren't implimented in yet, but if you go into your save folder and go into the party.dat folder, if you convert that folder into a .txt or .doc file, you can scroll along until you find a section called isShiny, change the 0 to a 1 and that will turn an already existing pokemon into a shiny, I hoped this helped.

You can find a shiny Noctowl in Pokemon3D. That's what I did. My first shiny must've been Gyarados in Pokemon G/S/C.

I found a shiny zubat in Hoenn. Many years ago. Too long ago O_O

Shiny Golbat in HeartGold. Can't remember getting any others.

There weren't shiny in Pokemon Red... I never encountered a shiny Pokemon before . Except for that red Gyarados...

 

[kingofgames]

I think my first shiny was a shiny Nidorina in Pokemon Gold. I caught it only because it was shiny, because i didnt like Nidorina at all, and it looked soo ugly in shiny, so i never used it. If only it had been a Nidorino, I liked Nidoking. Anyway, that's pretty damn long ago>-<

Ahh, the memories
What's the Masuda Method?
