Your first shiny. How? when? where?

Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

In pokemon FIreRed, I was playing in Mt Moon when suddendly...
*stars appear on the screen* WILD ZUBAT APPEARED!!
NO WAY!! IT'S COLOR IS DIFERENT!!! I was 11... *sigh* nice memories :B
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Hmmm, other than the red Gyarados, my first shiny was a Snorlax which I met at the Bridge in SS, accidentally made it faint though, then later on SS, I caught my first shiny, a Tentacruel I named Jaden ^^
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

On the original gold version, I ran into a shiny Hoothoot on one of the earlier routes. I was a kid and was still watching the TV show. So I said, "Dude! That's Ash's Shiny Noctowl!" Of course, I didn't have any Pokeballs. I still regret it to this day. lol j/k
But seriously. I've never seen any another shiny Pokemon since. Except good ol' Red Gyarados.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Only shiny I've found is the red gyarados in SS.
I'm that unlucky. :C

tho I soft-resetted for a shiny charmander in FireRed but I dunno if that counts.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

First Shiny Pokémon was a Bibarel in Diamond when using the PokéRadar. I thought I was walking into a normal rustling leaves bush but it was a Shiny bush! Too bad it broke the chain I was having though...
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Other than Red Gyarados that goes back to Gold/Silver/Crystal, it was a Fearow that I randomly encountered after beating Diamond and going on Route 225 I believe. I unfortunately traded it to someone else, suffice to say, I regret doing that. Though, I am glad that Fearow wasn't my only shiny capture.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

My first shiny Pokémon was none other than Pikachu (caught in FireRed). I was on holiday in Southern England and it was a hella sunny day. Pikachu appeared and I remember tilting my GBA this way and that, thinking the odd colouring was a trick of the sunlight. <:3 ♥
My second (and last, legit one anyway) was a shiny Buizel.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

I've had insanely good luck with shinies over the years, though my first shiny encounter wasn't so lucky. The first shiny I encountered that wasn't a red Gyarados was a gold Growlithe on my Gold version. I was so excited and determined to catch it! I was cautious when lowering its health. I didn't want to knock it out. Then I got the ultimate slap to the face when it friggin' roared at me and the battle ended. I died a little inside. D:

The first shiny I caught (that wasn't a red Gyarados) was a shiny Poochyena on my Emerald version. I ran into it merely 17 minutes into a new game, just after I got Pokeballs. It became a permanent member in my team. I was so proud. :'D
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

I have NEVER seen a shiny pokemon in any of my games (Red Gyarados doesn'
t count). My friend found a shiny fearow in Diamond though (on Friday the 13th hehehe)
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Besides the red Gyarados? It was a shiny Dunsparce in Gold. I wish I still had it. I can still remember when I encountered it. In the cave, wild encounter as usual (I was looking for a Dunsparce anyway) when suddenly "PINGPINGPINGPING" *Dunsparce's cry*. EPIC.

I've never had a legit shiny, well except for the Lake of Rage Gyrados..
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Wow my first Shiny.... was Red Gyarados back in Crystal.

But in the 3rd Generation, Leaf Green, I happened to come across a Shiny Female Nidoran. I raised it to become a Nidoqueen and I have made it a member of my team.

Oh, and I have a Shiny Gyarados, from Lake of Rage. But who doesn't own that bugger? ;-)
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.
