My first shiny pokemon was a tentacool. :3

My first shiny was an...event...

Oh, woe is me. 

I got mine yesterday from Alder`s grandson. It was a shiny Dratini.

In all my years of pokemon playing, I've NEVER found a single shiny. Well... except Red Gyarados.

congrats on your first shiny that's always exciting!

i never got a shiny, lucky you. <_<

there is a way to breed shiny pokemon.  I've not tested it yet it's called the matsuda method.  It's named after Junichi matsuda.  Basically it works like this.  You know the odds of finding a shiny pokemon.  they are reduced if you breed  your pokemon with a ditto from another country.  now in game trades like Surge's french pikachu don't count because you are still playing the game in whatever country you're playing it in.  If you can obtain  a ditto from another country  your odds of getting a shiny  pokemon to hatch are reduced by a bit.

That sounds made up lol

It's such a cutie pie Being a pokemon fan myself I know the feeling and amazement of finding a shiny! My first one was a shuckle in the original crystal. I didn't even know it was a shiny back then but caught it anyway. Good times.
