My first one was a shiny whismer in Sapphire, but shortly after that I got Ruby from my friend, started a new game and was fishing for a female torchic, but got a shiny one instead. Shiny Blaziken is awesome.
My first shiny!

Shiny thread! It's been a few months since the last at least.
Congrats on getting one, it always feels good doesn't it?
I've had more than my share of shinies over the years, but to be honest I've played far more then my fair share of pokemon so yeah.
Caterpie, Ditto, litwick, axew, beldum, Foonguss, Cyndaquil, about 20 gyarados of course.
My shiny Metagross is one of my favourite pokés ever.

My only shiny so far is a Donphan (good thing I always have a pokémon with False Swipe when I'm grinding).
My brother's lucky enough to have had 3: a Hoothoot in crystal, a Luvdisc in Diamond, and in platinum, he rerolled the encounter with Regigigas enough times to get a shiny there.

I played fire red on the gba back a few years ago before my gba broke and my friend stole the shiny. It was a shiny gastly and it was pretty cool, i evolved it to haunter and traded it to my friend to evolve it to a shiny gengar, once he got it he never returned it and i never saw it again 
A pink female Nidoran, back before I named my pokes, when I was like 9.
Last year, I caught my pride and joy: a golden Pidgeotto, who I named Rarity.
THREE DAYS later, I caught my third, a blue Gulpin, who I named Crypto.
Also, once on a friend's game, I caught a blue Swinub. I have really good luck with shinies...

The only one I ever caught was a shiny Numel on Emerald once.
... I wasn't that thrilled. Caught it anyway, because shiny.
I also once got the PokeRus in Gold Version. When the nurse told me my Pokemon were sick and couldn't be cured, I freaked the fuck out and restarted the game.
I was young.
I have been cursing my young self ever since...

In Pokemon pearl, I found a gold geodude and caught it. If you count the red gyrados in gold/silver, I also caught that one.
I have been playing Pokemon for 12 years and haven't seen a shiny to the best of my knowledge. It's horrible and every time I see someone talking about Shinys it makes me feel inadequate.....
I've caught my fair share of Shiny Pokemon throughout my ventures in ever generation.
The first that I caught outside of the Red Gyarados in the Silver version was:
A Shiny Golbat!
I was 12 when I caught this beast and I was excited as hell!
I also caught
a Shiny Flaffy a few weeks later.
For Ruby, I caught:
A Shiny Taillow and
a Shiny Aron.
For LeafGreen, I was fortunate to catch
a Shiny Oddish.
In Pearl, I caught
a Shiny Hippowdon.

Once when I was lazily playing SoulSilver I came across a shiny Dewgong, but it's colour in comparison to a normal one was so similar that I wouldn't have noticed if not for the obvious sparkle animation. Now THAT woke me up pretty quick.
In fire red I found my first shiny. I was a pidgy. I thought my game was glitching so I restarted because I was afraid to lose my save data to the "glitch". Told my friend about it the next day and he told me it was a shiny. Lets just say many facepalms were dealt that day.
I've played over 1000 hours of Pokemon throughout my life and only ever found a single shiny Sandshrew in Pokemon Ruby. I wasn't sure what it was (shiny Sandshrew looks pretty much the same) so I knocked it out. Found out a couple of years later and been kicking myself since.
