Other than that Red Gyrados, I caught a Onix in Mt. Silver on SS. You can bet I turned him into a Steelix.

I feel like this thread will go down the drain once people think about it and go "Riiiight Lake of Rage Gyrados...."
hahaha.
Shiny Totodile in silver for me! Thought there was something wrong with my game since it was my first time playing my gameboy colour and I didn't know shiny pokemon existed back then ;P

My first shiny was a shiny kakuna in Pokemon gold. I was confused becuz it was the color of metapod but it was a kakuna. I caught it and never really realized what it was lol

I've worried about whether I have caught a shiny back in my <10 years old days, during the first couple of gens. When I was checking some videos of older gen shinies the animation was very familiar. :(
I'm sure if I had seen one, I probably just killed it (knowing my <10 year old self).

This might be sad, but the first shiny I caught was in X&Y and it was a shiny Swablu:Meh:!

Well, idk if this counts, but it was shiny Gyarados on Pokémon Silver (back on the GBC). I got quite a few shinies starting on Ruby though.

My first shiny was a shiny Mightyena in Pokemon X :)It just came out of nowhere when I was encountering random pokemon.
