i've never had a shiny pokemon, that i know of lol. I tried for sooooo long to get a shiny mareep in one of the games, i forgot which one... but it never happened ;__; just another crushed dream
My first one was a Wingull on emerald IIRC, on an emulator. From then on shinies became boring, i have a few on my living dex, and some that i won on pokemonshowdown random giveaways. Never really play there anymore lol
I got a few from breeding too when i would engineer my own perfect ivs and egg moves and natures, but those were always imperfect so i'd give them away on wondertrade so someone would feel special (:
