The first shiny I ever encountered was in Leaf Green. I had heard of shinies but I had never seen one. One day I was in the battle tower and one of the AI sent out a shiny Espeon. I couldn't believe an AI had a shiny, and I was furious that I couldn't catch it.
Years later I catch a shiny graveler in diamond who has probably been deleted.
The third shiny I ever enountered was in platinum. You remember those sections in platinum where you have a partner following you around a forest or cave or whatever? Remember how you'd always have to fight two wild Pokemon instead of one? Remember how you couldn't catch a Pokemon in those battles unless you beat one first? Yea, so I'm in Iron Island with Riley when a Graveler and a shiny fuckin Steelix appear. Riley decides to be a friend and attack the Steelix. He knocks it into the red, then kills the next turn. Later when I part ways with him tells me he really enjoyed traveling with me and that he thinks I'm great. Fuck you Riley.
