In what generation did shiny Pokémon first start appearing?

Question

Gen 1? Gen 2? Gen 3? Gen 4? Gen 5? Gen 6? (Which I know isn't true)

Comments

Fun fact: "Shiny" is a term that fans coined. They were originally called Color Pokemon. Gamefreak/Nintendo just adopted the term Shiny

Answer 1

In the core series, Shiny Pokémon were first introduced in Generation II. This was likely to take full advantage of the capabilities of the then-recent Game Boy Color.
