Good post op!! My first Pokemon game was FireRed and bulbasaur was my first choice too - one day I want to restart my save and soft reset for a shiny one!
Shiny were introduced in gen 2? The odd of a shiny in fire red was 1 in 8192.
Fun fact: you could techically get shiny pokemon in gen 1 but the value for wild pokemon was bugged and i’m pretty sure they had no shiny sprite. Which mean they would only become shiny by trade.
Just imagine it: your best pal whip out his new pokemon silver cartridge he got for christmas, sadly your momma didn’t have money this year for you, so you put your yellow one in and start semi playing while looking at your friends game. You begin some rando trade after his second badge , his team is getting wrecked by a cow…? bam! He show you the electrode you just traded, THAT DAMN INVERTED POKEBALL BECAME GREEN WTF!!
Nowaday you would probably have to pay an extra dlc for that kind of stuff.

Ok so it came with gold and silver
But if you trade one it can have hidden shiny on it
It makes sense, funny I only played gen 1 and then thought wait, I know everything about this game haha. This trivia was awesome, thanks!
