"lol" so yeah, all that hunting paid off! I had been planning to hunt all day for a week while running Ruby to avoid any potential RNG issues, but I wasn't expecting it to be my longest hunt, haha. In retrospect, I really shouldn't be surprised given my August! But it all worked out, and now I'm going to go back to Route 116 for a little bit to see I can nab that elusive shiny Nincada.
It's actually kind of good that it took so long for Duskull to show up, since now I can hunt again on Ruby between days 6.5 and 14 without having to worry about an RNG duplicate, since I didn't see any shinies until day 15! This gives me the ability to have another Hoenn hunt in the far future in addition to the Sableye/Nincada that I plan on going for in Emerald.
Shiny Duskull looks incredible. I had no idea how it looked when I was hunting it, so I was kind of surprised when I saw a darker floating thing flying across the screen. It really looks like a flame, haha, but I bet images can't do it justice. You really need to get one yourself to see how cool this thing is. *recommends shiny Duskull for everybody*
My Ruby is now at 867:24, "lol".
Thanks! I'm nearing 1000 REs on my hunt for either shiny Wingull or shiny Taillow on Route 8.
Even though this is a lot more challenging, the effort put into it really is a lot more fun!
Glad to hear it! Those two both look awesome - hope one of them shines for you soon!
congrats on your catches G and sorry for the delay, been busy lately. Thanks. 1)its good you can no longer need to press select and start at the same time in the 3 ds and that may be because those buttons were located together at the right side in ds and pressing both at the same time was like pressing only one button back then. 2)never tried that, can you still change the language after starting the game? 3)I always tought it was the zoom when you encounter a pokemon and didn't pay attention to that, I will look more closely next time I battle pumpkaboos.
the sr in black2/White2 takes like 1:30 to 2 minutes aproximately, not much compared to xy intro or when hunting for shiny roamers that can take around 5 minutes per sr (maybe more depending on the roamers mood).
Thanks!
I never thought about that with the DS button configuration changes, but yeah, that makes sense. SRing on a 3DS would be harder with the buttons separated by the new Home button.
You can't change the language after you start a game, but when you hard reset and erase all data, you have a chance to do so, which can make SRing for the starters more fun! (Although 2000 Froakie takes longer than like 20000 Duskull, "lol"!)
Awesome, thanks for the info on B2/W2 reset times! I think I'll get a White 2 in a couple of months to go for the starters.
EDIT: I just went to the Pokemon Center to check it out, and guess what? Turns out I contracted Pokerus, too! ^_^ "lol"
