Haha, that explains it! Thanks for the luck. I've had it long enough, so you can have it back. :) *hands back luck*
For Manaphy, you need to pick it up, trade it to another game, save, and hatch it; if it's not shiny, SR, trade the egg back to the original game, completely delete the other game, and start over from the beginning. Once you pick a starter and catch 2 other Pokemon, you can trade the egg back and start hatching again. :)
Good luck! We can race for Manaphy. Just be really careful - don't do it too much, since it'll wear you down. I've only done 3, and it's recommended that you go really slowly.
