I haven't managed to grab anything on X or Y yet - I bought X myself, got Y for my birthday tomorrow and accidentally ended up with a second X for free from a mix up! So I'm playing through the game and avidly soft resetting for a shiny Fennekin.

Anyone heard the rumours of lowered odds? I'm desperately hoping they aren't true...

Huge congrats on the Mareep and anything else you guys have found!

I have heard rumours of a lower odds, but I haven't found one yet but I have been rushing through the game like I always do the first time.Blaziken speed boost is just over powered haha. I haven't used anything else but my EV trained Blaziken.

I would get another 3DS to SR on but seeing how long the SRing takes on X/Y I really don't ever want to do it haha.

How did you end up with a free copy >.> I'm jealous... Need to learn where to get free things in England haha.

There are rumors every generation about lowered odds because everyone is playing the game. More people more shinies!

I am hatching Fennekin, got a JPN one in wonder trade! Already got a box but I need to catch Z-thing.

I also have heard about shinies being more likely in X/Y. I don't own it, though, so I can't share my findings on the matter. Hopefully within the next few months I'll be able to get a hold of a 3DS so I can buy Y version.
In the meantime, I've been meaning to download an Arceus from Pokecheck so I can get the lvl1 Dialga on HG/SS. It isn't for myself...I intend to soft reset for a shiny one as a gift for a friend. This'll be my first shiny hunt in quite a while (I haven't been playing Pokemon much), not including RNG abuse.

Congratulations on the new X/Y shinies I'm seeing popping up here. [:

So I've heard that not only are Xerneas and Yveltal shiny locked, but the other legendaries in X and Y are shiny locked as well. This absolutely infuriates me. How do the rest of y'all feel about it?

I heard someone got a shiny Moltres on X. Now I'm not so sure. I wish they wouldn't shiny lock them all the time. Leaves no way to see them look amazing and special.

What's up everyone? Might not remember because I haven't been active in a while but I was a member here a while back. I'm back playing the games and shiny hunting so I'm having fun again. I had stopped hunting altogether for about eight months but I've been playing again doing some light hunting for a couple days. I lost count on my old hunts so I just started fresh with everything, but I got really lucky and found a shiny today on my Platinum version!

Spoiler:


Took 427 SRs, and she shone on the 2nd SR of the day! Took me completely by surprise, but I'm very happy. I really hoped for a Male because I already had a cool nickname for it, but I'm gonna name this Sassy lil girl something nice too. I'm mainly glad I can finally start playing in Sinnoh for the first time ever, and I'll have a bunch of new pokemon to hunt. Gonna continue my shiny Dratini hunt on SS and Eevee on HG while I play through Platinum a little until I find my next target. Congrats on the shinies caught since I was last here, welcome to the new members, and good luck to all on their hunts! :]

I got a heck of a surprise through my first run through of X on Victory Road.

Got a Shiny Druddigon in a single encounter battle on my first time on victory road. Sorry the in battle is blurry. It was hard to get a picture of just it. Wish they had some kind of 3DS in game screenshot other that the picture ares.

Spoiler:


it's been awhile since I last posted here so I don't know if I can still count as a member but I managed to catch a shiny Pumpkaboo today:
Spoiler:


I really like the colour sceme of it. not going to evolve it yet though in case it's evolution isn't as nice looking.

I'm going to try getting a shiny skrelp by breeding though with all the changes to stuff I'm not sure if the

Masuda method works in x and y...


Ooo I like that shiny. Love the color. It is even more Halloweenish. Very nice shiny to get in October indeed.

Gratz to everyone else who got a shiny.

Hey everyone!

Well last night I got a shiny Roselia after 8,647 RE's on White 2:

Spoiler:


It wasn't what I was hunting for but I'm still happy. Currently I'm hunting Pinsir/Female Combee in White 2 and Black. Also dual hunting Charmander in FireRed/LeafGreen at around 5,000-5,500 SRs. I got Pokemon X on Monday been playing it slowly, initially I was going to SR for a starter but I was just too eager to start playing.

Congrats to everyone on their shinies and good luck on your hunts!

well, i havent been in here in a while. Since July, i do believe. and yes, im still alive.

I picked up my copy of X with full intention of resetting for Froakie (and Charmander) but after 3 days of it not showing up, i decided to just pick up the next female i came across and run with it. i also decided to shiny hunt for my team and whoever shone, was my next party member. Well, after about a day after i took my Froakie and run, this guy appeared:

Spoiler:


yeah, i know, thats a bad pic. here's another:

Spoiler:


the one on the left is mine, which is the shiny one. it's now evolved to its second stage

im hunting Route 3 now (after getting the first badge). mainly hoping for Fletchling, but wouldnt mind Bunnelby or Dunsparce

Edit:

The one Pokemon i didnt want to appear, did:
