Alright, well, since there are no more complications regarding Aerodactyl, I shall do the update.
Oh, and your time wasn't wasted any more then mine, rsgh5. When you don't see a shiny, thats where the used time goes, it doesn't add up and get disregarded as soon as someone else grabs the shiny your looking for. Basicly, you spent all that time shiny hunting, and, based on avarages (though avarages are technicaly meaningless), that time doesn't go towards aero, it goes toward a shiny pokemon. You can now redirect the remaining time it takes to find a shiny, and help out our dex project with another pokemon, just as good as aerodactyl (for the dex). Or, you could keep it up with aero for your personal shiny collection. Either way, time wasn't wasted.
