[It's Just Fufu]

I'd have to say a combination of both, most likely not shuffling the numbers enough on Ruby. I've hunt on Ruby longer than I have on Emerald (7 months>2 months), and when I was hunting for Latias on Ruby, I almost never did anything else. Maybe I left the island once or twice to soft reset for Beldum for thirty minutes, but that was it.

The fact that I statistically have a higher chance to find five shinies in a row than to soft reset for this long deeply angers me as well...

Edit before I post: When you say "lost time" do you mean seeing the same Pokemon over and over again?

Edit2: MM, you're on post LEET.

I want to join please please xD thanks

for the piplup,torchic, chimchar, and charizard which was a charmander, i bred them with a ditto whos been in the daycare for my entire game...right now ditto has been with every pokemon i owned to create babies XD and i took the time out to hatch those eggs and eventually found them....it took FOREVERRRRRRRRR but it was worth it...my game time is almost going on 800 hours =[...im afriad to play it more because i get the feeling that if it gets to too many hours it might restart and i will lose my pokemon....Latias was in my pokemon emerald game which i migrated to my diamond game...As for Dialga, it was just soft resetting after fighting the members of team galaxy...this is all the truth

[Dragon Tamer Ed]

Hey all. I'm back, and I aquired quite a shiny haul over my week of absence. Consisting of 2 Venomoths, 2 Magnemites, and a Shinx. Plus the Shinx and one of the Venomoths are actually Male. I'll get the pics as soon as my dad clears some space for them.

I got MK Armageddon yesterday so I've been playing that a lot, but I am still shiny hunting, usually secretly in bed. Right now I'm going for Regigigas.

[ZaChAttAck101]

sweet!!! thats kool dood...

[Yami_Zidane]

Seems like so much happens while I'm gone

I've been away for about 5 days so didn't get much hunting done, though I got a solid 2 hour block in on the way home, though to no avail.

When I get Diamond and DS that works (UK residents, if you wish to help me out with that by doing a very simple no strings online offer just PM me, I would really appreciate it [/end plug]) I am soooo going to catch up quite a lot, I hope at least.

I have no comment on the new dude, ZaChAttAck101 as well I wasn't around while all the drama was going on and to be honest I haven't read all of it.

Good luck to all!

[ZaChAttAck101]

lol....i guess the drama must be a big issue in this thread huh =(.....

[Shadow Chaos]

-.-' No luck with me so far... Every search I go for usually ends in a dud. Both Ralts and Buneary chains break before the wanted goal, and Snorunt... well I've only been able to start 1 Snorunt chain in all the times I've tried... Oh well, I'm going to go start a chain for Ralts.

Congratulations to those with new Shinies!

[rapid whalelord]

sorry ive been gone a while ive benn playing pearl and no im not looking for shines because im training to beat the elite 4

p.s. ivefail in lot of my searches =[

[ZaChAttAck101]

Shadow Chaos- dont worry, you'll find your shiny soon!!! my first one w/o notice until i heard the sound was a shiny blue gastrodon which i traded away for a milotic =(

rapid whalelord- good luck with the elite four...i lost to them about 7 or 8 times the first time i attempted to face them

[Shadow Chaos]

Yes! It has happened, with that chain that I started last night, I got what I have been searching for since I got Ruby all those years ago: A Shiny Female Ralts!!! But the best part, I gots twins!!! XD

11:31PM - The 36th Ralts I encountered was the first Shiny patch I saw for Ralts! Caught her and named her Aoi!

12:42AM - The 53rd Ralts was the second Shiny patch I saw, caught her and named her Rei*!

12:59AM - Chain broken at 64 by Zubat! Didn't care as I got my most wanted Shiny!

*Almost missed and didn't see this one as I was watching BLEACH!

Well, now all that there is left is Charmander, Buneary (F), and Snorunt (F)! XD

[ZaChAttAck101]

lol!!!sweet dood....thats gotta be a huge success for the day huh?? XD

[Lil-Dill]

Ok I seriously wish my character in the game had a gun. Because I got up to a 74 chain with Roselia and then BANG a Staravia appears again. I want to shoot tht damn bird. I swear its getting annoying but ill keep going...GAWSH!

[Dark Steelix Lv X]

Hey all lol. Haven't posted in a while again :p Anyways congrats MM on the 2 shinies, especially the Rotom!! Lol you're lucky with synchronize, timid nature totally owns mine's useless Sassy nature x__x I'm still Sring for Giratina, did at least 11 hours of SRing over the weekend and another 4 yesterday, no luck yet. Today though I found a used Pearl at EB games and I bought it. So now I can get some things I've been meaning to go for like Spiritomb and misdreavus. And as extra bonus surprise, the previous save file on the used pearl had some random luck. Seems like the guy managed to catch a Shiny Cacnea randomly LOL. The guy caught it in a master ball, but I think he just imported cloned ones from emerald since he has 12 or so in his bag as well as several TMS and rare candies. All the pokemon in the game seem perfectly legit so I don't think the guy hacked any pokemon. Should I count this Cacnea for my count? Its untouched as well, and the guy caught it on my Birthday (july 3rd) feels sentimental... Good luck to everyone on their hunts!

[ZaChAttAck101]

Lil-Dill- why use guns when you can be like link and kill it the old fashion way!!! ARROWS XD!!!

Dark Steelix-wow that does seem random dood!!! well i hope you get the shinies you Sring for?? (SRing does mean Searching right??)

I could sure use that Sassy on my Bronzor.

The thing is, everyone is going to think I copied you in hunting shiny Rotom, even though we started around the same time.

Based around consistency with the existing rules, I don't think that the Cacnea should count. It's a shiny from a stranger, which is about the same as those off the GTS or from peeps in the wi-fi chat. What if the previous owner had cloned their Cacnea and put it onto one of their other games before selling? Or if the OT is different, it may have just been found off the GTS randomly by the previous owner. The point is that you can never know, so we err on the side of not inflating shiny rosters.

I haven't been playing much, as I got the M3 DS Simply media player for my birthday and have been playing around with that mostly. I have been doing some Chikorita breeding on Emerald and a little Battle Towerage on Diamond, but you don't get shinies from the BT, just shiny heartaches. (I haven't seen any shinies there. ... Yet.) I've just finished off my ninth generation of Chikoritas, and have yet to see a Bold Female. I have three "reject" females, whom I'm going to Pal Park and pawn off on the GTS. :D

@Zach: SRing is short for Soft Resetting. I find it sounds a little silly, so I don't say it much.

[ZaChAttAck101]

lol...o0o ok...im kinda new to this new language yall use on the site...BTW Happy Belated bday dood!!! i wanted to tell you yesterday but idk if you accept PM's so yea...hope you had fun

Anywho im going to bed because it 10:15 my time right now and i really dont feel to well =(... g nite everyone

[It's Just Fufu]

I just realized that I'm not using my Sapphire for anything.

Maybe I should go for another shiny Treecko...

[ZaChAttAck101]

lol...why another shiny treecko fu-fu?? why not a shiny torchic or mudkip

[It's Just Fufu]

Shiny Treecko looks better than shiny Torchic and family, and shiny Mudkip and family. Furthermore, I'd like to have clones of a shiny Treecko.

[Lil-Dill]

Yea and it makes more sense if u want to trade.

Btw I cant shiny hunt for bout a week because Im going to kingston ontario NOT JAMAICA for a week on the 14th so until then I really HOPE I get that Roselia. I have that feeling Im not even close to getting a Growlithe.

[Dragon Tamer Ed]

Regigigas hunt not going well but I am close to completely finishing Armageddon's Konquest mode.

Maybe I should hunt more shiny Dragon Pokemon. But that's for another time. And congrats to anyone else who got a shiny since I've been away. (For the week, I mean).

[ZaChAttAck101]

fufu- yea u do have a point about shiny treecko so i have to agree with both you and lil-dill on that 1...

Dragon tamer Ed- Good Luck with the regigigas hunting

[Lil-Dill]

Ok Im up to a 52 chain with Roselia. I really hope a Staravia or some other pokemon pops out and breaks my chain.
With Growlithe I have 450 approx tht much eggs hatched. Im not sure...

EDIT: 500TH POST!!!

Lol yeah I remember we started sring for Rotom around the same time too, I even suggested we race for it If I recall right :p Lol Bronzor has been a future target of mine for a long time, heh though I planned on hunting it with magnet pull in wayward cave, I'll probably hunt for it in my 2nd pearl now. Sorry if it seems like I'm copying you though x__x

Yeah too bad about the Cacnea, it has the same ID as the trainer so he caught it himself, but its true that its from a stranger oh well... I'll still keep it as a cool souvenir thingy.

Lol Fufu if you do go for treecko again hope you don't run into that evil pooch. I'm still Sring for Giratina on Diamond, no luck yet. Good luck to everyone on their hunts!
