    So is anyone else breeding for a shiny Torchic/Treecko/Mudkip to bring into their OR/AS games at launch?

    I think I'm going to start breeding for a shiny Treecko with perfect IVs and the ability Unburden.

  • I'm not one who tries to breed shinies, especially given how much effort has to go into it. Even moreso when one wants perfect IVs and hidden abilities. Also, as I only have one 3DS I cannot trade in 6th Gen right now.

  • I wonder if they'll limit when we're able to trade or access the bank somehow, like they have in previous games.

  • I never breed for shiny Pokémon. I'm way too lazy for that.
    For me breeding perfect IVs is a pain, and something that takes a lot of patience.

    I'm not intending to breed anything for ORAS either. I just want to play a good old Nuzlocke Challenge.

  • I'm actually breeding for a shiny Mudkip for a while now, and I already got a shiny Torchic..
    but I will still use the original starter I'll pick in Alpha Sapphire anyway ^_^

    I have a pc box full of level 1 shiny pokemon I was planning on building up for competitive play but was too lazy to so I guess I will transfer one or 2 of them over.

  • I wasn't planning on breeding starters, but I recieved a shiny Mudkip through Wondertrade. I might use it as a starter since I already have it, especially since it has a nickname that fits my usual naming pattern.

  • Not much interested in shiny starters, I'm actually shiny breeding for other team members - have my shiny Zangoose, next up I'm going for a shiny Poochyena. Those are the shinies I want the most for my first team.

    I'm pretty sure I already have a shiny Mudkip in my X. I've never started with a water type so this might be a good time to try it. As for stats I never really got into that so I doubt I'll do it this time.

  • Yeah I already have a shiny Treecko in my Pokemon Y game so I am considering sending that over. I doubt i will play through the story with it though, I prefer to use the starter i get and then i will use my flawless ones for competitive battles later on, I think.

  • I want to use the in-game starter, but I'm fine with transferring in my shinies that I've never used. I have a shiny Poochyena and a Pidgey I've caught in 3rd gen post-game that never saw the light of day... It only took 10 years to use them.

    I'm stoked to transfer the shiny Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza that I got myself.

    The task of breeding a shiny at the start of a game seems unnecessarily complex for me. So, instead I will keep my initial starter as is and worry about such things after I have completed the game.
