Are you for real? If so, then I can make this a lot less painless for me..
Well I haven't heard of that rumor, but I assume if it were true, the idea of ID playing a role in the Masuda Method would've come up, but again, I haven't heard anything about it. If it's not too much trouble, you can go catch a Ditto in your game, but I'm like 99% sure there's no difference.
To clarify, soft resetting the same egg will not work, which is what I thought you meant. Yes, you can save before you collect the egg, and shut it off afterwards, but I don't see that saving more time.
I would hope i'm real or someone is having a really boring dream about a guy posting on a pokemon forum :/.
Anyway yes soft reset works fine. Choose which pokemon you want to breed e.g. a jpn ditto and your own region charmander, leave them with the daycare woman then leave the building. wait until the man outside is facing forwards which indicates he has an egg for you, save before talking to him. Once saved either take the first egg or refuse it, does not matter which as that egg will always be the same no matter how many times you reset, after that ride up and down route 7 until your party has 5 eggs (make sure you have a pokemon with warm body/magma armour in your party). Having the egg hatching o power helps speed up the process too.
Once your party is full fly to lumiose city and head to prism tower, equip your bike/roller skates then take a coin like a penny and gently lodge in to the right or left of your thumbstick, this will cause your character to move without you touching the ds. This method ensures your character continues to move around prism tower without stopping which will make the eggs hatch without you having to move the character yourself, just make sure you put the ds down nearby so you can go through the messages/animantion when each egg hatches. If after all 5 eggs hatch and no shiny then just soft reset and repeat the process until you have said shiny.
This is the method I followed and as I said I've had 4 shinys out of it so far.
Good lord. I'm well over 1000 hatched now with ZERO Honedge shinies. I'm losing my MIND.
It's soul crushing to hear that someone has found 4 shiny pokemon in 200 eggs while I haven't found the stupid one I'm chasing in over 1000.

250 charmanders deep right now. No shiny. Got a shiny Relicanth but I mean Relicanth........cmon :/ If anybody wants a hasty nature charmander you can swap me anything, I need to get rid of these guys.
I literally just hatched my shiny charmander on 278th egg. My girlfriend screamed! I had japanese safari ditto holding destiny knot and hasty charmander holding everstone. Hopefully that clears up some of your paranoia. I really hope you get yours soon bro keep grinding!
