~ArmyGuy's Shiny Challenge~
 
~Shiny Hunter Challenge~

Alright Guys, I noticed alot of challenges around here; but never a Shiny Challenge. So I'm making one. I do expect this challenge to take a good while; but hey, It'll be fun!

Now for the oh-so-important rules:
1. This IS a race!! The first person finished will get a special banner made by your's truly!

2. You may only SR [Soft-Reset] for THREEout of six shinies needed!

3. To win you must have a full team of shinies!

4. I expect screenshots as proof of shinies.

5. Update frequently with news on shiny encounters and SR attempts.

6. You may do this on any Advance Gen. game.

7. NO CHEATING DEVICES WHATSOEVER!

Have fun, and happy hunting!


Entrants:
TwilightBlade; current Shiny count: 1
Gallade of the Sand; current Shiny count: 1? Waiting for proof of capture
Post Office Buddy; current Shiny count: 1? Waiting for proof of capture

It'd take forever, and why did you type white, to make people hightlight it to see it? <_<

i know it would, it's for fun

as for the text; my bad, my theme makes all the text white. so when i changed colors from yellow, i naturally changed it to white.

It could take forever to find one(in R/S/E), and it may take some time in P/D/Pt. Sometimes it could be coincidence, like finding a shiny Steelix in Victory Road(like mine).

Can you really wait that long long?

welshice November 14th, 2008 4:16 AM

wow...I've been playing emerald/ruby for about 2 years now and I have never come across a single shiny...

Sublime November 14th, 2008 6:47 AM

Of course i can wait that long, thats why i made this challenge.

Besides, if you already have access to a Breeding Daycare in one of your games, it wont take as long. Just hacth as many eggs as you can in one day.

StrickeN November 14th, 2008 6:59 AM

It wouldn't take too long in
D/P/Pt as you get the PokeRadar

Post Office Buddy November 14th, 2008 9:25 AM

What if you already have a shiny (I have Aggron already). Does that one count?

Yeah, but it'll still take time and energy.

i guess i'll let you use 1 previous shiny. That way coupled with the 3 SR's you only need 2 random encounters/ egg hatched shinies.

It's about time somebody thought it was fun. I think people just dislike challenge >_>

People don't dislike challenges, they just dislike getting a team of Pokemon that you have a 1/8167 chance to get.

Which is a challenge

Anywho, just gonna wait for a few avid Shiny Hunters to come along and join.

burgaz62 November 15th, 2008 8:15 PM

I don't know why everyone hates it if it's not compulsory. Don't ruin everyone elses fun. i might do it. i'll have a think about it and get back to you

Post Office Buddy November 15th, 2008 11:01 PM

Hmm, I might have to do that after I finish my Pokedex on Sapphire (just bought it lol. My Ruby version is completely, and I mean COMPLETELY, finished aside from XD, Colosseum, and Nintendo Event Pokemon. Might just go fishing for a shiny Carvanha on Sapphire for a while on Feebass route.

TwilightBlade November 16th, 2008 10:09 AM

Eee, I love a challenge. Sign me up. ^_^

So we have to fish/breed/battle to get the other 3? Okay, that may be too much.. But we'll see.

..Find a new full team of shinies, or can this be anything you have hunted before the challenge?

Then again, I don't think you should count previous SR/Random shinies. I have 4 from this gen. This is a challenge, so we'd have to start from scratch, lower the shiny count, or set a time limit to make it fair for everyone.

Sweet!

Also, i will allow 1 previous shiny.

Ok then.

As stated in the rules, i need picture proof of the capture.

TwilightBlade November 16th, 2008 12:45 PM

My shinies are shown here. That should suffice. I'll count my shiny Poochyena, since it was my first and a random encounter.. =P

Alright then! Now get to SR'ing/Fishing/Battling/Hatching! xD

Post Office Buddy November 16th, 2008 2:56 PM

It'll be a while before I can post any pics of my shinies. I'm camera challenged at the moment. Just have to wait for my roommate to return with my camera before I can take pics.

Ok. But to be fair to the rest, none of your shinies will count until I get picture proof.

Post Office Buddy November 16th, 2008 3:18 PM

I understand that, and I should be able to get picture proof by the end of the week or so. I am a strong advocate of fair play, and that is more than acceptable.
