    I really liked the difficulty in this game after beating it. X/Y was so easy that I think I underestimated it.

    I am LOVING Omega Ruby. The DexNav is an amazing feature, I love being able to catch Pokemon with an !, whether it's an insane level, egg move or hidden ability. I really, really, hope that stays in Sun & Moon, surely it will...?

    I think my only issue with ORAS is the sprites for flying Pokemon. They're, aside from Swablu & Altaria, flat-winged and floating and it looks really stupid. I've just got the Latios and it just looks like an aeroplane on cruise control. Swellow, too. Really hope they make Flying-type sprites more imaginative in Gen VII.

    I honestly disliked all the Gen 6 Pokémon models, but the birds are especially bad.

    The rest of the game though omg it was amazing :)

    We have XY and its Sky Battle mechanic to blame for this, since for a Pokemon to even be eligible they needed to be flying in their model as well as have the Flying-type or Levitate. Badly executed if you ask me.

    I think the shiny charm is a key item, so it cannot be traded. However there are plenty of tips on catching shiny Pokemon around the web. Play around with the DexNav. I guess that's the equivalent of the PokeRadar in this generation, but so much better. Type "shiny chaining" into google and start from there, if you haven't heard about that yet. I'd say that's probably the easiest *legit* way to get shiny Pokemon.

    I don't know about you guys, but having a search level of 432 for an eevee without having any shiny is just disappointing and just pure bad luck T-T

    Am i really this unlucky or am i doing this shiny chain wrong. Here is what i did:

    - got my shiny charm
    - max repel always on
    - used the dexnav to search for Eevee on route 116
    -occasionally after 100+ chains, "Could not be found at this time" pops up
    idk if that breaks the chain, but my guess is that it breaks the chain so i reset the search count to zero.
    -used around 20 leppa berry
    -the lurking through grass is always perfect, none of the pokemons ran away.

    So can you guys tell me if i am just really unlucky??

    It does break the chain if I'm correct. I've never chained via DexNav but I know that it breaks the chain.

    I could also use a shiny charm.. Doing a shiny only plythrough and my luck isnt great :p Are shiny charms actually tradeable?

    I believe someone mentioned it was a key item, which makes sense. So no trading?

    It's a Key Item, so it can't be traded.

    Ehhh??? All shiny??? How are you going to do that... sounds a bit crazy :p

    It is :P I doubt I will make it, but I'm just collecting as many as I can.
    The goal is to keep me busy until Sun & Moon come out :) and maybe even breed a few perfect pokemon to play through S&M. (Maybe even a shiny vulpix 6IV egg that I will hatch in alola ?! Presuming that works though :D)

    PokeCommunity offers a nice trading ground so that helps a bunch. Keep in mind that when I started this goal of a Shiny Only playthrough, I didn't know about PC :P

    I believe I have around 15/721 Shinies.. Almost there :)
