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 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.

Nah, with starters I tend to go with what I get.
Besides, all Mudkips are perfect anyway

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 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.

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.

Well, I got an Absol and Torchic that I hatched the TSV way. once I get my game, probably Alpha Sapphire, I'm picking Torchic, and trading those 2 in as soon as possible!

Lol I have to be the laziest one here.

I am too lazy to breed shinies. I am too lazy to breed for perfect ivs.

The only thing I do is breed for the right nature and characteristic, then I be like okay...and pray as it is leveling up (after EV training) that it's stats will turn out great.

Then by time it is at level 50, it is a good indication of how it's lvl 100 stats will be, and if they are 10 off from the max attack, special attack, defense, etc that I want, meh, I'll still keep it. As long as it looks like it has like 20 evs.

I get attached to the Pokemon lol, like people, they aren't going to be perfect lol. Accept them as they are.

Honestly it's something I thought about but then I remembered that I'm going with Treecko and to me his normal colour palette suits it way better (his Mega colours are also PERFECTION!!) so I won't be doing that, although I might have a go breeding for other members of my team on X for a while until ORAS comes out :)

Now, I do like these starters, but there is NO WAY I would try to put my time into going for something that impractical. At least not this late in the year when I have so much work to take care of outside of here...
