4th Gen Did You Soft-Reset?

[インフェルノの津波]

Did you soft reset for Starters, Legendaries etc. so far? If so, did you succeed?

As for myself, 100 SR's and still counting for a Totodile. It's annoying, but in the end I know it'll be worth it.

 

[Detox]

So far I have SR'd for Lugia, Zapdos, Suicune, and Moltres. All are timid natured with Moltres as my only acception (its modest), and have 25+ in key stats.

 

[FireApe2135]

I SR'ed to try to get a shiny Ho-oh, did it about 150 times over the course of two days... Gave up and instead went for one with a nuetral nature.

 

[Star Girl]

I SRed in an attempt to get a female Cyndaqul. After no success and extreme frustration I just stuck with a male one.

 

[Jake♫]

I SRed my Cyndaquil for a Timid nature, just because it's what is best for it. That, and I just catch a lot of copies of stuff until I get something suitable (Modest Mareep, Water Absorb Wooper).

That competitive battling sure makes you anal about that stuff!

 

[Phantom Kat]

I SR'ed for a Jolly Male Totodile, and I'm planning to SR for a shiny Lugia after I beat Clair; I might also SR for a shiny Ho-Oh later on, too. I know it'll take a LONG while, but that might give me the shove I need to take a break from Soul Silver and finish Phantom Hourglass. :p

[Codysseus]

I think it is funny how so many people try so hard to get a female and literally just now after 6 soft resets I got one.

 

[CoffeeWolf]

Question.. is SRing the same as just turning the game off and on?

If so, I do SR. I did for my starter's nature, and I do it with gift Pokemon to get the nature I want.

 

[silvanarrow]

I'm currently soft-resetting for a Timid Lugia (I actually prefer him non-shiny) and have caught him about a dozen times with no success. Ah well, the Heavy Balls have been working like a charm, so each catch attempt has gone pretty smoothly. I'm on spring break right now, so I'm prepared to settle in and catch him over and over...and over again until it works.

 

[Calvo819]

i got a female chikorita as soon as i started the game :D

 

[TheAppleFreak]

I'm not going to bother with SRing. I'mma RNG abuse!

Planning on getting a shiny Suicune at the very least.

 

[Xnenai]

Because i really wanted to today, i fully reset my heart gold 6 times, and SRed for about an hour each time (3 outta the 6 ) so i can get male and female starters, i knew there are easier ways but those options arent avalible to me.

also

Whats the benifit of SRing for a pokemons nature? O_o

 

[TrinityLimit]

ugh, i hate SR'ing, but its worth it in my opinion. i got a shiny suicine in about idk, 1000 SR's? (2 days of SR'ing)

its very tedious -.-

 

[BHwolfgang]

Ugh, I soft reset my game for a timid, female Cyndaquil, but it always come out as a male with a neutral nature. :[

 

[Yukiiye]

I'll usually SR while watching TV so it doesn't seem so horribly tedious. Although, I've never successfully accomplished a shiny. I'm not competitive in Battles so I have yet to try with Natures.

 

[akamichi]

ive tried soft resetting but -_- no luck it takes forever to get shinys.

 

[jolteon.]

I tried to get a Jolly/Adamant male totodile and got it on my second try.
Tried to get a modest male eevee, but ended up with a timid one. Awesome! saved it, checked again, female. Not what I wanted. I bred about 50 eevees to get a modest one. =A=

 

[Panique]

I might SR for my legendary's natures, and maybe for a shiny Snorlax (but I can safely say now that I'll get way too bored of that), and perhaps my starter's nature, but not much else.

 

[Pearls_Barf]

I have been Soft-Reseting for 9 days to get a Shiny Ho-oh! 9 DAYS!!!!! oh man I have reset the game thousands of times with no luck...

 

[Niprop]

I got modest Lugia upon first capture with a heavy ball. It was close enough to what I wanted, so there.
