Wow, OMGOMG! Major congrats on the Latias, Fufu! (I'm still going to call you that, because it's the most unique name you've been using. ;)) Now I really need to get Chikorita!
MetalMario: Congratulations on the Delibird!
Thank you.
Well, it seems that I'm cursed to never get more than one shiny from a chain, since after about another hour after catching my first shiny Delibird (at a chain of 41), my chain broke on a fruity little Meditite. After firing off the radar, I went back to reading some posts here. When I got back to my game, I
thought I remembered where the grass shakes were, so I moved down to begin walking back and forth recharging the radar, only for a battle to begin. My chain was at 44. Being familiar with LoadingNOW's formula, the only additions to my chain past 40 were "false positives"--grassy patches which looked somewhat shiny patch-like (especially easy a mistake to make amidst all that snow) and I entered.
My frigging Jolly syncher didn't work and the guy turned out Relaxed, but at least he has Hustle. =/ Looks like I have another addition to my armada of untouched shinies I haven't found the time to properly EV.
Pictures will be coming soon. I think WMM just crashed without saving my video (I left my comp on all night) so it's just going to be plain old stat screens.
I also have a method by which I can take sharp, emulator-style screenshots of my actual shinies with. I don't know if it's okay with PC's rules for me to discuss it, since my method can also be used for piracy. Maybe I just shouldn't bother making these screenshots, since it'll only result in whalelord calling me a cheater. =/
If anyone's curious as to their secret trainer ID, PM me to trade me a poke of yours with the concerned ID.
Now, back to pictures. I have both a different camera and a different DS, so don't go calling me shifty or anything... xP
