3rd Gen Coming up on a total of 6 hours SR for that shiny Treecko...

[Shayminate]

Still no luck... :( I'm beginning to think I will never get one.

 

[jirachistar]

Ummmm...you might never get one. Maybe you should stop soon... 6 hours is a long time to wait for a Shiny.

 

[Erbe]

wow, i feel your pain.. goodluck man!

 

[Virtual Chatot]

Eh, 6 hours isn't that long when it comes to Soft Resetting :x;;

It took me at least 13 hours to find my Shiny Mudkip in Ruby :S

 

[SwampertTrainer]

Good luck, but you may just want to see if anyone will trade with you- it'll be a lot faster. A LOT faster. Your chances of finding a shiny are about 1/8026 or some ridiculous number like that.

You spent 13 hours trying to get a shiny Mudkip???

 

[Luck]

Why would anyone try Sring?
its just a waste of the most valuable thing to anyone...time!
I just get a shiny if I see one.
sure, friends would be envious if they saw a shiny that i had, but thats all.
i tried the same thing before about a shiny shuppet, but found nothing.

 

[ScyKinG]

Yea, but Shayminate really wants one lol, he was at my house yesterday and spent a good 2 hours trying to get 1 / yelling at his game when he didn't get 1 XD

 

[T-C]

I have never come across a shiny in the whole time I've been playing pokemon games. And I've completed all the generations.

 

[timmieboy1995]

You really should stop, it isnt worth that much time...

 

[SwampertTrainer]

I agree. Like I said earlier- if you want one that bad, just get someone who will trade with you.

 

[Guitar God in Training]

6 hours is nothing, I'm past 20 hours total for a shiny Groudon.
Only took 40 minutes for Rayquaza though.
Decide now whether you really want that shiny because there is a chance that you could soft reset for an eternity and never find it.

 

[SwampertTrainer]

What is ''Soft Reset?'' Another cheat?

 

[Nevermelt_Snow]

ahh how sad T_T

I have never come across a shiny in the whole time I've been playing pokemon games. And I've completed all the generations.

i already got a total of 5 shiny pokemon (namely Lotad, Parasect, Geodude, Psyduck, but all of them are deleted my file got corrupted T_T but my 5th and most precious shiny pokemon Beldum is still alive and now its a metagross Lvl - 55 ) I Spent a minimun of 5 hours everyday breeding a Pokemon and luckily i got a shiny Beldum. muwhahahaha what a lucky guy i am.

And My Lucky Friend saw a Shiny Rattata and Destroyed with a Hyper Beam And Never Saw One Ever Again i think Its A Bad Karma... so any one saw a shiny pokemon capture it upon contact and if you do not like it just let it go don't ever kill it like my Lucky Friend did.

sOFT REset is when you press A+B+Select+Start,then it will reset,its a technique used for obtaining shiny pokemon(beware,you need patience)

 

[Rogue planet]

Is it really worth that amount of time just for a shiny? Its not that great...

 

[SwampertTrainer]

A. Do I need a cheating device to do this?
B. If not, does it have potential to damage my system?

 

[JKLAZ]

A. Do I need a cheating device to do this?

A. Nope. just hold the buttons down and the game will reset
Its just like turning off except you dont have to power down the system and start the game again

B. As far as i know, it doesnt. I have done it numerous times with no damage

Some people actually want the shiny and don't think it's a waste of time. It's more of an investment, if you will.
