Sorry I am not sure what you mean about the encounters.
Chaining was great. It took me all day , similar to your story but split up in intervals. But we kept catching them so it took longer as well. Shinx is so pretty, I will be getting that shiny luxray once I restart D/P with my girlfriend (which will actually be platinum)
Woah woah, I just thought: Can't you chain in trophy garden for Eevee? I mean that would make life so much easier no? I can't beleive someone got those eggs so quick, sometimes I'm skeptical of people on that site, but then again can I talk?
Yeah Paganism can be really rough... I think you're too open minded but that is just me and I think your choice can be beneficial for you .
