Finally bought the game today, and I am progressing nicely. Started playing around an hour or two ago, and am on my way to getting the second badge. I started out with Piplup, and caught a Shinx, Starly, Bidoof, and Budew. Currently at Ravaged Pass.

Yesterday I caught 2 shiny ponytas (which are my favorite shiny) and I was really happy, even though it took about 60 max repels for the first shiny patch to show up for some reason. Well after my first shiny I just chained as high as I could. I got to 51 and then a tauros broke it. I'll try for...
I caught my second shiny using the pokeradar and I got a shiny Bidoof. I only got one because I got bored but that's good enough for me. Next is either starly, shinx, ponyta, or my swarm (spoink)
