Just another update on my hunt. Not a lot of SRs yet, but I'm at 62/186 seen so far. But I did 20 resets with a stopwatch to see how long it took per reset. Here is my times for the resets.
SR Lap Time
1 1:24.2
2 1:25.6
3 1:26.9
4 1:25.1
5 1:29.2
6 1:28.9
7 1:24.5
8 1:31.5
9 1:21.6
10 1:27.7
11 1:28.9
12 1:25.9
13 1:27.0
14 1:23.5
15 1:25.2
16 1:28.7
17 1:29.1
18 1:28.8
19 1:25.6
20 1:35.9

It looks like it takes me 88.2 seconds on average to complete a reset. That's about 20 resets every 30 minutes. Are all the games this long?

You're hunting on Diamond, correct? Well first of all, when you see the pictures of the pokemon, it won't show if they're shiny or not. You have to select the starter first to see if it's shiny. And Sinnoh SRs take especially long.

Wow dude congrats in the Houndour and the Ditto very cool! Started my new hunt yesterday a Charmander! I hope I get as lucky as I did with my other hunts. Congrats to everyone on the new shiny pokemon and keep up the good work! Cheers!


P.S. If anyone is in need of a charmander let me know I have way too many.

I just ran into a shiny Amoongus on Route 10. It was completly random, and my stupid Rufflet got a critical hit with slash and KO'd it. WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHYYYYYY!!!

Heliotrope

it shone! ^_^
.... HUH?!

I noticed that somebody just posted this video on youtube: Live shiny RESHIRAM in White 2

Wait - so Reshiram/Zekrom CAN be shiny in B/W 2 after all?! O_O If this is true then I am delighted.



Edit: That's the same video I posted, Corroded Arceus. And I notice that they've now made that video private for some reason... I don't see why they would have cheated; they have plenty of other legit looking shiny videos on there.

Egg 125!
Video of a shiny Reshiram that has already been taken down or marked as private?

Smells fishy.

Then again, I am suspect to a lot of the videos on YouTube of shinies, simply because of how un-surprised people are with their shinies. I'm freaking out when I see one, people on YouTube are often like "meh, another shiny, 100 eggs, isn't this neat?"

If I'm being COMPLETELY honest, I think that Pokechecking all shinies to prove their validity should be encouraged/required.

The last thing I'd want someone to do is question the validity of my shinies, because for as hard as I work for them I don't want them to be taken away from me because someone thinks I hacked them.

Congrats on your Exeggcute, and Bill's Eevee can definitely be shiny, I've seen videos of it live on Youtube.

Personally, I'd imagine that this Reshiram is semi-legit, since it was confirmed awhile ago that it can't be shiny. It could even be hacked, since they already made the video private.

Anyway, I'm up to 809 Ponytas and 795 Blitzles (1604 total) and I just finished storing another 360 eggs. I'd be really happy if one of these Pokemon shone before 2k eggs total, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they won't. Good luck to everyone else on their hunts!
