Alright, first day in on my Archen hunt, and I've hatched 30. Slow start, but I can hope, you know? :p What route do you guys hatch on? I get four eggs and ride on route 3, and everytime I get an egg I put it straight in my box, so all four of my eggs hatch at the same time.

Wait...if you hatch 5 eggs, since that means you can't collect another, how do you collect eggs to hatch?

Also, anyone considered the Driftviel Bridge for hatching on? You can get the feather spots for EVs/Good Money, along with it being somewhat long.

Like you I hatch on route 3, I keep a larvesta at the front of my pokemon, keeping the other five slots free, then I just pick up an egg, ride back and forth until he calls me over to pick up the next egg and so on until I have five eggs, which I then hatch. When all five eggs have hatched I box the pokemon, and start over with picking up a new egg. I do this in batches of 30 eggs (or one whole box) to make it easier for me to count the eggs hatched until I get my shiny. If I run out of box space, I release the hatched pokemon before continuing. It serves me well.

Finally got my JP Ditto over from HG, turns out it has 29 IVs in speed (and SpD) so hopefully eggs will be plentiful. Got my Lampent with Flame Body ready now just need to wait for Maractus and Ditto to get frisky.

I do it on Route 3 cycling from Wellspring Cave to the Dreamyard, when 3 have hatched I deposit them so that way I'm never losing time when hes still holding onto eggs.

This is directly relevent to the hunt for shinies by soft resetting:

The Nintendo 3DS sucks for soft resetting since they moved the Select and Start keys to the bottom of the bottom screen. I have the set the 3DS down in order to hit L+R+SELECT+START. It's kind of annoying.

I gave up on my shiny Snivy resetting when I got a female Snivy. I can breed for a shiny Snivy now. :)

My stache' is better
This is teh first time I've ever gone for a shiny pokemon, I want a shiny Snivy. I have a ton of Timid Snivys in my PC right now so if you want one I'd be glad to trade (I don't like to release pokemon. It's a waste of a good snivy.) by PM. I am MMing with a timid jap. girl and american boy snivy.

Well, I'm at about 200 eggs for Zorua. I think I'm about to get a 3DS. I do have a box full of Zorua though. They are Timid with the egg moves Extrasensory, Dark Pulse, Sucker Punch, and Snarl(bark out) so pm me if you want one. I'm only looking for Japanese 5th gen pokes or Japanese pokes with Dream World abilities though.
