Yeah, but it's hard looking for Japanese Pokemon without people demanding atrocious trades.
Edit: Or any foreign Pokemon for that matter.

Really? :0 Usually it's not too hard for me to get foreign pokes on gts. Offering a female starter from my endless MM boxes eventually gets me what I'm looking for.

I even had a super nice person from serebii forums trade me japanese starters asking nothing in exchange. :) so yeah, you might be able to find them on the trade thread.

Man, today I decided to get a lilipup and breed it so I can get five lilipups with the ability pickup(hint hint). The first egg I hatch is a shiny. Shiny lilipup ftw!

Huh, I guess I just have bad luck. I've only tried Serebii and some other forum so far. I tried getting on the GTS many, many times without luck. It's not letting me connect for some odd reason. Well, I guess I could breed some female starters and offer those around to people.

I'm still hatching Rufflet. Soft resetting every five was beginning to feel tedious so now I'm boxing the hatched ones and replacing them with eggs upto a maximum of 35 hatchlings (30 in one box, 5 in my party). Then I SR. I'll also SR early if I hatch all my eggs before the next one is generated. One advantage and disadvantage of this is that my total jumps up as opposed to edging along slowly. It feels like I'm hatching more (though obviously I'm not) but seeing the number getting higher and higher is a little depressing.

Currently at 2,606 hatched. I'm going to do another hour or so tonight. I'm hoping Rufflet shines before 3,000.

SR works for getting a shiny pokemon?

^ew.

Also got a shiny gyrados but it says it "apparently arrived at lv. 31."

while the salamence I also have ends it with "after a long travel through time."

Is this a real shiny Gyra?

Possibly. It could have been transferred at Lv. 31. It's only a one level difference so there's a decent chance.

Depends on what you traded for it I guess. If the person wanted something easily breedable...

Pokemon that have "after a long travel through time" on their Summary come from Gen 3 games, while Pokemon that don't have that come from Gen 4 games. That Gyarados is probably legit, since it probably came from the Lake of Rage in HG/SS.

-points to roughly 5230 eggs hatched count-

Off topic, but, I have both Black and White. Can I play White on the same DS without the Black save peacing out? I'm a little nervous to do so just because of that, as silly as it sounds.

Yeah, it's no problem. The save files are on the chip itself, not on the DS.
