tell me your method? i just ride back and forth in front of the day care and when one hatches i just replace it with a new one. Chandelure and Litwick acting as incubators. do you all gather eggs first then hatch them all and replace them all or do you hatch and replace as you go?

I personally hatch eggs 5 at a time, right after getting an egg I deposit it, when I have 4 in there and I get a fifth, I withdraw them and run to the Dreamyard(because it's an awesome sounding place to hatch :p) and hatch them, check their IV's to see if I want to keep any, maybe replace a parent, then go again. I use Pokecheck to figure out the IV's the fastest. Depending on the Pokemon, if it's just for collecting and not actual use, I might just ignore the IV's(RNG can be used for competitive ones anyways, MMing is more for the collector :p)

I usually fill 2 or 3 boxes in my pc on one day and then the next day I mass hatch them on the really long bridge before Castelia city. This method is probably slower, but I think it's more relaxing and less frustrating. I'd do whatever you like tough cuz there's not much of a difference time wise between the two.

I hatch my charmanders as I get them, deposit them as they hatch. If I have 5 eggs in my party I don't get another until the next hatching. Chandelure is my incubator.

Also, I have a question. How come sometimes eggs hatch on the very next step after another hatches? I get two in a row quite a bit and got 3 in a row once.

Let's go to the beach, each.
Yeah, I've decided to wait a while before I start a new Shiny hunt. I was about ready to use the Masuda Method to get some Deino eggs and hatch for a Shiny, but I'm exhausted and I have no time to hatch eggs while I'm focusing on my Shiny Frillish hunt. Speaking if that hunt: I've done another 100 or so random encounters in the water near Driftveil City. Still no Shiny Frillish to be found, but I'm fairly positive that I'll find it soon. I'm going to be doing at least another 200 random encounters for it today, so that should help my search quite a bit :)

The way I do it, all 4 eggs I'm working on usually hatch in a row. I keep four eggs and Volcarona in my party and pick up and deposit eggs pretty much as they're ready. Whenever the four I'm working on hatch (as mentioned, usually in a row), I got pick up another four out of my box. I believe it's because they are all ready to hatch, but only one can hatch per step.

Those are possible, the only ones that aren't are Reshiram/Zekrom, Victini, and the Zorua and Zoroark events from bringing over the Celebi and one of the shiny beasts with the relocater.

I can see that, but I never deposit my eggs. The only time I deposit eggs is after I've filled three boxes with charmanders, so they're usually separated by a couple laps up and down Route 3.

Reshiram/Zekrom aren't possible even if you meet them on top of Dragonspiral Tower? I think if your boxes and party are full you can't catch them in N's Castle and they show up there post story. I think I saw somewhere that said of you KO them in N's Castle they reappear in the Tower as well. I could be wrong.

The shinyness on them is still impossible on those. Been proven somewhere in the beginning of this topic. :p

Agh, why won't Virizion shine for me? It's been days and I really want to battle Cynthia with my current all shiny team. Must trudge on! Lucky REs turned into unlucky SRs, apparently. Already I've seen two people get their pink Virizions since my last post, so bless their DS systems and souls.

Oh well, at least I don't have a nasty purple tint anymore and I love the 3DS's sound quality. :(
