• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

Hey everybody. I thought I'd let you guys know how my 4th gen hunts are going.

HG: Badge Quest/Lapras - 10,000 SR << finally a HG BQ shiny that's taking a long time to shine. Yay... >.>
SS: Slowpoke - 320 encounters
Platinum: Badge Quest - 1200 encounters

I've also been noticing that my Heart Gold seems to be freezing every now and then. You know how when you SR, the screen goes white for a moment before it reloads - well it's been staying frozen on the white screen and I've had to switch the DS off and take the cartridge out. I sure hope a shiny Lapras wasn't going to appear on one of the times it's frozen... >_<
Click to expand...

I saw your Headbutt shiny video! Congrats on the shiny. About the freezing, that might be down to the game card being a little out of place. Or it could be something like dust. I don't know, but check for little bits of dust. It might be that...but don't think I'm correct, it's what I've heard. Good luck on the hunts though!

I'm over 2,550 REs now, and I hope it comes before 3,000. I dread a shiny Abra though >.<

If it freezes on the white screen before the game loads, you're not going to miss anything. The game hasn't loaded, so it hasn't generated any potentially shiny pokemon yet =)

A few days ago I chained a Mareep in the car. (never chain in the car, it's ridiculous) I got a shiny Mareep at 24ish!!! Also, I chained a geodude to 55, but then my ds turned red and I was in the car, so yeah. I accidental ran into a machop and so broke my chain, sigh.

Congrats on new shinies, especially the shiny Psyduck - it's a great looking shiny. ^_^ (too bad Golduck doesn't look as nice...)


No new shinies from me, but I'm still hunting. Here are how my current 4th gen hunts are going:

Heart Gold: Badge Quest/Lapras - 12,400 soft resets
Platinum: Badge Quest - 3300 encounters
Soul Silver: Slowpoke - 1035 encounters

Sigh. I wish Lapras would shine already... u_u

Recently captured a shiny Misdreavus while chaining in Pearl version. I got it on an early shiny patch at chain 26 but the chain broke soon after. Oh well congratulations on all recently obtained shinies everyone!

New shiny! After 4756 encounters my 5th Platinum badge quest shiny has appeared... and it's a shiny Buizel, one of the shiny I'd been hoping for. ^_^

Video: shiny Buizel

Now I just want Lapras to hurry up and shine in Heart Gold. I'm currently at 14,000 soft resets for it.

^Congrats! Nice shiny to add to your collection indeed. Lapras will shine soon, for sure!

I am currently focusing on my Skorupi MM hunt in White, so my hunts are on hold otherwise.
