Well this is a bummer... my only DS Lite's R button is officially broken.
I thought maybe it was just that I wasn't pushing it right, pushed the buttons to SR and nothing.
It was bound to happen eventually, although now it can't be used to SR anymore...
My hunts resulted in nothing and currently MMing.
Well, you could still SR by turning the DS Lite off and on. That definitely works, and all my SR hunts up to now have been done that way. It's just longer for each individual SR.
Meanwhile, I've reached 9000 RE's in my BQ, bringing me ever closer to the long side of my hunts so far. My current average of my BQ hunts is at about 80% of the odds, so it's anyone's guess when I should expect a shiny. I'm still hoping to see something soon though, or at least sooner than my last BQ hunt. Meanwhile, good luck to everyone else!
