doodlecloud, I'm asking because I really want to get the shiny starter and I feel as though I'm doing something wrong because I haven't gotten one after 5,000+ SRs. It's a combo of my OCD and weirdness. Also, sorry for being off topic and hopefully I'll be able to get a shiny starter soon.
No problem, I just wanted to make sure I was answering right.
Unfortunately there's not much more to it but you're decently over the odds now so I'm sure something will shine soon!
So I'm having major laptop issues atm...I congratulated everyone and wrote out a whole post last night, only for my laptop to crash for like the fifth time that night before I could send it. >.< I think it's just something loose in the charge-y battery bit for now so I'll take it to the repair shop tomorrow but to be honest, the whole things is pretty old and falling apart....I think it may be time to start thinking about a new one. In any case, atm I'm on my parents laptop which has some dodgey new version of paint so I can't be asked to update my signature but I do have some news and photos.
But first, congratulations to
Shabadoo on Chimchar (AMAZING luck),
Shao-May on Rotom,

Anyways, two days ago now I think, I was hunting in bed and it was 1:30 so I told myself I'd just do a few more before bed....and I'm really glad I did as I ran into a Shiny Wooper! It was
5994 REs overall. I totally wasn't expecting HG to shine so quickly, especially before X! A bit of a shame it wasn't a male as I like the double gill/whisker thingies and my other Wooper was a female too....but she's evolved into a beautiful shiny Quagshire now so I guess it doesn't matter.

In other news, my French copy of pokemon White arrived. It already had a file so I snooped around and it had a number of shinies, including 3 lvl 1 Shiny Beldum (which, given there were boxes of normal Beldum, I suppose had been MMd), and a legit looking Shaymin on it! Only problem is I'm pretty picky about stuff like that, I don't even really trade for version exclusives if I can help it as I like to have 'earned' my own pokemon. But legitimate Shaymin are like golddust...fortunately my boyfriend said he'd take it off me, along with some of the MMd pokemon that looked like they had great IVs. So, they're safely on his cartridge and I'm going to SR for a shiny Tepig. I'll probably only do about 1000 SRs before I give up and start anyway though.
Lastly, my X horde hunt is still at
1335 HEs (that's 6675 pokemon seen) and I've decided to hunt in Route 36 for my 3rd BQ shiny in HG. Hoping for a Growlithe but a Nidoran would be cool too.
Good to luck to everyone hunting, especially
pokemaster13 on your various hunts,
Typhlosion_Hunter_Mark on the rest of your BQ,
TheMaster327 on your Rock Smash hunt,
Crimson Penguin on your two hunts,
Roseheart95 on your BQ and
Storm_Dragoon on your Mandibuzz hunt!
