Extra special congrats to
TheMaster327 on finding Lugia and completing your Badge Quest, so happy that it finally decided to stop being Bluegia.
Well it had to happen sooner or later, Six Island is the first of the Sevii Islands that has passed the odds (Three Island technically did, but that was over two phases). The hunt currently stands at 8,400 REs and I'm not sure whether to be sad or happy. On the one hand short hunts are always welcome and it would have been nice to have finished this quest before ORAS next week but on the other hand I was starting to feel a bit guilty about having so many hunts so far under the odds whilst various other people have been having hunts go over 20k. Also it feels kind of nice to have a hunt go over the odds, at least as long as it doesn't start reaching ridiculous numbers.
Speaking of ORAS next week, the later release in the UK irritated me at first, especially considering the global release of X & Y, but now I appreciate that it gives me a chance to get a Six Island shiny before putting all hunts on hold for the new game. When it does come out here I plan to SR for Mudkip as I've never played through a whole game with a shiny on my team before. The later release gives me a chance to know what these SRs will be like. Whilst I don't see any reason for them to change it from the originals where you could save in front of the bag with the Pokeballs in, this is GameFreak we are talking about and I wouldn't put it past them to dump a minute of dialogue on us, a la X & Y. By the UK release we'll also probably have an idea of the status of legendary shiny locks. Although I'm not holding out much hope on that one, with so many being in the game there is an outside chance that some of them that aren't important to the story aren't locked I guess.
Good luck hunting everyone
