Sorry about the Poochyena, Zenn of Ascension.
I finally got the chance to congratulate everyone. xD And I bring news! The news is... that I have no news. So I guess I don't actually bring news.
I've been mainly SRing Reshiram this past week, but no success as of yet. I'm feeling like doing a few SRs on my Lugia hunt in SS now just for something different.
However, I also have a question. I'd always assumed that in Gen 6, the Masuda Method would work with a Pokémon if it has a different language tag to your Pokémon (so for example I used a Larvesta of my own and a Japanese Larvesta with the "JAP" tag on its Summary page to breed my shiny Larvesta/Volcarona). But I read something the other day saying that a Pokémon can still be labelled as being from a different language (so the language tag will still show up) without actually being from a different region (e.g. Japanese language in a North American game rather than Japanese language in a Japanese game), and so trying to MM with that Pokémon won't actually work and the odds will be full odds rather than the improved odds.
So my questions are 1) is this true? and 2) if it is true, does that mean there's no sure way to tell if a Pokémon is truly "foreign" and therefore will work with the Masuda Method? I've managed to MM four shinies out of four attempts on X so far based on using a Pokémon with a different language tag, it's only my current Heracross hunt that's taking forever, but I know that even with MM it can take a couple of thousand eggs before something hatches. So I'm not sure what to think. Can anyone here shed any light on this?
Good luck to everyone on your hunts, I hope all your games shine for you!
