Do you think shiny odds will be increased or altered again in Sun/Moon?
Meh, I'm kind of ambivalent towards the new pokemon games since it's most likely I won't get them because I really don't like how the 3d models look, but I imagine they'll find an even easier way for people to get shinies since that seems to be the general trend. But the only thing I'm excited about is seeing the new pokemon being revealed, not the actual games themselves, because I'm a bitter old luddite when it comes to pokemon.
What new methods of hunting would you like to see added, if any? (e.g things like MM, Chaining, Fishing Chaining)
I kinda think that's there's plenty already - I mean, you can nearly get every single pokemon shiny whilst utilising the lower-odds methods gen 6 implemented (+ chaining in gen 4) so there's not much point in Nintendo implementing any more methods, but they might do just for fun.
How do you see in game shiny legendaries being handled- all obtainable, all restricted or somewhere in-between?
All obtainable - I honestly don't see the point in shiny locks except for the purposes of spoiling people's fun, grrrr.
I have good and surprising news! I've been chipping away at Route 20 for the past few days and that now sits at 17,200 REs, however tonight I decided to switch to Shaymin RAs. I was just catching up with all my youtube subscriptions to shiny hunters and trying to remember what shiny Shaymin looks like so that I don't miss it or do something daft, when the real thing came flying across my screen just 88 REs into the session, bringing the total RAs to 2,388! I've never been thinking so hard about getting a shiny moments before I actually get one, so I was absolutely estatic. Shaymin is one of my dream shinies AND my first (caught) shiny legendary (*cough*lostRegisteel*cough*) so it's a nice little milestone for me.
Now, pictures!

I named them Aeolia, after Aeolian mode and because it has a nice ring to it. These pictures don't do the shiny much justice, but I promise it's so good in person - the little bright lime pips in the turquoise really pop ;o; I wanted to make them transform into sky forme so I could photograph that, but nighttime means that it's a no go, so I'll have those pictures next time I post. I also completely forgot to check it's IVs, but it's nature is Brave (I also took a picture of the wrong summary screen, you can tell I've been away for a while!) and brave on a sky forme Shaymin kinda sucks, haha. Plus I don't have the slightest clue what I'm going to hunt on Platinum next!
Anyway, good luck everybody with their hunts, especially umbreonfan3636!
