Hey all, Long time Lurker and first time poster. I know, this seems like a tired old subject that's been beaten to death.
I got my first Shiny last year, after playing GSC, FL/RG and RSE for the longest time. I never thought I would want to go through with finding them all like an obsessed fanatic.... but, well, I've gotten bit by the bug so to speak.
I'm really after now a Shiny Charmander, and thought I would go for it. Only one in over 8000 chance shot right? I got to get lucky sometime.
I'm not asking about how to do a soft reset, I know that.
I'm jsut in need of a few specific hints and answers to some queries.
Mind you I'm saved right infront of the pokeballs in the FR, about to choose.
1) When I inspect hte pokeballs, can I get an indication that the contents are shiny by looking at the photo it displays before confirming selection or do I have to actually choose them and use them in battle with Gary to know for sure?
2) Would I really have to battle with gary to find out or would checking the status screen give me an indication instead? I know of the chime and sparkles that sound when a shiny is released, but this seems to be my ony indication I might have when lookign at the charmander as of little color differencial from what I've seen on the Pokedex.
3) Does anyone have a specific way they do it to speed up how long it takes to pick it up, scope it out, and reset? I just am afraid that I'm takign too long finding out and reseting..
Thanks for everyone's answers and time.
