    As stated in the title, will any of you guys soft reset for a shiny starter? Maybe you'll SR for a specific nature? Or are you just going to go on ahead and play? :D

    I'm not patient enough to see this awesome game start over and over again to play it, I want to play it immediately :D

    Are you serious? Of course not! I'm not going to waste days trying to get a shiny starter, I want to play that game already! However, I will reset it if my starter has a really bad Nature, but nothing more than that.

    Nope, I don't care much for resetting just to get a shiny starter, it'll take way too long I honestly doubt my patience could take SR for a shiny.

    Maybe a specific nature, but most definitely not a shiny, haha.

    I bred a shiny Treecko in X that I'm going to transfer over (along with a ton of other Pokémon I'm going to use) as my starter in Omega Ruby, haha. I may try to SR for a shiny one when I play Alpha Sapphire, but on the first day, I'm just going to play with the Pokémon I've bred specifically for that runthrough!

    Baha, I'm definitely not SRing for a shiny either. x'D;; I'll possibly SR to get a nature that's at least decent in some regard. Wouldn't want to have a +defense -sp. attack nature or such for Treecko or something, after all. Not patient enough to delay playing through the game for a shiny!

    Sadly I will definitely SR for a decent nature otherwise it will bug me greatly. :c No shiny though, that's a bit much haha.

    I'd probably reset for a nature, but not for a shiny. I have no patience to try to get a shiny, plus it's a lot more fun just playing the game than just trying to get a little detail that probably will take hours.

    Since i'm getting both versions, I *may* try to SR for a shiny, but I usually don't last on patience either lol.

    I already have that covered. Got a shiny Swampert and Shiny Sceptile in X/Y. I also have a Shiny Latias and a Shiny Rayquaza... I did a lot of soft reseting in R/S/E ^_^

    I'm gonna SR for a female (unless I get lucky like I did on my first playthroughs of both X and Y and get a female the first time); might SR for a decent nature in addition to having a female starter. Don't really care about having a shiny starter, plus knowing my luck it'd take ages just to get one @_@

    Planning on having all three Hoenn starters, shiny 5/6 IV EV trained and level 5 ready to start off the game :)

    It is not necessary...I can trade like others. I don't want to ruin the emotion, starting over and over again. I want to enjoy the game, stopping only when the game forces me.

    Nope, because the chance of getting shiny starters are slender, and you can just get a shiny when you breed with your starter.
    Also, i think there is no point of getting starter shinies (except for those who like the color for shinies), since it doesn't give a stat boost.

    If I had enough patience in X/Y to soft reset for a shiny Rotom, I can do it here.
    (Guess what I've been doing for the last two days?)

    I did try SR-ing in OR but lost patience and just traded over the Shiny Mudkip I had been saving for OR from Y. I learnt how to balance it to the point where it would still obey me till I reached Roxanne and beat her for the badge (I managed till the actual battle before it started goofing around. I was so tempted to let him faint but he pulled through.)
