Shiny Resets

I have said several times that I would try resetting for a shiny, but truthfully I'm just not that patient. Plus I get distracted easily with that kind of stuff and I'd probably lose track and whatnot, ahaha. Maybe some day.

 

The same goes for me. I don't even know how to reset other than turning your 3ds on and off, ha ha. I don't really care about shinies though, mostly because the only different thing about a shiny is the color. If I ever need a shiny Pokémon, I'll ask someone to hack it for me. As Karz said, kudos to those who do like to get shinies through "fair" means, but I think I care too little about the effort put into that to do it myself.

 

While I have tried to get a shiny through resetting, I have yet to got one. I don't have the patience for it. Also, the shinies have lost their value over the generations, so I see even less reason to reset for them. Sure, if I desperately want shiny Pokémon, and there is no other way to get it shiny, I'll probably do it. Or just get someone else to do it for me

 

I don't reset for shinies. Seems like too much work for me. The shinies I have gotten have been through legit means, like chaining, accidental encounters, and random encounters. I'm trying to Masuda Method for a shiny, but nothing yet. *sigh*

 

At most, I will try for up to 3 days before I give up resetting something, and I never got a shiny via resetting. I used to do the chaining for fishing all the time in X/Y, but I almost never do this in ORAS. Back in the late days of Gen 5, my friend reset his Platinum for three whole months just to get a shiny Giratina.

Then they released the event shinies

 

Oh lord, resetting for shinies. My record for the number of resets for a shiny definitely goes to my Rayquaza hunt in HeartGold- I SR'd for over 25,000 times before that sucker shone. It was worth it, though, I still have that Rayquaza to this day (even though I prefer regular Rayquaza's colors because green, the shiny is still pretty rad).

Overall, I've lost count of how many shinies I've reset for. It's definitely a decent handful, though- probably between 40 and 80. I don't really keep track, and I'm not going through my huge shiny collection to count, haha. My patience very rarely wears out in general- sometimes I take breaks in hunts, but I don't think I've ever truly given up a hunt. My one tip for people who like to reset for shinies is to do something else while resetting- I typically watch videos or movies while resetting so it's not as tedious.

I'll definitely be resetting for shinies in the future once I get back to playing Pokémon, it's a lot of fun and a good way to pass the time!

 

I have attempted resetting for shiny Pokémon before, but I've only had relatively good success with it once with a Treecko in Pokémon Emerald and it took around 300 or so resets. Resetting with the Gameboy Advance SP was super easy so it actually wasn't that bad and I still think I was really lucky to only have to reset that much for one. Other times I have used resets to get shiny Legendaries, like Cresselia (I don't even remember the number of attempts it took but it took AGES), but only if I really want them. It takes quite a lot longer to reset with games on the DS handheld and so forth, so it becomes more of a pain in my opinion. Nowadays if I want to get a shiny, I just use the masuda method, but if it's a legendary I'll reset a couple of times to test my luck and then probably just give up around the 50th attempt or somewhere around that. XD

 

I never resets for shinies. If i get one that's good if not then okay. I like shinies but i am not a collector and that's why i never resets my game for them.

 

I've started a couple of resets but I usually end up quitting really early. I really don't have enough patience to sit there that long. I usually just like to find shinies randomly and haven't hunted for them for over a year now.

 

I've tryed a lot, but I give after 500 or so, and thus I have none through resets that I've done, gotten some that other people have done by trade
