Each soft reset takes one minute and three seconds if playing optimally which I most certainly wasn’t frequently, although starting at 16384 resets (twice the odds) I started dual hunting on a copy of Black 2 as well, so you can effectively cut every SR’s time in half after that. I don’t remember when I started, but I always would watch TV shows whenever I would hunt, so here’s all the shows I went through:
Gurren Lagann
SpyxFamily (season 3 hype!)
The Sopranos
Parasyte: The Maxim
Kaguya-Sama: Love is War
Last Week Tonight seasons 1-3
Assassination Classroom
King of the Hill seasons 1-7
And finally, the little bugger showed up during the second-to-last episode of Horimiya!
Prior to this, my longest hunt was somewhere in the 16000s.
If you had to pick one word to describe the emotion you felt when you saw him, what would that word be?
Awesome shiny btw.
Honestly, relief. I was legitimately worried my cartridge was so old that it somehow fucked up the random number generator lol
Side note: I love Gurren Lagann!! 😎 Studio Trigger also put out Kill la Kill which is another all-time favorite of mine!
…just in case you need another show to binge during your next hunt!
I am no shiny hunter, but I have one memory that will forever haunt me.
I played the shit out of Pokémon diamond. Eventually, I got board and started using an action replay. I had many adventures that way by like, custom starters.
One day, I was lucky enough to take part of an official Darkrai event. I go to his island and somehow he was a shiny. I managed to catch him and it was an amazing experience.
It was also the same day I learnt the lesson of using the save feature asap. I can’t remember what happened exactly, but I think I knocked the cartridge or something and crashed the came. My last save was right in front of Darkrai. I tried so hard to get him as a shiny again, but it never happened. It was devastating lmao
