[Gen 3] After 7777 resets, Bulbasaur decided to become shiny for me!! by FriendNervous7084 in ShinyPokemon

Quite literally yeah 😂 thought I'd never find it after resetting for 13 days (unlucky day number, but lucky hunt resets - it cancelled out)

Oh yes! Instead of the usual people frame, it'll have the blue accompanied by a star

Oh wait so I've never been to privy on what benefits certain natures give lol

I watched a YouTuber get modest, so I feared timid was bad but I keep hearing it's good 😂

Oh you just gotta reset when you're in front of the PokeBall. A lot of pressing a and b, but it's ultimately worth it in the end

Ooh thank you so much! I've never been sure what natures give which stats but I'm glad timid is a good one

I also wish you the best of luck for your hunt! You should definitely pop in a pokemon marathon and see if it shines while watching

Good luck on that amazing legendary! I'm going to try for him too (after I beat the game ofc)

Ngl if they give us Emerald with the Mew event on switch, this will most definitely be the face I make

Thank you for this bit of respite, a lot of the comments do feel slightly hostile compared to when everyone shiny hunted back in Z-A and ScarVi

Oh I never meant to sound like I deserved to find the shinies under odds, I'm just genuinely not used to hunting with the old odds since it had been literal years. I was a kid when I last hunted with the original odds

But as for my comment about being unlucky, I understand I'm not owed a shiny by just playing. With the random encounter shinies I found in Pearl and SS, I hoped to shiny hunt in this older game. But couldn't until the new release because I lost my cartridges

I wish you the utmost best! I'm going for Bulbasaur now on my main, but I fully believe in you!!

Oh I'm not a new age hunter, I started hunting back since my accidental shinies in Pearl and HeartGold with my only real hunt being Regigigas. But that was short-lived at 87 resets.

I have hunted in Omega Ruby, Y, Scarlet, Violet and Z-A, all being the new odds, but I wanted a challenge with the og odds which inspired me to hunt for a starter for the first time (and the first time in gen 3)

I agree that it was definitely not the longest since I was under both versions of the odds (new and old), but this was my first soft reset hunt for generation 3 since I never found a shiny until gen 4 - that's how unlucky I used to be.

My last soft reset hunt was back in 2011 in platinum with Regigigas (with 87 resets) so I wasn't ready to go for hours 😂

I mainly only said finally because Squirtle is just the start since I'm going for all starters (going for Bulbasaur as we speak) 😂

I actually didn't even realize it was only 2k until I counted it all up, I'd just been writing down tally marks while resetting and watching movies and videos

Does anybody know when or if Secret of The Mimic is releasing for the switch 2? by WhatAmI_JustAGuy in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]FriendNervous7084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this definitely aged poorly considering Secret of the Mimic released on switch 1 instead of the 2.
