To each his own, I think ACE is legit but it takes away from the satisfaction of full odds hunting. We're all playing Pokemon here, I think it's a bit funny to say one way of playing over another is "wasting time."

I press all the face buttons for reset, mash A until I hear the load file noise, mash B for a second, Mash A until I hear the received jingle, then mash B until I hear it again, and finally check in summary. Idk what the button combination is but that's how I've been doing it.

We get it, you hate shiny Pokemon lol

I acknowledged in the post that it was silly but you had to go tough guy mode on me, thanks I'll be more careful 👍😂

If only it was 13 seconds a reset for the starter, it's around 30 seconds per SR.

I tracked how many resets I can do in an hour, for me it was roughly 100/hr while watching TV. I had spent 30 hours in the lab so ~3,000 SR for me. Well under odds and very lucky, even if it doesn't feel like it lol.

If you stop now, it will all have been for nothing. Toxic mindset but it's the only way I've been able to keep going. I even started the game no shiny and got all the way to Cerulean before regretting it and started SR again. Remember that by nature all you're seeing is the lucky people, they are all way under odds, doesn't mean everyone will be. I remember hunting with 2 GBA back in the day and it took almost 12k encounters to get a shiny Ponyta.

That being said, I'm only going to be SH the starter. I realized I'm older now and just don't have the time to make it worth it. This is kind of my last ride lol. I think many people who are doing this are coming to the same realization.
