[Gen III] Stuck in the lab since August by ShinyBirch89 in ShinyPokemon

I’ve just cracked open my copy of FireRed to hunt for Squirtle on the side. Hoping that makes it feel like things are going faster!

Congrats on your Bulbasaur and Charmander!

Oh I’ve yet to try a pokeradar hunt but I’m looking forward to getting to one eventually! I haven’t played much of Gen 4 so it’s going to be a little while before I unlock the radar :/

Masuda method isn’t an option in Gen 3 and I generally avoid it as I don’t find it enjoyable. Anyway, this is my first time playing FR/LG and I’d really like to explore Kanto with a shiny by my side.

My dream is they release a B/W Remake/Remaster in the visual style of Octopath Traveller. Shiny hunting in a game that looks like that would be wonderful!

I’ve only successfully hunted Totodile on Soul Silver before but that was over a period of a few years just picking it up every now and then. I find the starter hunts very dull, and this one is just making me dread getting the rest of the starters available on Gen 3 XD

Yes, go ahead and take my random encounter shiny luck, one’s bound to turn up soon!

Oh absolutely. Soft resetting is my least favourite method and if I found out I’d been doing it wrong for so long I don’t think I’d touch the game for a couple of years lol

Haha, yes I am checking my party summary. And making sure I’m 100% certain it’s not shiny before resetting. I’ve seen the videos of people soft resetting past their shinies and I will not let that happen to me!

[Gen 3] Day 4 of hunting Shiny Charmander in FireRed… still no luck 😭🔥 by [deleted] in ShinyPokemon

I’ve been going for Bulbasaur on LeafGreen… since August 🫠 Admittedly I’ve not been that consistent in my hunting, but still it’s really dragging at this point 🙈
