Got up early and bricked with my first 3 encounters: Seedot, Bidoof, and another Surskit. I went to grab some berries and went 2/2 on encountering Munchlax, which I captured both of then turned loose for their Leftovers, which will be useful when I actually decide to play the game.
Ended up catching a Lotad, so that leaves Ralts and Tympole for R102, minus the surf, honey, and fishing encounters.
I just stumbled upon another Surskit too, after around 2300 encounters. I haven't figured out what I want to do with excess shinies. I've contemplated having a full living dex of all stages of evos, but that's definitely going to be the last thing I do. Besides, this is my 3rd Surskit. Now I'm just collecting spares at this point.

How frustrating is it to have the shiny encounter, and proceed to lose it because it KO'd itself? I've never had one of those, but if I had it on a legitimate cartridge I think I'd feel ill afterwards. I know you're SRing it, but I imagine it's still aggravating to try and be frame-perfect, go through all the hassle, and get no reward for your troubles.
