Why not just do RNG abuse and save the months of autistic grinding

The goose rant was better.
The threads kept getting pushed off during the big leak last year and almost everyone just posts their shiny hunts in the wifi thread

OH SHIT
So that’s where the anon got that rant from. Granted I’ve avoided speed running shit since 2010 so there was no way for me to know that.

It's unironically too hard. Most of the time it requires perfect inputs.

honestly i just shiny hunt on the side while doing something else, it's slower but far less mind numbing than actually putting your full attention towards SRing and/or running back and forth
unless it's SV and you can get a shiny in like five-ten minutes

Finding a rare Pokemon or a Shiny triggers similar response to getting that SSS+ Triple Star Waifu (Naked Apron Version) in a gacha slop game. Shiny Hunting is basically just whaling, but instead of money, you pay with time.

Shunting would be fine if the chances weren't so fucking low in the old gens it wasn't worth it and not so high in the new gens that it's not worth it now. Shinies went from ridiculously unobtainable to a common item.

I wouldn't care about the end result if the journey to it wasn't arduous.

Lmao skill issue. You don't know real pain until you're staring at the egg hatching channel on Pokemon Channel for 27 minutes before backing out to the main menu and staring at the order options pop up only to see you overshot your RNG advances lol.

Unlike Colosseum it has a full possible PID spread. Method goes like this:
>Check order that title screen options pop in 10 times to get seed
>Use seed to calculate how many advances
>Enter game and go to Egg (~100-110 advances per second) or report (52/second) channel and wait until you're close.
>Go back out and repeat process on title screen to get RNG seed
>Check how many advances away. If close use a program to get an elaborate set of commands you can use to advance to the exact RNG call
>Get your Jirachi
Last part is pretty foolproof because you don't advance RNG on the title screen without menuing.

Sounds tedious. I'm assuming Channel only gives one Jirachi per save? Which explains why you'd reset. How long between resets? How difficult would it be to hunt on multiple systems at once?
