I wwould love to trade, but my wireless is down and out. I have to actually get the disc for the usb connector loaded onto the desktop computer I have, to trade at home at the moment. Eventually my friend and I are going to go to the BK Lounge and do an epic day of trading and drinking water I suppose, so we won't be loitering - hopefully by then I'll have something chained. If you still have it by then we could definitely trade, though! I'd love a shiny Pachirisu. I tried to chain Mareep before ... it didn't go well. 38 is a damn awesome score, though, so kudos to you!
Once I accidentally chained-- I was looking for as many fodder pokemon I could gather to do a big trade-off so I could restart Diamond, so I used the poketch for fun and caught 45 regular Sentret, and one shiny one. That was the ONLY TIME that ever worked in my favour, and I didn't even really want a Sentret. It's pretty damn cute though.
What others are you looking for? And which ones specifically are you looking at having chained? I've only ever successfully done chaining a couple times - Wurmple, Sentret, Shinx, Chingling and Hoppip. I've been wanting a Croagunk but I'll prolly just RNG that one, and eventually I would like to try Beldum. Masterballs would be a plus for those, though. I really want to chain Ditto, but it'd be easier in Diamond than in Platinum.
Accidentally chained 45 Sentret. Pfffft. I am going to keep trying with Mareep, though, because who can resist those little pink bundles of lurve. As for what I was looking for, I am not really fussed, but I do already own a Shinx (as you can see). I'm sort of leaning towards Hoppip because pink Jumpluff is pretty, but really, I will probably take whatever you have caught multiples of. Thankyou.
I'd like to try again with Mareep, as well, but the most I ever got without a Pachirisu interrupting was around 15 or so. Hopefully you succeed though - if you do and I get something going, we can perhaps trade. Hoppip was a lucky shot - I had chained for a shiny Ponyta and while I got to 40, one didn't pop up. I accidentally stepped into a patch with a Scyther in it about an hour and a half later and ruined the chain. I was pissed, and didn't want to try Ponyta again, so I flew directly to Floaroma town o chain Hoppip, and it was successful almost instantly. It will be an adorable Jumpluff, because Jumpluff is adorable anway. ♥
Anyway I'll give it a go again, to see how it turns out. When you do get another successful chain, please don't forget to boast! :D It's the best way to get people motvated.
I would've been more angry with my Mareep chain if I had got to fourty and then I broke it by not paying attention. I can totally understand. You got lucky with Hoppip though, kudos. I'll be sure to message you if I ever have another successful chain attempt, for sure, now I know how it motivates you! <3
Ye, getting to 40 and failing is a HUGE disappointment. It can take forever to get up that far, and you make one little mistake and *poof* goes all your effort. Heartbreaking. -_-
I'll be looking forward to hearing from you and your successful chains! How did you get your shiny Latias? It's mighty impressive. And sunny!
I soft resetted for it when we had the Enigma Stone event. Took about 700 soft resets and one fast ball. I was squeeing for hours afterwards. I said I was never going to do it again, but I am really tempted with B/W. I want a shiny Snivy, dammit.
It's so awesome that you managed that, and after only 700 tries! I was SRing for a shiny Giratina for months but it failed because Cynthia locks you in, and I couldn't leave to get the events that are going on now. SO I have yet another normal, non-shiny Giratina. I'm playing through Diamond, and am going to SR in that game for it. I love me some teal pokemans.
A shiny Snivy would be phenomenal, especially if you got to play through the whole game with it and it actually obeyed you. Is that what you're starting with, then? The less people who start with the firepig the better. I really want a shiny Gigalith, the one that looks like quartz popping out of an alive rock. It's red normally, but teal when shiny. I'll be trollin' that area of the game, looking for a shiny one. lol.
I was honestly preparing myself to be soft resetting for months. In hindsight, I got really really lucky. 700 is a low amount compared to the time some people spent soft resetting. I am sorry about your Giratina. That was the Arceus event, right?
And yes, that was going to be my chosen starter. I love Snivy. I also own a Japanese copy of Black, so I could play that while resetting with the other. And I know which shiny you mean, teal is pretty but I didn't imagine anyone actually hunting for it. I hope you find it! It would be really unusual which would make it more special.
