XY

[jayceanime]

I was remembering today how I used to use my livejournal for fun things, like pokemon and anime and like, let's do more of that. So today's post will be pokemon!! In bullet point fashion!! I haven't even posted about XY despite playing it every single day since release.

I've missed seeing you post about your collections!! :'D Glad to see there's a fellow Panda collector, too - I need to take pictures of my collection soon!

Congrats on all the shinies! I haven't even gotten XY yet, but it is true that it's a tad easier to get shinies?

Eee I'd love to see your pandas!!

Serebii says the odds in xy are 1 in 4096 which is about half of previous gens, but I've been getting them at pretty much the same rate, so idk. The friend safari odds seem crazy high though.

Yay, nice to see you posting about collection stuff! Your Pancham collection is already looking awesome! Pancham is definitely a cutie. :D Love your other Gen 6 guys, too--nice choices! I'm having so much trouble deciding what to buy in Gen 6--I kinda want half of what's been released so far but I've been saving for Japan so I'll just have to catch up once my savings are all padded. (Of course, I'll partly catch up once I'm in Japan, too, though that's a ways off.)

Oh, your monkey displays look gorgeous! I always name my male Pansear after you.

Shiny hunting is the best in X/Y! Following your shiny hunting blog--looks like you've had a ton of success so far!

Thank you! I understand how you feel about XY, there's so much merch of great pokes already it is hard to decide! Yay for japan too!!

Hehe I love it. <3

I have had pretty good luck, but I've put in more time than I'd like to admit, haha. You might have heard already but i figure it's worth throwing out there to a fellow shiny lover: if you ever want to masuda method, going to lumiose city's center and putting a piece of paper under you joystick lets you circle the tower infinitely. This makes hatching eggs SO easy. It helped net me a treecko a lot faster. Haha

Wow, that's a lot of shinies! Out of curiosity, how are you keeping track of the number of random encounters between each shiny? I assume you're not counting by hand, since that would take forever.

[jayceanime]

I'm usually hunting on 3 systems, so I just put a calculator next to my setup and after the first set of encounters hitting = adds 3. For random encounters this is pretty effortless, but for soft reset hunts and things that take effort I usually don't count. I only do it so that when I'm 10k over the odds it's a glimmer of hope that something should come soon. Haha
