>>17454327That really just depends. The Lumiose tower is something you can do without even touching the DS, just put paper or a quarter though I've seen broken DS's. I like taking 5 out and doing the day care while spamming Hatching power and putting up a shout-out saying "Hatch power pls" or something like that. This is so that I could either box or release the pokemon that come up.
>I also have a fear that if I don't pick up the egg immediately, it has less chance of being shiny.You can easily tell when the new egg has arrived that way but I've heard that you should do Lumiose tower for Pokes with longer egg cycles to stay sane.
