So what's everyone's opinion on shiny hunting this gen?
Personally I feel like it took a huge step down from gen 6. The shiny charm requires less pokemon and SoS calling is here, but there's no Dexnav/Friend Safari/Pokeradar/Chain Fishing/Horde Hunting. Back in gen 6 you can change up your hunting methods. Here it's either sit in the same battle for about 20 hours, or sit in the autismbox forever.
Unless i can get it in gen 7 only, I'll probably stick to hunting in gen 6. Maybe the next game this gen will have a better way to hunt.
