>Be 12
Sapphire, shiny Magnemite in Mauville Underground (only wild one I've had)
Total bro in team (Magneton), some idiot in my bus did the savefile erase thing some time afterwards.
A long time later (IDK if 1~2 years, tops)
Resetted for Shiny Rayquaza for 2 weeks, got it.
Resetted for like 2 months for Beldum/Regice/Registeel, didn't get any.
Resetted for like a week for Regirock, got it.
That night was like, I almost skipped going to a party just because I wanted to stay home resetting. I got it, went to the party, it was god damned awful (I don't know why I went in first place, full of trashy 13~14 y/os)
Sapphire stolen (alongside Phat DS and Mario Kart DS) from my sister at her school (took it without permission the day before summer vacations)
>2~3 years later I got a DS Lite with Emerald
No shinies there, I've also beaten Fire Red, Platinum, and White, but none.
Didn't resetted on purpose on any of them though.
>Last year
Shiny Cyndaquil in Soul Silver resetting for 2 weeks... but in my R4DS, legit but still...
Stuck now at Lugia, tried for almost 3 weeks, got tired and never played again.
