would you even bother soft resetting for one?

I'd probably wind up soft resetting for one.

I hate the fact that they shiny lock every damn thing... Box Mascots, Event Legends and now other in-game Legends (whichever bird the player got and Mewtwo). Kyurem was the only mascot from 5th gen and now forward to 6th gen that wasn't shiny locked.

What would Japan's reaction to such a thing be like? That is if they even cared.
