I’m genuinely considering soft resetting fur a shiny chimchar I’m never done this before. What am I in for bros? His long does this take on average?

With Chimchar, and any of the starters in BDSM for that matter, you're looking at a slow reset because you'll have to watch the cutscene introducing Rowan and the Starly attack. If you can deal with that, you're golden but keep in mind that you're also hunting for an uncatchable shiny Starly when you do this hunt since they didn't lock it like the Pooch in ORAS.

I'd also like to add that if the idea of failing a Starly is a deal breaker, another beginner hunt I recommend is waiting until you get the Eterna Forest and doing double encounters there. It's still full odds but it goes by faster.

says. watch youtube, or let's plays or something to pass time. make a huge list before starting. I have gone like 100 resets in heart gold for shiny chikorita myself and its extremely boring.

Depends on how long it takes you to get to the point of picking your starter.
Let's say it takes you 15 seconds to reset and pick Chimchar (no idea how slow this is in BDSP)
After 10 hours of non-stop gameplay, you'd have 2400 encounters. Since the chance of it being a shiny is 1/4096, you would've have had a bit over 50% chance of encountering a shiny at that point.

how so? it takes a fuckton of time to breed a pokemon, while resetting takes 15-2mins at most
Only downside is shit nature and ivs, but if you don't care about those its faster to reset

Because you can shift the odds heavily in your favor if you breed for a shiny, rather than soft reset for it.

You can get the chances to as good as 1/64 by breeding.

So the odds are 1/4096
Let’s say you get 50 resets an hour which is a fair estimate
You would be hitting odds at around 81 hours, you could possibly get it a lot earlier than that or it might take you 120 hours+.
Don’t do it unless you genuinely want to

Because an injected shiny feels like it has no value, while a shiny that you legitimately worked your ass off for feels like a trophy. It's about the journey, not the destination.

Anyone who resets for shinies is legitimately retarded. Imagine wasting so much time from the only life you have on something THAT pointless.

Definitely not the best option if you aren't used to shiny hunting. It takes like 90 seconds for a single reset in these games.

If the starter event was the Pt version I would say go for it. Sadly this is not the case here; you have to save OUTSIDE, enter then keep pressing A for like ages then they finally let you choose - average 90 seconds per reset-.
Might as well fucking Masuda method it.

If anyone in this thread has a copy of a gen 4 game dont reset for shit. RNG manipulation is easy in them and while it seems boring to figure out I promise it is less boring than starting a game over a shitload of times to get a shiny
