>>53488191"The non-bullshit way" is complete bullshit. There is no glory in spending hundreds of real life hours mindlessly tapping the same few button sequences and soft resetting for a different color. 1/8192. There were people who played from GS to B2W2, 12.5 years, without ever encountering a random shiny with those odds. I understand the appeal in having a legitimate shiny, one that wasn't just hacked in, one that the game generated naturally. But this "It has to appear when I'm not expecting it" bullshit makes no sense because you're getting the exact same thing in the exact same way as someone who looks at the RNG. You just prolong it like using a calculator is cheating, except it's not even that. Attempting to calculate it at all is cheating to you. Even a golfer tries to take account of wind, weather, his club, and the direction of the hole. You're just shouting a random number between 0 and 8191 every 45 seconds and hoping you get it right.
It's this shit and breeding that are so utterly retarded to me.
