Yes, this is seriously how long it took. Each soft reset takes one minute and three seconds if playing optimally which I most certainly wasn’t frequently, although starting at 16384 resets (twice the odds) I started dual hunting on a copy of Black 2 as well, so you can effectively cut every SR’s time in half after that. I don’t remember when I started, but I always would watch TV shows whenever I would hunt, so here’s all the shows I went through:

Gurren Lagann

SpyxFamily (season 3 hype!)

The Sopranos

Parasyte: The Maxim

Kaguya-Sama: Love is War

Last Week Tonight seasons 1-3

Assassination Classroom

King of the Hill seasons 1-7

And finally, the little bugger showed up during the second-to-last episode of Horimiya!

Prior to this, my longest hunt was somewhere in the 16000s.

    I am no shiny hunter, but I have one memory that will forever haunt me.

    I played the shit out of Pokémon diamond. Eventually, I got board and started using an action replay. I had many adventures that way by like, custom starters.

    One day, I was lucky enough to take part of an official Darkrai event. I go to his island and somehow he was a shiny. I managed to catch him and it was an amazing experience.

    It was also the same day I learnt the lesson of using the save feature asap. I can’t remember what happened exactly, but I think I knocked the cartridge or something and crashed the came. My last save was right in front of Darkrai. I tried so hard to get him as a shiny again, but it never happened. It was devastating lmao
