I just took out Julia in the game, so my story will need a bit of catching up, but I'm outta steam for now. I caught a cold and the pain is slowing down the typing. I'll edit this post with the rest and a picture of my Julia team soon!

Hey all! I started picking up Reborn pretty solidly about a week ago, and my girlfriend made me realize I was going so hard on the shinies that I should have made my poor little starter fellow shiny. I'd only gotten through to beating Corey -- I figured I wasn't too far in, so I could give it a shot. So I'm startin' over with a Badge Quest! I think I'll chronicle the adventures in this thread as I go, and depending on how well it goes, I may start streaming a second play as a Shiny Dex Quest (details on that later). That said, I'm getting a start by cycling between one of each type of starter until one shines: Cyndaquil, Piplup, and Chespin. We'll see what happens soon enough! Also I'll probably get a few shinies at the start just to supplement taking on Julia. lol Update 1: Spent most of the day today hunting down a shiny Finneon, since Luminion has always been my favorite Pokemon despite its stats and movepool. xD Finally picked it up after three Goldeens. Now to add something less vulnerable to electricity! lol Also my luck with natures is apparently not bad, and I got Bold. Update 2: Alright, SWEET addition to the team in the form of a shiny female Espurr! It's even Modest, I think Reborn likes me. <3 211 resets wasn't too bad. Followed this up by running across Whismur, which I didn't even know could appear, and nabbed a shiny (after a fail) in only 84 SRs. Gulpin took a little longer, but I got my little tomato in 195 SRs. Now aiming for a shiny Poochyena, encountered a Stunky on the way to it only 22 REs in. Went to restock on Pokeballs when I remembered I had a Pokemon waiting for me on the bridge, so I took out the punks and BAM! Shiny Pachirisu in 108 SRs. Timid. I swear something is going on with the Nature RNG. 116 REs, shiny Trubbish. We'll see if I can get the Poochyena in another area. WELL. Just got through my longest set of soft resets yet: Simisear. Gonna take a break from collecting any more with that one. Back soon with tales of training, I suppose. lol Current Shiny Collection Chespin (224 SRs) Goldeen*2 (I don't know when I got them tbh I didn't care D:) Finneon (2051 REs) Espurr (211 SRs) Whismur (84 SRs) Gulpin (195 SRs) Stunky (22 REs) Pachirisu (108 SRs) Trubbish (116 REs) Simisear (537 SRs) Poochyena (Phase 2 incomplete) Pidove (Random) Mankey (Random) Lotad (150 SRs and counting)
