Ive done nearly every pokemon game I can remember (except for the obvious red blue and yellow) I even soft reset for legendaries I love. Like shiny rayquaza <3

i’m determined that every soft reset thing i can do (except maybe legendários. i don’t have the patience for that) i will do it. i hear that the odd egg you get has a higher chance of being shiny but i’m not sure it that’s correct or not.. crossing my fingers!!

Yeah I usually soft reset for starters because I like to collect female Pokemon. I soft resetted for Shiny Kyurem once, but after 200 tries I didn't want anymore xD

When silver and gold came out for the virtual console I soft reset for a shiny cyndaquil. I happened to get extremely lucky and it only took about 7 soft resets ;u; however it's been taking me forever to get a shiny lugia, with over 2k soft resets

I've done a soft reset for a female Piplup in Pokemon Pearl and I've done a soft reset for a shiny Poplio in Pokemon Sun, but I never got a shiny, but I did get a female Poplio, so that's cool I guess.

Only in Lets Go Eevee! for the gender so that I could get the female eevee. I did get a shiny Chikorita in Silver on my 3Ds, though.

I’m doing Charmander in FireRed (I’m using an actual gameboy, not an emulator XD) and Treeko in Emerald (same gameboy, I switch in between each one) and I’m hunting Dialga in Diamond, breeding Riolu in X, The event Rockruff in Ultra Moon, Ralts on the radar in Alpha Sapphire, and Cyndiquil (idk how to spell) on Silver (all of these games on the same 3DS XL ;-;)

I did it once in one playthrough of Pokemon Black in order to get a Female Snivy.

I promise to do all in my power to see us through this safely

I once did it to get the legends in Ruby. (I killed them all accidently)

I also knew a guy who got a shiny Mudkip as a starter but he reset thinking the colour was a bug
