Alright guys, Sure many of you are onto this, but I'll throw it out there anyway. I play on the exe file and I had a thought at loading it up more than once, in fact 8 times and running them all through increasing my chances of shinies. I set up with them all ready to go on Route 3 to start and then press skip on them all very quickly and start rolling my eyes round in circles. Quick maths says you see 150 pokemon on route 3, I'd therefore see 1200 per run through, so its actually likely that I see a shiny per run through. 1st go nothing, 2nd go wo whats that red. Oh damn Pidgey although this made me realise how easily you notice the red bar which is great. and 3rd go... The illusive shiny Nidoran Male I wanted. So yeh thought Id share, Im sure I ll have that Mankey soon and I met set up with them long ways down the screen and do Mt Moon2. Let me know if you think this is any good, or if loads have peeps have already said it and Im well slow. Love Attachments:

duripen It would have been done since 2.6.1 or else Trickey would not have mentioned it being likely. If it was done before 2.6.1 it would be about 1/10 chance for a shiny to appear once.

I tried this, and it was an epic failure. I can't concentrate on multiple screens at the same time XD

ehh I give kudos to the effort but that just makes my mind want to explode thinking about looking at all those screens all the time. Great job at the multitasking tho

Try trading the pidgey or any other shiny to one window that you use as your main storage area. Also, you can use a pokemon with scary face/string shot at the start of the level to buy you some more time.

It will be hard to look at 8 similar screens at the same time
