It's that time of the week again! Come on in and join your fellow hunters as you fish, hatch, chain, Dexnav, whatever it takes to get those shinies.

Side topic: Luckiest shiny catch you've ever gotten?

After getting my shiny Giratina at the end of /shw/ last weekend, I managed to get a shiny Palkia in 441 SRs, Kyurem in 459 SRs, and I just got Cobalion a few minutes ago in 615 SRs. Going for a shiny Heatran right now.

Luckiest shiny? Probably my first, Bronzong, found it randomly in Gen 4.

This is my first time participating in /shw/, got any recommendations for what I should breed for? Maybe something I'd normally overlook?

Damn, you're on a roll. Myself, I got a Sewaddle and two Eevees a few days back, first time Dexnav hunting. First Eevee had shit iv's sadly so I went for round 2, and that one was real good.

Might go for Zorua, but it can have Memento. Got me another Smeargle just so it'd have Taunt.

>>26594076
Personal bias tells me to tell you to go for Wooper or Mareep

Here's Kyurem.

My luckiest catch was probably a shiny Geodude in X since I didn't know about Telepathy + Skill Swap yet.

>>26594105
Shiny Zorua is such an amazing shiny, and I recommend a Net Ball if you're into balltism.
>>
Another lucky catch was an Audino I False Swipe'd. It woke up and used Secret Power and I caught it. Was a pretty big shock once I looked at its moves and saw Take Down.
>>
My luckiest shiny was from Alpha Sapphire:

I entered Mount Pyre to stop Team Aqua and immediately bumped into a shiny Duskull. It was the first Duskull that I had seen in-game so it's the default sprite on my dex.

I was looking for Tentacool earlier but I might go for a Wurmple since I've always liked Wurmple.

Forgot to mention that I caught a shiny Cofagrigus in Omega Ruby, but because it's in Japanese, I couldn't really decipher the moves well. I did end up catching it in a few Luxury Balls. It had Memento.

>>26594016
I started Shiny hunting again yesterday. I'm doing Masuda Method in ORAS to get a Vanillite and Tyrunt. I only want them to be part of a collection, so I didn't IV breed the parents.

Also, luckiest catch? Shiny Snubbull, my first Shiny. Got it while looking for a female Eevee. It took me lesa time to find a Shiny than a female Eevee.

Six. One hatched about thirty or so eggs after the female, and the one before the female was hexaperfect.

Don't get me wrong, I like going out and talking to people, but today I was looking foward hanging just with you guys. Well, good luck for everyone in their hunts.
>>
How do I get my patience for hatching back? I've taken to just using every other method instead.

>>26594572
I recommend playing an RPG or two while doing it. Really anything that doesn't require full on attention all the time. Got my Registeel while waiting around for the AI in Mario Party.
>>
Found a shiny mareep in Pokemon Y last year. Ended up giving her to my gf since she loves mareep and its evos.

Then, restarting heartgold I found a shiny geodude. Sadly I forgot to erase my old save and discovered you can't overwrite your save anymore. A sad week I must say.

Found a pidgey, a kakuna and a spearrow in Silver when I was a kid. Never knew they were shiny because I had a monochrome gameboy, just thought they were special because of the sparkles.

So you just need these for the dex entry, correct? I can do that. Lemme do a few more SRs and I'll add you. My FC is 5386-7794-9612.

For legends, I recommend putting up Pikachu with a Light Ball asking for them. It always goes for some stupid reason.

Just do a couple of rounds. Once you get a shiny torchic, continue trying to get another shiny torchic
>>
>>26594635
I usually just do it while at work, sitting around watching youtube videos, playing other games, etc. It only requires a button press every few seconds and a glance at the screen when it goes white then hitting Select and Start since the shoulders are taped down. I'm glad it's so easy to just run repeatedly for hours and hours on end, extremely low input and attention required.

Probs never gonna do it again though this is really the only shiny legendary I've much interest in here.
>>
>>26594744
I've only SR'd Zekrom/Regirock/Registeel. Technically Latios could count but I had to run away over and over. The shiny charm is what makes it bearable.
>>
>>26594715
Added, mine is 3823-8505-4413. Just let me know when you're ready.

>>26594718
I've gotten some decent luck recently (Giratina for a Lucario and a few other things) but I think I'm gonna scream if I see "Volcanion" or "Shiny Plz" on the GTS one more time.
>>
>>26594186
Shit nigga, I'm so happy for you. I've been working on all the Bugs myself and am "only" halfway. There's a lot of them, and Combee is definitely going to be the worst. Mothim/Wormadam and Beautifly/Dustox already sucked, but Combee is on a whole 'nother level.

Randomly found a female shiny eevee in 3 chains while searching for a wish egg move. Surprisingly decent IVs too. 31/13/31/31/25/22 and jolly

The problem? Leafeon(and maybe Flareon and umbreon) is the only one that could work with this and shiny leafeon/glaceon are so bland...hope gen 7 shows a new physical eevee.

I've never once encountered a shiny Pokemon in and game since Gen II was first released but I've gotten Pokerus in every gen it's been in which is supposed to be rarer.
>>
>>26594721
Didn't he delete his account? It's a shame to be honest, he seemed to enjoy what he did.
>>
When you guys Dexnav, what do you do? I've just been spamming Payday on every nonshiny. Why did they make Dexnav in water/desert/cave so hard to do? You can't reasonably keep it going past 4.

>>26594868
Pokerus is even rarer because there's no outward signs of it. It only seems common now because the second one person has it, they can spread it to every single person with wifi
>>
>>26594783
So here's what's going to happen. I have everything bar Latias and Kyogre on the system of the FC that I gave you, so I'll touch-trade you first, and then I'll add you on my other system (2895-9675-0028) for the latter two.
>>
>>26594897
I dunno I've never had wifi set up on my stuff.
>>
>>26594895
I'm pretty sure he did, it's a bit of a shame. Probably got made fun of for that reaction too. I don't consider it cringey, I wish I could have that much of a reaction. That Registeel I caught in one premier ball, I had a really dull reaction to it. Same with Sewaddle, kinda like this video, really just depends on the night i guess.

I feel like i'm not doing something right. Father torchic has JAP tag and mother smeargle is one I bred myself. I have the shiny charm and all and already a few hundred eggs in.

This is shortly AFTER I gave up on a elektrike hunt after 1300+ eggs in X. Both my X and AS games have the shiny charm and all. What the hell
>>
>>26594783
I wish GTS would automatically flush everything that doesn't get traded after a few days onto Wondertrade. That or make a separate GTS for people that want legendary/mythical Pokemon.

>>26594824
I really like bugs too, but I don't have what I need for a few. Working on Volbeat/Illumise for now because I couldn't decide what else to do.

Sounds like you're doing things right.
Sometimes the game is just an asshole. There was a gap of about 2000 eggs between the fourth and fifth shiny Combee I hatched for example.
>>
>>26594897
Just spam all 4 attacks and then use an max elixer when I run out of PP. Don't even mind cave and water dexnaving. I just run on the 4th encounter.

Okay... Legitimate question. I've tried to do several methods for shiny hunting, but I'm still some ways off from getting the shiny charm (Around ~400 Seen in my National Pokedex)... What were some strategies you guys used to get to the 700+ mark, and since you've gotten the shiny charm, how many more shinies have you caught/hatched?

Side topic answer: I was breeding a Donphan in ORAS for pokedex completion purposes, and I got a phanpy. I was moments away from trading the Phanpy on the GTS before I realized it was a shiny (!!!). I now treasure the elephant more than my life.
>>
>>26595123
Yep. I'll head back to Bank after this, but if you add my other FC, I can touch-trade you the Latias. Kyogre must be on the 3DS I'm using to trade with you since I can't find it on the other one.
>>
I was looking for a dunsparce to fill up the pokedex when i came across a shiny deerling in B2! I caught it, named him Pan, and im now training it at Black Tower
>>
>>26595156
No problem, thanks again.
>>
Hmm...Not sure what I should dexnav hunt for this weekend.
>>
>>26595138
I forgot that place existed. I've always just had enough Heart Scales and Rare Candies just from Pickup hunting in the friend safari.

>>26595147
First off, for unevolved mons in your dex that you need, you can usually get away with putting up a 5iv level 1 mon on GTS. Back when I started the shiny charm wasn't even possible to get in gen 6 yet.

Second, just run around the region and catch one of everything you need. For example, for Scatterbug's line, catch three of them, and evolve one to Spewpa and another to Vivillon. This won't take long at all AND it's a step towards a living dex. If you have a living dex, when a new gen comes out, all you worry about are the new pokemon. There are people that would be more than willing to hand you a breeject just for your dex.

As for the shiny charm, I've gotten an Eevee and Trapinch in W2. In Y i've gotten a Chespin/2 Woopers/2 Mareeps/Zigzagoon off the top of my head, not counting the friend safari. In AS since the charm boosts dexnav rates I've gotten 2 Eevees/Zigzagoon/Sewaddle/Porygon/Gulpin/Spinda/Latios/Regirock/Registeel/Zekrom, not counting chain fishing

Honest trading, breeding, leveling up, and some help from kind people. It just takes a few days if you focus on it. Get some triple Blissey secret bases to help with level up evolution if you don't have any yet.

I don't remember exactly when I got the shiny charm, but it's been at least 130 hatched shinies and about eight wild ones.

>>26595614
To be honest, I don't really notice any difference except the brighter red and purple eyes. I caught every legend shiny in OR except the Regis, the genies, and the emotions. Prepare yourself for days upon days of SR hunting along with soaring.

I had a lot more patience when I shiny hunted in Gen 4. I don't know how I did it.

>>26595277
Alright.. I've definitely been doing the Blissey Secret Bases (which have been a godsend) and have been pretty reasonable with my GTS trades, so I think I'm on the right track!

Question: Do I have to "capture" all of the 700+ pokemon? or is it enough that I see them, because I remember that for the Oval Charm, it was enough to have all 211 pokemon Seen (I'm still missing a couple of Hoenn pokés),
>>
>>26595717
You need to have "caught" every non event legendary. This means Mew/Celebi/Jirachi aren't required, among others
>>
>>26595717
You need to catch them all, barring events unfortunately. Of course, if someone trades them and you give them back then you still get the dex data.

Sweet, what are those iv's?
>>
>>26594241
Don't circle the island, it's actually pointless. Just go back and forth in front of the daycare.

The Pokemon center right there has the IV checker. Drop your mons in the daycare, then just go back and forth collecting eggs, hatching, checking, and depositing. It's the most efficient way to breed, provided you've the availability to press back and forth rather than jam the pad in one direction.

I know some people prefer to get huge batches then breed, but I have so little time to breed these days I prefer to make it as efficient as possible.
>>
>>26599466
>Just go back and forth in front of the daycare.
The point here is to not bike back and forth, it's to hold one direction and quit caring
>>
>>26595321
The Rotom is probably singular and unchanging. Depends on how it relates to the normal system (whether you can even ever use it as a normal mon)

On that note, that's sort of how soaring works in ORAS, right? It's always just the Lati@s you caught in game. I don't know what happens if you trade it away and get a different Lati@s or even the opposite version one. One assumes shininess never matters too. Can the Lati@s even be shiney in ORAS? The one you meet during the single player?

Time to do some checking.

>>
>>26599499
Again, I don't find it that helpful. The parents are usually just shitting out eggs with the Oval Charm. I tend to bounce between one to three hatches before my party is filled up again, and that's after only a few back-and-forthes. Maybe with the highest hatch rates and lowest compatibility a whole cycle would be worth it. Still, I get eggs and hatch them quickly enough on average that going all the way around the island is more of a hassle than a help.

Worse in XY where the circle is out of the way of the daycare and the IV checker. If you prefer mass breeding and mass hatching, then it's honestly probably better in XY, because the circle won't get fucked up from stopping to hatch, if I recall, and you're not breeding and hatching at the same time anyway, so it doesn't matter if you have to fly between the areas.
>>
>>26599532
>the highest hatch rates
Don't know what was going through my brain here. Mean the eggs with the longest egg cycles.
>>
>>26599501
Yeah, according to places around the internet, your Story Lati@s isn't shiny locked (though it's an absolute pain to hunt, because of the time and stuff to do between saving and being able to check). It doesn't affect the color while Soaring, though.

So even if you can switch out the Rotom, or the original can somehow be shiny, it probably won't affect the Rotom Pokedex at all.
>>
I wonder what gen 7 will add for shiny hunting.
>>
>>26596413
I like to work on evolution lines from top to bottom (final evolution to first, i'm doing a living dex) because the middle evolution's aren't usually too hard to evolve. In cases where they are, friend safari's can be really helpful since a lot have middle evolutions. There are plenty of forums online you can go on for this.

Game sync/balloon popping are also good for those pesky trade evolution items if you don't feel like doing the battle maison. There are a few in depth videos online if you're new to it.

There are also a few google spreadsheets online that list each pokemon in the order they'd show up in if you had a living dex in your PC. This helps me keep track of everything much easier and I've been working one generation at a time to keep things fresh.

I'd personally start by catching every available pokemon in gen 6. Catch doubles of every version exclusive to trade.

Hope this helps, good luck!
>>
>>26599501
Even if you trade the Latias/os away you can still soar. Both Lati's you can get int he games are not shiny locked. I'm hunting for the eon ticket one right now.

Balltism is a terrible disease.
When your favourite pokemon is genderless you have to choose between catching it in the wild in your preferred ball but getting it with shit IVs, if you breed it you can control the IVs but you can't pass down balls.
The mechanic of having to make your pokemon hold items to pass down certain things is inherently broken, by the way, but that's a rant for another thread.

Just finished by 39th box of MM Charmander. That's 1170 Charmander in the bin. Well, only the shit ones. I like to send the over abundance of good ones off into the ether through Wonder Trade. On the other hand, my boxes across two games are starting to fill up, and I have a bunch more in the Pokebank, so I may eventually just start having to chuck all of them. The problem with MM is that you tend to reach the point where you're generating tons of viable mons before a shiny ever appears, leaving you with a lot of dudes that it feels like a shame to dump just because you don't need them. I've suffered the opposite problem at least twice, though: getting a Shiny before the perfect parents had been bred. Guess I'm paying for my "luck" from back then.

Anyway, one more box for a nice even 40 boxes and 1200 eggs. Going for a Modest Mega Charizard-Y build.

I've never really had a lucky catch. Most of my catches have been post-Charm, and most of those in things like hordes (for EV training) and the Friend Safari while looking for something else. Nothing particularly noteworthy had to be done to get them either. I haven't purposely farmed for wild shinies since the radars in Gen IV. I'll probably give something like that a go to take a break from breeding after I get this goddamn Charmander. I swear, it's going to have a 0 IV for Special Attack when it hatches.

Just need to repeat the oath: the next box for sure.
>>
>>26600611
I have the same overabundance problem. I could just Wondertrade the extras, but it would probably take days considering each box takes about an hour to send off. I've released a lot as well, but there's still too many because I want to keep at least three males and females of each plus mons that have multiple good abilities, hexaperfects, rare females, and more.

Anyway, good luck with the Charmander!
>>
>>26600671
I've actually just recently built up a few Perfect 0 Atk IV Males as well. Depending on how the shiny works out, if I feel like trying again, I might switch them in for a bit until I get 0 Atk IV Perfect Female. To squeeze out that little bit more possible min maxing.

Breeding Mixed Attackers actually made it easier when keeping the good ones, because I could just keep only the Hexflawless. But with single attackers, so as long as the other 5 are perfect, the other attack IV just doesn't matter. At least there's a vaguely justifiable reason to have 0 IVs in Atk as a Special Attacker.
>>
>>26594076
Hatching old eggs I had accumulated from breeding in White version a few years back, I managed to hatch an shiny Adamant Huge Power Marill with 31 in Attack.

From my recollection, neither parent was set up to pass those traits down so this was out of the blue.

Chain fishing is the easiest method of getting a shiny. Secondary option would be Friend Safari, horde-hunting, or DexNav. I guess Pokeradar may fit into that classification also or a bit harder in terms of difficulty. Masuda Method is right below that. The hardest would probably be soft-resetting for a starter/legendary and doing random encounters.

Pretty much just fish anywhere you'd like.

Currently hunting for either Mawile or Snubbull in the FS, I like both a lot.

As for lucky shinies, about a year or so ago I hatched a random shiny Bouffalant with shit IVs after a few eggs of not even trying. A couple weeks ago I found a shiny Eevee in less than 5 encounters with 3IVs.

>>
>>26605335
I believe the PID is the first number in each entry (ex. 2234710471), which you use to calculate secret ID as explained here >>26605137

Also from the above: "There may be more than one line in the output that satisfies the criteria for the Pokemon whose IVs you have entered. In this situation, you will be forced to complete the following steps for both of these PIDs and determine which one was correct at a later time by using Random Number Generator abuse techniques."

It looks like you can rule some out by comparing ability/gender

ya the number in brackets is just a hex version of the PID that's produced.

At this point I'm not sure what else you can do other than try calculating SID from both and seeing which one works

Alright, i calced both halves and my ID, and i get this. Now here's where I'm lost, I don't know how to add this stuff like the guide on smogon says to.

>>26605892
If I figure out my shit, sure. I'd want someone to do the same for me. after all.
>>
Aiming for a shiny staryu, but i'm extremely afraid i'll end up with a shiny wailmer considering that's all I run into. Wish me luck
>>
>>26605943
if the column has an odd number of 1's, put a 1 at the bottom. otherwise, put a 0
>>
>>26605921
If it makes you feel any better mate i'm going for Mewtwo in HG, odds aren't in my favour that's for sure
>>
>>26605962
It's a bit easier in XY since you have a 30% chance to encounter Staryu there on Route 8.
>>
>>26605943
so I think it's 1110000101111000
>>
>>26605975
So 3 1's in a column equals a 1? How about 2 1's and a single 1?
>>
>>26605943
Make a 4th number so it adds up to 0, 2 , or 4

Yours is 1110000101111000
>>
>>26606001
Odd number of 1's=a 1
Even number of 1's=a 0

Is this correct?
>>
>>26605976
I'd forgotten if that one carried Recover, but good luck!
>>
>>26606010
yes
>>
>>26606041
Alright, after all that, i get 57720 as my secret ID for the first bit. Now I gotta calc the other number.
>>
>>26606052
Second number comes out to 23841. I have no way of deducing my real ID outside of testing the frames.

Hey >>26605892 give me your shiny's info. You are in emerald, right? It HAS to be caught in Emerald as a random encounter, and I need to know the exact IV's and Nature of said shiny, AND I need your trainer ID.
>>
>>26606052
I did the pid thing but the ability is wrong on both any ideas?
>>
>>26605990
I was trying to keep all of my shiny catches in ORAS since that was the newest one, but if my chain breaks i'll try in XY

Is it Male or Female? Depending on the answer, it's either 1 or 2 here
>>
>>26606216
male but like I said it has run away which is ability 1 I think. I tested hidden power and its flying
>>
>>26606236
What this means is if you port it up and evolve it, it will have Quick Feet when it evolves instead of Intimidate
>>
>>26606249
He has intimidate though, what do you mean by
port it up?
>>
>>26606270
You said Poochyena, not Mightyena. I mean if you evolve it in Emerald it will have Intimidate, but if you evolved it in any later game, it would have Quick Feet, because it was introduced in gen IV
>>
>>26606291
Ok will t still work then?
>>
>>26606318
If what I think is right, then yes.
>>
>>26606318
If it's male, and I did this right, your secret ID is 63895.
>>
>>26606373
ok thanks
>>
Alright, now that I have my possible Secret ID's, how do i do this?
>>
>>26606407
As in, when do the frames start counting up? Is there something that says when I should hit Sweet Scent?
>>
>>26606174
Fuck. Well after a chain of 35 (only 2 being staryu) i'm going to try in Y after all... Broke it by being too impatient desu.

Always listen to the sound of the Pokemon being reeled in instead of watching it. Your reaction will be better.
>>
>>26606439
I'll figure this out tonight
>>
>>26606446
This. It is so much easier not watching

After 27 boxes, I finally have another shiny male.
>>
Currently going for a shiny Magnemite. Magneton just looks so sick. I've spent the past week on it, and even with my Flame Body Talonflame, Level 3 O-Power, a foreign Ditto, and both charms, I still haven't gotten one. Any other advice (besides patience)?
>>
A friend of mine wants to get his magic 6IV ditto.
Does anyone, by some mystical property, have a spare? I can give a Celebi(hacked from ages ago) or a Wishmaker Jirachi for it.
>>
>>26607597
You'll get her eventually! Don't give up!
>>
>>26608062
I had a dream that I hatched a shiny combee the other day.
It was male.

Oh boy, now I'll have 2 shiny wailmer
>>
>>26608592
Evolve that shit bro!
>>
>>26608609
probably will - i think i'll give up on staryu for now and go after either klefki or scyther through hordes in Y.
Although I might just MM staryu next week
>>
>>26608656
>Scyther in hordes
Jesus, man. Godspeed.
>>
>>26608693
What's the issue with Scyther in hordes?
>>
>>26608693
Or maybe I won't go after scyther in a horde? what's the risk here is it just a long process or something else

Got em
>>
>>26608717
Scyther hordes are already 5%. Finding a shiny Scyther in a horde is fucking insane, unless you don't mean a shiny.
>>
>>26608779
Ayy nice! What ball if not Heal did you use?
>>
>>26608782
I meant a shiny, and that sounds like an extremely tedious challenge - but i went after a shiny gligar before for like a week so I think I can handle it.
>>
>>26608815
Once again, godspeed man.
>>
>>26608815
Nothing wrong with a spinda or swablu either
>>
>>26608782
Oh, it's the rarity of the horde? I wondered if it might be that. Usually horde problems that get mentioned are do to some other in battle shit, like attacking each other.

I completely forgot about the rarity until I was wondering what the problem could be. I farmed them awhile back for a HA scyther without too much problem. But then I MM'd a shiny one from that, so it's not like I was going for a shiny from them.

>>26608871
I got a Spinda after EV training off them for a little bit once. How I got two shiny Mukrow too.
>>
>>26605112
I've never seen this before, but I got 6 of them. Though shuckle is in my White 2 version, I never got pokebank...
>>
>>26609040
I'm holding out on GF being super nice and letting use use it for free for like a week at SM launch to send over all of our xyoras pokemon.
>>
Gonna dexnav some Porygons, wish me luck

>>26609472
I wouldn't count on it
>>
214 Ponytas and On-Going...
>>
>>26609472
>free week of Bank on SM release
>servers go down from everyone trying to transfer their mons
>>
>>26609729
Pretty much. How long was the free usage period for the original release, once they finally fully rolled it out? A month? A few months?

I don't bitch about the price tag on the bank, but Poketransfer being tied to it is a bit of a slap in the face. Even though transferring basically always required another device except from Gen III to Gen IV (And only on the original DS), it seems a bit silly to not being doing better now.
>>
>>26609611
I've been waiting for the mirage place containing porygon in ORAS to spawn for a while now, good luck!
>>
>>26609803
The very first one i found was shiny. Problem is, this was in 2014 and i traded that one off to someone. Now I want another one.
>>
Just knocked out a rayquaza fuck
>>
>>26609866
>he didn't overprepare like fuck
>he didn't count down the PP before using a last ditch master ball
>>
>>26609959
I got a critical hit mate
>>
>>26609990
>he didn't use False Swipe
>>
>>26609990
>not having a false swipe/spore catcher mon
>>
>>26610018
Damp Parasect's the way to go
>>
>>26610007
>>26610018
What ball should I use? I'm thinking premier
>>
>>26610058
This is shiny Rayquaza right? Luxury, obviously. Assuming you can't buy them, just dupe a fuckton in the battle tower
>>
>>26610029
>not having specific capture mons for the situation
Smeargle and Parasect are fine for most things. But by the time the Legends start hitting the 70's, they're really going to fucking up any Parasect and Smeargle, even if they're at Level 100 with perfect IVs.

Even with a lesser chance to sleep, it's better to use more sturdy Pokemon. Or even just bring two Capture mons, one to false swipe and tank hits and then switch in the sleeper once that's all there is to do.
>>
>>26610102
give Parasect some Leftovers so it has some more bulk. Past a certain point you'll probably want Zoom Lens Hypnosis Gardevoir or something
>>
>>26610132
I've got a lot of ideas that I've never used or tried cause I'm just too busy breeding, but Gallade gets False Swipe and Hypnosis. Then there's stuff like a pre-Poisoned Leftovers Poison Heal Breloom, Heal Block Shedinja, and Truant Durant. It's all probably way more preparation than you'd ever really need, but I like think about these things.
>>
what's your favourite shiny?

I was going to start shiny hunting, and before i left the resort area i got a mantyke on the dexnav just randomly. Wasn't planning on hunting there, but it was really nice.

I'm bored. What shiny should i hunt? First reply wins. No combees allowed.

S-sorry.
>>
>>26610491
Most of the reason people criticize new threads before hitting pages 9-10 is primarily because, on a slowish board like /vp/ it tends to lead to both having multiple threads up for hours and draws in people who only slightly tolerate threads like these and feel the need to bitch about it crowding up the board. This thread will be up for hours yet, even during hype season.
>>
>>26610538
I see your point. I guess that it was my fault thinking that >muh bump limit well dead thread guys. I guess I wanted to make a 2nd thread asap before this weekend actually finishes since some people won't even bother check the catalog to see if there's an existing thread.
