Sure would love to live in your dream world, friendo

Use the GTS more anon. It is more efficient, helps you with the rare specific mons with <10% catch rates, and it autosaves every new time you open it from the menu.
Hell, through wonder trading alone I got to 50%
You deserve it.

This. I used to gts to get a good 50% of my pokedex; I suggest using rare 5% pokemon to trade. Since I was breeding 6IV Jangmo-os I had a box or two full of breedjects to trade off to get other rare pokemon, pokemon that evolve through friendship, and version exclusives. It usually only took 15 or so minutes max to get what I wanted back.
tl;dr - put up a jangmo-o on the gts and ask for anything that isn't a legendary/ultra beast/null line and you'll get it in like 5 minutes, easy way to fill the dex

I've legitimately never had mine crash, actually, and hadn't heard of it happening to anyone.
>>30477262
Did it really crash?
I've played for almost 100 hours and I have never had that happen
What the fuck, dude

This is why Game Freak thinks they have to pander to the mobile audience.
>>30477549
my 3ds hasnt crashed since 2012
>>30477964
Mine crashed (or maybe just froze?) playing S/M once when I pressed the home button to try to turn off wireless.

>>30477986
Then why is trading such a prominent and encouraged feature if it's the wrong way to get Pokémon?
