Only a little bit, but still better than nothing. Thats why I want to wait to get any more shinies till I have the Shining Charm.

RNG is still working, so it feels more statisfactory when you do that than just getting an external program to generate what you want.

Well you have a point there, and also getting shinies to easy ruines their novelty.
Well cloning my shinies did that for me, still got me some good trades.
And then I suddenly was someones cloning guy and that ruined pearl for me :d.

I have a shiny Oddish in gen III I like to clone and then send forward in time, but I generally don't abuse it that much. All I used it for in White was getting a tornadus from the GTS with it.

Its too hard for me to try to pull off anyway. I have an AR that I could use to clone, I just choose not to use it.

I never RNG for shinies nor will I, I think it takes the value away from them, though if others want to I don't have a problem with that.

They don't have as much value if you RNG them, IMO. I like the challenge and the satisfaction of hatching the shiny that you worked so hard to obtain.

Every single one of my shinies Ive worked for, some have taken a super long time like my Mesprit, took over a year of off an on resetting to get.I would take long breaks when I got tired, but I kept at it.

I wouldn't know about shinies, but I both IV bred and RNG'd good IV'd pokémon, and since both take trouble I'd have to say both are just as statifactory. Wouldn't know if shinies are different, as every shiny I've gotten so far was just by chance or GTS trades, I didn't really have to do much trouble for that.


All this talk about RNG makes me wonder you guys are hypocrites about being against competitive battles.

Pls, I like competitive battles. Stop jumping to conclusions like that.

But everyone criticized me for my ideas regarding fixing the metagame, so I assume everyone hates competitive battles.

Maybe they just genuinely hate your ideas, because they suck or don't fix anything or whatever, and not actual competitive battles.
