What was hilarious to me was when they force you to catch a Rayquaza that is automatically Mega for your fight against Deoxys. One extremespeed got it into the red. If I used its stab attacks, it would've OHKO'd it. Don't give me that shit, Gamefreak. Make there be actual work for it.

I started Sapphire today and picked Mudkip, just like I did in 2002. I'm thinking I should restart and pick Treeko instead.. there's too many water types to pick from and I'm not a huge Blaziken fan.
If it makes you feel any better, the only wild I've ever seen was a red gyarados in the friend safari. It had horrible stats.
Only 18 SRs? Wow.

The best shinies are when they appear when you're not looking for them.

For those wondering, the Lati@s that the game forces to join your team comes in a regular pokéball, despite your pokeball inventory. I sold all of my inventory but Premier Balls to see if it would use one and it didn't.
Got a calm nature with 31/x31/x31/x though so it's all good.

I really don't know why I am SRing for a shiny Reshiram, I'm not even going to use it.
This is why I don't bother with SR and it feels so good. I never battle with ubers, so SR is pointless for me. All my legendaries could be 1/1/1/1/1/1 for all I care.
So refreshing.

I'm not a Ubers player though, I just like shinies. I almost soft reseted for a shiny Castform, but I saw that it wasn't worth it.
Well in Battle Spot Ranked Battles you can use legendaries like Zapdos, Landorus, Heatran, and etc. are usable and are pretty good.
I don't deal with any Smogon formats.
Pretty sure Contest Pikachu is locked to the game.

Shiny Reshiram does look pretty cool.
Compared to:
I think that shiny Zekrom looks even better, tbh. Though both normal versions are quite good, pure white and pure black still look mighty fine to me. It would be fun if shiny Reshiram was black and shiny Zekrom was white.

I would keep it, but that's mainly because at this point in time I'm willing to take any shiny Latias. On day 4 now.
It works just like the Mirage Islands.

Is there no Ribbons for the non-Master Ranks?
So, there's no in-game way to keep track of which Pokemon won which Contests?

Contests ranks aren't pokemon tracked but trainer. Once you hit Master all your pokemon can go to Master. Only when the pokemon wins master does a ribbon appear for that pokemon

Yes get a synchro with the jolly nature and put it on the first slot of the party. It does not have to be alive, so you can use a dead low level synchronizer.

Yes, and put them in front of your team before the battle; it can be Dead or Alive. You will have a 50% chance of same nature.

This one reminds me of "The Dark Knight Returns" (comic, not movie),
that scene in the mud.
Why? Because of the small changes?
His Turbine Tail glows Green in addition to his head stream.
Is ralts the best synchronizer? Would I need to have a jolly nature lead against one to get a jolly synchronizer?

Ralts is one of the easiest to get IIRC, and I don't have an answer to the second question, unfortunately.
Haha, congratulations.
I hope you get your IV and nature of choice.
And no, Synchro does not work with Mystery Gift Pokemon. Stupid Diancie codes not having guaranteed 3IVs...

Oh man, DexNav is awesome for my in-game team...
See, I only had one member so far, Marshtomp, who was like 28-some and I was worried everyone would be way behind...but like three easy chains, and I caught an Electrike, Gulpin, and Numel all around Level 25, and with great attacks. Nice.
Now I just gotta get Spoink and Cacnea. Can you use the DexNav in the desert?

Yes. It can take a few tries though because there's not a lot of searchable sand.
You can use DexNav anywhere but bring a repel on the desert since they move.

So, they sort of changed the goals of Team Aqua and Team Magma to be less "water vs. fire durr" to, like, the power of nature vs. human development? Just met Archie a bit ago and it seems like they were going for that now more so.

Congrats. Still waiting on mine. ;_;
Oh YES CAUGHT IT. Had to waste my master ball because it didn't stay in any of my luxury balls and I didn't bring status It was at 1 HP and after 40 turns I knew it was running out of PP, so I master balled it.
It IS Timid IVs:
Latias - #380 (Timid)
HP: 4 - 6
Att: 10 - 13
Def: 31
SpA: 31
SpD: 24 - 26
Speed: 31
What a beaut. The only bad thing is the low HP IVs, but everything else is pretty much perfect. YAY!
EDIT aaand a picture!

Yeah, that's what I fear when I get my Eon ticket. The jerk will finally come up shiny and won't stay in balls I want. Though totally worth the Masterball. Quite nice on stats too! Sure, the HP is low, but fact it came in shiny form is worth it.
Edit: How many SRs approx. it take ya?
I didn't count, but I did time it. Took me just under four hours combined and each encounter was about 30 seconds. So somewhere about 480. I have the shiny charm do that might have helped.
