I never tried to shiny farm. Guess I didn’t care about catching them. Only came across one shiny in my travels and that was a feebss but I knocked out like an idiot. I wanted a shiny milotic too. Oh well.
Oh yeah, that definitely made the game tons easier instead of putting it on just one Pokémon. I just turned it off.
I agree that X was lots of fun. I replayed it a bunch of times.
