[Gen 2] The way I screamed when she finally popped up. I think I've been doing this wrong the whole time, but after around 4 months, I have my shiny Chinchou!
I've been trying to shiny hunt a Chinchou in Crystal on and off on an emulator for the past 4 months
What I think I've been doing wrong is I saved in front of the Day Care man, and if the egg I hatched wasn't shiny, I would reset my game and try again. Today, I didn't do that and just grabbed more eggs without resetting the game, and after 45 minutes, she showed up
In panic, I named her football, but I'll probably change it to Vercetti
