yeah RNGing on platinum was relatively easy for shinys since it was just coin flipping, but the new one with the delays and frames makes it hard >_< took me 2 days to get skarmory perfect! gahhhh good luck!
how's your RNGing coming? i'm really sorry you didn't win :[ it was a super super hard choice! the next giveaway i hold wont be an opinion based answer methinks. i'll probably just be generous and give it to the first 10 or 20 ahaahah!
