I got a male Pika and named it Sparx, have both Nidos fully evovled (before Cerulran) named after Adam and Eve. btw buy the Magikarp, you'll get a funny message in the text box.


EDIT:Also these games have one of the easiest shiny hunt methods As long as you do not catch a pokemon of the wrong species it continues till they run from you (or presumeably the game is turned off) but it has to be the same part of the evo line, so hunting for Caterpie, Metapod and Butterfree will break the chain.
