I've RNG bred plenty in Gen V, but never for shinies (Exclusively to get team members). I decided to hit the "4th/5th Gen Shiny Egg" Time Finder tab just to see what I could get in my White version. I put in straight 31's for both parents, figuring that that would yield the most straight 31 offspring and therefore heighten the chances of one of them being shiny (International Breeding, too).
Anyway, it's been loading for about a day now and has gotten a little under five million searches done (and zero shiny eggs found). This wouldn't be a problem ordinarily, when I can search another months (and for the fact that if I find one reasonably-framed hit then I'm basically set for life), but as it takes so long for it to search, and as my internet browsing seems to be impaired while it's searching, I'd like to know: Is this normal? Should I have moved onto another month by now? Or is shiny breeding only for those hardcore players who manipulated their ID/SID at the beginning of the game? Because I sure didn't :/
