If it's alright I can pledge at least 300 eggs. I just got my shiny charm after spending forever trying to get a good Shinx, so hopefully I'll get at least get one in that time period. If not I'll probably do more, I'm determined to get it. xD
 
Just got my Shiny Charm a few days ago and am finally ready to start contributing to this thread. (I read it intently as I was working on my dex.) I use a Japanese Ditto with another English parent. I also tend to use a soft-reset method (denying the first then hatching the next five and resetting) only to avoid filling up my PC. I have a number of targets in mind so I'll check in periodically.

35 eggs / 1 shiny Fennekin (Modest 31/XX/31/31/31/31)
185 eggs / 0 shiny Noibat (in progress)

Holy crap that's a lot of shinies. /cry.
What's your method for gathering and hatching eggs? Just curious. I'm kinda sick of releasing eggs.

I hope you get your shiny shinx! I got one and he is amazing! Still waiting to level him up though.

For me,
Total: 2730
Shinies: 2
Shinx @ 1930
Furfrou @ 2218

Get 5 eggs each time and hatch....LOL

But now i follow a certain pattern...

First, u get eggs and hatch them as usual....after around 120+ eggs, if u dun get a shiny, go to Kiloude City pokemon center and tip that singing guy. next, go back to the guy and reject that very egg. then continue to get the next eggs and onwards....not sure if it actually works but the last 5 shinies i got I'm following this pattern. Then everytime u wan to change a breeding target, do not reject the last egg of that previous species of pokemon. Take that last egg, change yr parents and continue. Also, after changing the species of pokemon, i will tip different guy.... in this order...

1st: Kiloude City singing guy
2nd: Phil the photographer (at the same route where the daycare is)
3rd: the man and woman inside the Battle Chateau.

Thanks! I'm going to try that once I've finished hatching these eggs.
Every now and then I've tipped the people in the Chateau with no effect so far.

Also, now up to 2820 eggs hatched. No extra shinies yet.
 
Question before I start helping with the cause (Also first post, long time lurker). A friend gave me a hacked ditto with it made to appear from South Korea. Does the game still recognize it as foreign? I wanna help out but I want to make sure I'm getting accurate results.

If it is from a country other than the one your game/DS is set in, it should be registered as foreign. Especially if it has that little banner by the Pokemon's name, indicating a different country. If it does not have that, may not be recognized.

Alright, that's all I needed to know. I wasn't sure if GF had checks for those sorts of things. Thanks.

I guess I can pledge 500 eggs for an Aron to start off with. :)
 
I wrote a script on octave for fun about finding shiny egg. :D

file name: prog.m
write this in file using a notepad
shiny=0;
nonshiny=0;
for i=1:numberofeggs
if(rand<1/512)
shiny=shiny+1;
else
nonshiny=nonshiny+1;
end
end
totalegg=shiny+nonshiny;
shiny
nonshiny
totalegg
BTW when you use the shiny charm and MM the possibilty to find a shiny in an egg is 1/512 right? :D

edit: exemple
