Yeah, I see what you mean :D People think gold is the color of Royalty, but it's really purple ;)
I've heard that it's hard, but then I asked some experts at BW RNG about it, and they said it was easy if you can RNG in Gen. IV. The only thing is, that with Breeding, everything is generated when you take the egg, not when the DC man gets it. So that makes breeding a little more difficult, but not that much. CPs are even easier, since you don't need a specific ID/SID combo to get the shiny spread you want - any pokemon with any ID/SID combo can be caught flawless if you want it to ^^ So, now I'm excited fro Gen. V RNG :D
Ok, I will.
