Do I have to soft reset for shinies?
Dec. 29, 2017My DS has a broken shoulder button and I can’t soft reset on it. Is it okay to just press the power button and select the game again? Will that harm my DS? Will it make it so I can’t get the shiny I’m soft resetting for? Can I still get the shiny?

You don’t have to soft reset but the chances of finding the same shiny are slim. By that I mean it may make your shiny a normal since shinies arent evolutions of Pokemon or Pokemon in general. Its like pokerus, its a thing, but the chances of soft resetting and STILL being a shiny are rare. A shiny Pokemon is just the base of a Pokemon, just programmed differently, taking away the extra code and making it normal again. The only way I know you can still have it is one time, when I was playing emerald, I had a shiny linoone. But a couple days later, the A button popped of and I soft resseted it and believe it or not, that linoone was still shiny. So I hoped my answer helped. But I do not know about the on and off button technique. Just get a new shoulder.
