    I'm just interested in watching this play out. I suggest doing it in SV due to the fact that shiny hunting in that game is so much easier than in other games.

    @Ravenclawed1234 Yes there will be a point system based off of the game being played

    Such as…

    Gold/Silver/Crystal/Diamond/Pearl/Platnium - 5 Points

    X/Y/Sun/Moon - 4 Points

    Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon - 3 Points

    Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/Leafgreen/Heartgold/Soulsilver/Black/White/Black 2/White 2 - 2 Points

    Let's Go Pikachu/Let's Go Eevee/Sword/Shield/Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl/Legends Arceus/Scarlet/Violet - 1 Point

    Notes -

    5 Points - a game that did something for shiny hunting such as Gen 2 which introduced them and the original Sinnoh games that introduced many fans to shiny hunting

    4 Points - Regions that were introduced on the 3ds

    3 Points - a 3ds game

    2 Points - a game with 8192 shiny odds

    1 Point - Switch games make it very easy to get points

    Also guaranteed shinies don't count

    Bdsp should be 2 points because I’m pretty sure it’s full odds

    I feel only the games with overworld shinies be worth 1 point (let’s go, legends, scarlet and violet)

    @clasingla @UnovanZorua and @Ravenclawed1234 Should we make this a team event? That way you can enjoy the event with school and other such (I don't get a week off in April anyways)

    I think the event should start on April 9th and be a sort of a celebration of the 3ds's lifespan

    @Hey_PIKMIN

    Do you get points for finding shinies in spinoffs (like in PMD Rescue Team DX)?
