Yes, this is seriously how long it took. Each soft reset takes one minute and three seconds if playing optimally which I most certainly wasn't frequently, although starting at 16384 resets (twice the odds) I started dual hunting on a copy of Black 2 as well, so you can effectively cut every SR's time in half after that. I don't remember when I started, but I always would watch TV shows whenever I would hunt, so here's all the shows I went through:

Gurren Lagann

SpyxFamily (season 3 hype!)

The Sopranos

Parasyte: The Maxim

Kaguya-Sama: Love is War

Last Week Tonight seasons 1-3

Assassination Classroom

King of the Hill seasons 1-7

And finally, the little bugger showed up during the second-to-last episode of Horimiya!

Prior to this, my longest hunt was somewhere in the 16000s.

If you had to pick one word to describe the emotion you felt when you saw him, what would that word be?

Awesome shiny btw.

Honestly, relief. I was legitimately worried my cartridge was so old that it somehow fucked up the random number generator lol

Side note: I love Gurren Lagann!! 😎 Studio Trigger also put out Kill la Kill which is another all-time favorite of mine!

...just in case you need another show to binge during your next hunt!
