Hey there, everyone. I'm sure you've all met the frustration, where your shiny race gets pulled out from under your feet because you couldn't find the egg in time.

Granted, I know a week is a long ass time to not hatch any of one specific egg, but if you're busy, and perhaps don't have time to go fishing about in the shelter for one specific egg, it gets a tad annoying when all your effort gets thrown away. I've had it happen to me far too often nowadays (mostly because of hunting really obscure things, like Illumise).

So, to finish ranting and start suggesting, I'd like for there to be an option to stop that from happening?

As far as I'm aware, the shiny race cancels if you don't hatch any of that specific Pokemon for a length of time (a week, I think). Could that be changed to that the user only has to be active?

I can understand why the rule is in place, but your daycare can only help so much (I think I'm the only active Shieldon breeder at the moment), and real life can get in the way sometimes, leading you to forget about that Illumise or Pachirisu or whatever that you're shiny racing.

It would certainly save a lot of grief. Anyone else agree here?

Totally...useless



I question why it still exists. It was introduced at a time when we only had one slot in the shine recorder for races, and if you finished your race, but the opponent didn't, then your slot would still be occupied. As a result, we got this mechanic that forces people to either at least hatch eggs for their races, or just have it end. Since then we had changes that gave us not only more slots, but slots are no longer occupied in the same situation. Honestly, I don't care if my opponents don't finish their races, I would much prefer for hunts to never finish because of a lack of hatching eggs, be it the user's fault or not.

Agreed. Maybe that mechanic is just an old function they never got around to updating. Either way, I'd at least rather be asked if I wanted to end my hunt early or not. Just having it ended for you minimises what little motivation there was to do it in the first place imo.
