For Nintendo, reusing an already existing, unpopular, themed 3DS XL wouldn't really be too long of a long shot.
The Pikachu themed 3DSXL didn't get the sales it was expected to make, so I can see them trying to ship it off somewhere else. But I also see them just using it because it's pokemon related.

I GOT A SHINY SCYTHER LAST NIGHT AGGGHHHH!!!
Yo, new topic! How many shinies have you caught and what were they? Did you have trouble getting them or were they completely random? Shiny stories are always kind of interesting to hear!

Think we went over it a few pages back, just before repels.
Recent Red Gyarados while training for the Elite Four in Emerald. Not long before that Hoothoot in Crystal. Gyarados I was just training, so it came out of nowhere. Hoothoot I was initially looking for a Ghastly for my team, but that popped up so I nabbed that instead.

Let's see... Red Gyarados in Crystal, Gold Seaking in Firered, Silver Weepinbell in either Diamond or Platinum, and Red Gyarados again in HeartGold. So Lake of Rage, Safari Zone, Shaymin's Route, and Lake of Rage. All completely random. :> Kinda wish I didn't trade away that Weepinbell though.

Like I (think) I said before, I have a Shiny Butterfree that I caught as a Caterpie while hunting for Pikachu in the Viridian Forest in Leaf Green.
I also have a Shiny Rattata that I caught while attempting a Nuzlock run and grinding before going into the Viridian Forest in Fire Red.
I think this may be why I like Kanto so much.

What's the Masuda method?
Using a foreign Ditto to breed.
A foreign ditto or just a foreign counterpart.
I had a male NA Scyther breed with a female JAP Scyther. Instead if having a 1/8192 chance of finding a shiny, it's greatly cut down to 1/1366. Read more about it here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Masuda_method It takes a lot of patience but the results are always worth it. It's cool to have the choice for what shiny Pokemon you want.
I like breeding without using dittos because I think you get eggs faster that way. The only thing that sucks though is that you have to go on the GTS to find foreign pokemon and sometimes its a drag to fulfill their ridiculous requests for level 9 dialgas and such.

I can't even use the GTS because my DS has no internet connection! D: No foreign pokemon for me.

I stopped trying to use the GTS after Platinum for that very reason (though my Platinum copy had a broken GTS). Managed to get decent trades going in Diamond though, but I usually didn't anything good from them other than what I actually wanted surprisingly. If the GTS makes a return in X and Y (highly likely) I really hope they rig it so people can't clog it with broken trades like that.
My shinies (from memory)
geodude and gyrados: Crystal
zangoose, sandshrew and something else: Ruby
gyrados: soul silver
that's all LOL
Then I have the pichu's given away over wifi and the shiny raquayza (sp?) give out to the Japanese version for Pokemon conquest. I probably have more but can't remember

I've been trying to figure out a why they could do that without breaking the whole system. It's possible to get those pokemon at those levels, so it's not illegal in the game, which is how they're abusing it. If they could have it where legendary pokemon had some sort of restrictions in the GTS, then yeah, that'd fix the problem. But where they've gone and made it possible for that to happen in game, they pretty much ruined it themselves.
I think in X and Y they'll be able to fix it though, because I don't see any X and Y connection to the older games. If there is, then hopefully they'll figure out another way around it.
