Thanks for this, it's nice to have a chance with a less time intensive way to get a dex promo :)

I work full time so i sympathise with a lot of the guys here. I think to avoid 'confusion' (well, it's not confusion but it's the nearest word I can find) maybe have a message saying -

"The Timer Has Started!"

It might be fairer on everyone who checked the puzzle first, then went "ooh, whats this?" - then came across to the forums for 5 minutes to look. I'm not on about adding a countdown, just a message to say it started.

That way no-one can say anything and everyone has the same chance to win as it's pretty clear there's a timer and the countdown has started as soon as you clicked the puzzle so it's your own fault if you do something else.

Although no matter how you try to fight it people will always find a way round it. Those people with 2 or 3 very quiet family members who never ever post, all playing off the same IP, will suddenly decided to "give" all their specials and shinies to the main account so you will not stop people getting 2 or 3 shineys on one account.

Luckily since everyone can get one pretty easily, the trade value is pretty low so no-one gets ripped off hopefully.

Or at least I'd love to have an equal chance to win the Shiny.

Blackviper and me had a bug for example. There was a piece of the puzzle missing... so.. sorry? what else than starting once again could we have done?
Without the bug, we would have had at least the equal chance to win the shiny in that certain time.

I mean... are we respnsible for a bug now?
Is that fair?

Wait, if you solved the puzzle within 5 minutes you should get a shiny?
I definetely only need about 4 Minutes.
I know it because I listen to Shinee Lucifer while solving, and it is 4 minutes long. I solve the whole puzzle until the song ends and I didn't open the puzzle before or surf around while solving O.o
I already wondered how fast you should be for gettin the shiny, if 4 minutes was too long^^'

I was fast too.But I think to be fast just highers your chances of getting the shiny. Maybe the steps you needed are counted too. So if you have to replace many pieces you didnt get the shiny.
Just a thought. :?

As for Giratina I think it's just fair that the ultimate Orb for 5000$ is available.

So you can re-use the Griseous Orb ?
You can give it and get it any time ?

Just wondering, if it's "Giratina RETURNS" then how come it doesn't have the SECOND star instead of the normal one? Or was Halloween sort of a pre-release and this is the official one?

Either way, glad it's back! Missed it the first time and got the normal one now!

There isn't a time limit for the normal one. It's just if you want the Shiny version that you have to be fast. I don't know how fast, though.

MichiyoSaitou, yes thats a good question.
Just saw the puzzle, but today I'm very tired and I don't want to decrease my chances. But if it is just for today I will give it a try now.
