if you only want totodile you only have to check totodile
And I only have to save once right before I soft reset and not multiple times after then I’m done ?
yeah, save before you've ever looked at the machine and then reset from there
I saw some videos that said check all three pokeballs no matter which starter you are trying to soft reset for
well would you be happy with a shiny of one of the other starters?
Nah I want shiny Totodile
