[LIVE] Shiny Manaphy after 1,395 eggs hatched in Diamond (Pokemon Ranger) 

Completely lost for words even still. Shiny Manaphy after a mere 1,395 eggs hatched. It feels surreal to be uploading this video and typing this description out. The shiny of all shinies honestly. It's such a beautiful, elegant colour as well. I really, really did not think it was going to shine so quickly.
There's a lot to say in this description. I want to start by saying a massive thanks to both Cyal (TheUnderdog2020) & Mark (ShinyHunterSandslash). We've all talked a lot about this hunt for a number of years and even though I'm the final one to get it, I need to acknowledge the motivation that kept us going. You're legends, lads.

Secondly, this hunt was not fun to prepare. In total, I played through 12 copies of Pokemon Ranger and received 8 eggs. It wasn't until we discovered the Ranger Net trick when I was on my 5th playthrough. Shoutout to Cyal for spotting that. I found some cheap copies of Ranger on Ebay, game stores and charity shops. I've since sold them for roughly the same prize but I NEVER want to play through Ranger again. Awful game lol.
Thirdly, this method was super interesting and it stemmed from the idea that if you could reduce the idle time a system has so it's preparing a save file or preparing to receive eggs, it would be better over time. I truly believe this is the "fastest" way to hunt this provided you're able to get the resources. It was an enjoyable hunt that required a lot of attention and if you're genuinely interested in trying this hunt for yourself, please try it. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Also you may note that the date is different (I found it on the 9th). Well due to how RNG works in Gen 4 (and 5 I think) when I was playing two systems at once, on the same date, at the same time, I was hitting the same frame a few times when producing a new save file. I would get the same Trainer ID (and secret ID) across two different games. To counter this, Matt/AbsolBlogsPokemon suggested I have each system on different dates to ensure I wasn't getting save files which were clones of each other. It worked, thanks Matt.
Lastly, I have included an unedited version of the encounter to show legitimacy. There is a detailed explanation as to why I feel it's necessary in this case to avoid any claims of hacking/falsehood. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll do my best to provide you with reassurance provided you're polite or civil.
In order to this method, you'll need 4 copies of Diamond and Pearl (collective), 8 Ranger eggs, 4 systems. I don't wish to claim this as the best method. Best is arbitrary. You may find it more comfortable to hunt using 1 egg or 4 eggs, who knows. Do what you think is best.
Thank you so much for watching as always!
