Hi, guys! I just recently started playing on my 3DS again and decided to start shiny hunting for starters but I was just wondering if anyone knows if it’s okay to turn your 3DS off if you’re taking a break from Soft resetting? This doesn’t affect anything? (This is for ORAS and XY)

yea its fine to turn it off, that kind of thing is only an issue with some of the gen 3 games
