I reset my game 13,567 times to see a shiny Dialga.
And BTW I only talk like this when mumbling to my DS. ;)
Okay, I'm going to address some comments here because n00bs keep posting them without even reading earlier comments or listening to my awful narration:
-I borrowed a Dialga from a friend to get its Pokédex and power up the Repeat Ball's effectiveness.
-I did not use any cheat devices. I don't own any cheat devices. If I did, I'd have used the MKDS Live Ghost code to make better MKDS replays by now.
-Four weeks. 500 resets per day. That's 14,000 resets, which I was just under. Sounds reasonable? My timeline is corroborated at http://www.pkmncommunity.com/showthread.php?t=19247&page=464 through to http://www.pkmncommunity.com/showthread.php?t=19247&page=474
I'd show you my Journal entry which consisted of nothing but "Started from Mt. Coronet, Started from Mt. Coronet, ...", but the game only holds onto those records for around a week and a half. I'll do it for my next soft-reset shiny. ;)
