Which point in the game do you need to save before you soft-reset?

Question

Cowabunga!
I'm going to get SS tomorrow and I'm gonna soft-reset for a shiny starter.
Where do I need to save before this? Do I have to listen to Professor Oak 1000 times?
Or can I save at my house?

Answer 1

You should save right outside the Prof's house and then keep soft-resetting (after you recieve the Pokemon

But its not worth it since its a 1 in 8,192 chance so even after 8,192 soft-resets the odds of getting one is still 1 in 8,192
