I've been hearing rumors about the "Crosswalk" Method in the Friend Safaris in X and Y. I'm not sure about how it would work though. Could someone give an explanation to what it is?

Thank you!

Use D-Pad clockwise start at the very top of the grass patch and cross right -> <- left until you encounter a Pokemon (K/O or Faint it) then walk down from that patch until you encounter another Pokemon (It doesn’t have to be the same Pkm) K/O that one then walk <- or -> repeat until a Shiny appears. Then go Up again. Repeat.This now gives order to your walks. This method will not allow you to walk diagonally, instead it will only allow Up/Down or Left/Right walks.Do not use your Bike. Walk only.

Its a method of finding shinys ♡~♥

You start in the patch left top and go in a special path

This is kinda confusing ;_; My computer blocks these websites, so I can't go there. So, what if you go down, but don't encounter any Pokemon? Do you go back up? And when you are on the final step, you ONLY go left or right?
it works i tried it and i got a shiny drifblim (im fighting it) first try
I don't think I did it right ;_; I'm not finding any shinnies
maybe its just luck :P
You would think they would call it the ClockWise Method considering you dont actually form a cross pattern when pulling this off O_O
I think it means crosswalk like a street. :P
Ahhhh now it makes sense :D and the Corners of your turning are the Sidewalk corners amiright :D?
Right. XP
How does this work at all? I mean does rotating in that pattern trigger something special that increases shiny chances?
I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually work. Tried a few times, and I fail to see how the method could yield shinies. I think the point is that it just makes it easier/faster to encounter a Pokemon, thus your chances of finding a shiny are higher. It's worth noting that Friend Safaris have a naturally higher rate of shinies than the wild.
