I guess I'm just a really agreeable person.
As for shinyhunting, my method of choice in Gen 7 is SOS chaining, since it gives you access to most Pokémon available in the wild in your game, and gives really good shiny odds after 30 calls. Using a Trevenant or Exeggutor with Harvest, Skill Swap and Trick (Trevenant) / Bestow (Exeggutor) while holding a Leppa Berry is one of the most universally used strategies for SOSing. In general, it's a good idea to do a little research before hunting so that you aren't Sand-Attacked to death and stuff like that. Also, be sure to bring a Pokémon that knows Thunder Wave to use once you've found the shiny, since status prevents a Pokémon from calling for help
Ultra Wormholes are probably the best if you just want some shinies, and don't care about which ones you get, but when you're looking for a specific target, I've found it to be surprisingly difficult. You should keep in mind that for regular Pokémon (not legendaries / Ultra Beasts), their shininess is determined the moment you enter the wormhole, while the rest of their stats are determined when you start the battle, so it's really easy to get one with competitively viable stats / nature, since resetting your game won't reset its shininess as long as you saved after entering the wormhole. Legendaries and Ultra Beasts, however, are always full odds (or charm odds, if you have the Shiny Charm), and their shininess is determined once the battle starts, *not* when you enter the wormhole.
I have a personal vendetta against the Masuda Method (thanks, shiny Torrent Froakie). But even though *I* will avoid it like the plague unless I absolutely need a shiny I cannot get through SOS, the logician side of me can't deny that it is the best way to get a comp shiny. It's not hard to find a foreign Ditto on the GTS, and a lot of times, people who offer them are looking for Masuda Dittos of their own, so many of them ask for a Ditto in return. Just trade Dittos until you get one with 4 IVs (if you get one with 5 or 6, there's a high chance it's hacked, so if you're a stickler for legitimacy, keep that in mind) and then you can use that whenever you want to get a shiny with the Masuda Method.
As for what to hunt, just hunt Pokémon you like and/or ones with nice shinies. If you've never really hunted before, it's a good idea to start off with easier hunts (in terms of raw odds, Wormhole > SOS > Masuda) and then move to harder ones. While not the easiest to SOS, Eevee could be a good first target (since I know you like Umbreon), just keep in mind that wild Eevee knows Sand-Attack, so use a Pokémon with Keen Eye, Aerial Ace, etc.
Sorry about the wall of text.

Well, all I really did was go to Google and search, "down arrow text". And then I copied the down arrow I saw. Heh heh, nothing special.

Are you asking how I joined this site two days before you or something else? Well, after I turned 14, a few days after my birthday I made an account here.

I can see anyone's IP address, which you can put through a database on the internet to derive someone's vague location. If I wanted, I could narrow down anybody to their country and maybe their city, but IPs aren't reliable for much more.
Important to mention though: I don't need to use location to track duplicate accounts. You can just use the number by itself, which is good enough for comparing accounts and figuring out if they're connected. It's not a perfect system either as you can easily manipulate your IP (and supposed location) using a VPN -- many of these guys do that.
And yeah, if you've got the answer feel free to post it. I don't have a problem with that unless people use it just to get cheap points.

Well, if you are talking about 3DS Virtual Console games, I recommend Super Metroid, because anything under (older) than Super Metroid is bad for your eyes. I got Super Metroid for the first time on my 2DS a couple of months ago (because I wasn't born when the SNES was a thing, or old enough to care), so I don't really know what it's like. Sorry I responded so late, I was sick :(, now I feel better :).
