Impatient, eh? I found three shinies while hunting for my own Sturdy Carbink. I can breed you one~
I don't mind taking two random legends to add to my own living 'dex, but which ones do you have to offer? PM me your FC as well (and I'll respond), I don't think we've traded before.
EDIT- Already have a 5IV Calm Sturdy Carbink waiting to be traded.

If by that you mean, "Am I the only person who's ever thought of breeding a Pokemon in a Kurt ball [and - optionally - with egg moves]?" then no:
 
Shiny Love ball Fire Fang female Mawile (I got a male but continued to Masuda for a female), and a shiny Moon ball male Gengar.
The general rule is: if you ever think "Am I the only one that _______", then no, you pretty much never are. I wouldn't be surprised if someone RNG'd, say, a shiny flawless Magnemite in HG/SS and caught it in a Kurt ball, then gave it tutor moves from B2/W2 before transferring it to X/Y, just to have a competitively-viable shiny genderless Pokemon in a Kurt ball. Hell, I wanted a shiny legendary but couldn't get a flawless one, so I settled for a non-shiny 5IV Fast ball Latias with Defog.

Just reminding people that I'm still looking for stuff! I've just updated it.
EDIT2- Also, a convenient link to what I'm missing in my catalog.
The game's been out for a year, so I've been trying to clean up my town a bit. I'm trying to get my own purple pansies (though they seem incredibly difficult to breed on your own), then I'll try and organize some flowers into a nice garden in front of my home.
Even the inside of my home's being renovated!
As it turns out, I forgot to put the vibraphone in my music room, but I also wanted to put some astrological furniture somewhere in my house, so I moved things around to make more space in the room. I managed to fit every instrument (that I have - I'm missing the Sanshin) into the room, while still fitting in the extras!
Speaking of the astrological set, that's something else I'm looking for. It's reorderable DLC only available in Europe and Japan, so I'd just need to catalog them. I currently own:
- Sagittarius arrow
- Capricorn ornament
- Aquarius urn
- Pisces lamp
...and the rest of the set is:
- Aries rocking chair
- Taurus bathtub
- Gemini closet
- Cancer table
- Leo sculpture
- Virgo harp
- Libra scale
- Scorpio lamp
I'm willing to pay quite a bit (up to half a million bells per piece, or a few sets of furniture, etc.) if someone gets me this set.
EDIT - Someone let me catalog the whole set (including unreleased ones):
Still interested in trading for Saharah stuff, real paintings and Golden wall torches, though.

Your serpenteam, technically speaking, now has a 100% loss rate.
A small tip, because you didn't do it at all: try switching during battle. Your Milotic is a total tank but couldn't out-damage my Conkeldurr's Drain Punch, Mandibuzz's Roost or Sylveon's Wish, and if I had taunt it'd be useless.
You also could've tried attacking my Mawile when your Milotic was at low health, because it was obvious you'd go for a Recover (so Sucker Punch wouldn't work), but you would've fainted me with Brine (because you're faster).
Serperior's cool, though, and I still haven't had the chance to use mine. 
EDIT- While I'm posting, would anyone happen to have a hidden ability Spritzee (Aroma Veil) or a hidden ability Karrablast (No Guard) with Drill Run?
The former is just a Safari Pokemon, but Karrablast's hidden ability is only from Black 2/White 2, and Drill Run is... a complicated egg move. I'm willing to breed any flawless (up to 5IV) Pokemon that I can in return (including 0-speed Trick Room stuff).

Aw, where's your sense of adventure? My entire serpenteam was composed of perfect-sixes! It really doesn't take that long; you just need the patience to do it. (And yes, that just came from a guy who couldn't stand looking for a Sturdy Carbink)
First off, nice callback.
Technically, perfect 6IV is detrimental more often than not, because (for special attackers) you take extra damage from confusion and Foul Play, and apart from mixed attackers it doesn't help you in battle anyways.
So if you're breeding Pokemon, 6IV is almost always a waste of time, unless you happen not to be using a 6IV Ditto (and are then reusing that 6IV as a parent)... in which case how did you even get that many 6IV in the first place!?!
EDIT- I wasn't paying enough attention in battle, but yes, I did notice that Gorebyss and Onyx were in Moon Balls while we traded. I assume, then, that you also noticed that Mawile was in a Love Ball?~

I intend to get both games eventually, but I'm getting Alpha Sapphire first for a few reasons:
- I played Sapphire first so I want Alpha Sapphire to be my first RSE remake;
- I already have a good-IV Groudon so I want to get a great Kyogre as soon as possible;
- Mawile and Sableye are version exclusives but I already have a Mega Mawile so I want Sapphire's Mega Sableye.
I'm still undecided between using Brendan with my own name or May with her actual name, though...
EDIT-Originally posted by Lunaria
Uh, what? Mawile shows up in Ruby. 
...That's exactly what I said? Ruby has Mawile and Sapphire has Sableye, but I already have a good Mawile, so I'll get Alpha Sapphire to catch and train a good (Mega) Sableye

...Double-posting? But there's good news!
According to Serebii, Secret Bases are going to return! They'll function through StreetPass as expected, but you can also create QR codes to send them to friends. There's also a flag system and Secret Pals system, somewhat reminiscent of Sinnoh's underground and Unova's Join Avenue, so that'll be interesting.

Nah, it seems somewhat logical.
With Pokebank, people that hack/dupe Pokemon are entirely willing to get extras of rare things just to Wonder Trade them (such as a shiny Palkia). Breeders have always been trading away rejects/extras that they get before they finally get their perfect Pokemon, and people know by now that it's not very fun to receive shitty stuff, so they're probably only trading away more interesting things like Phione and baby fossils. (Shinies, though? They must have bad taste.  )
Plus, it's been a while since release and there isn't really a horde of players just using Route 1 stuff to Wonder Trade for better things, so it's easier to get some of the better stuff.
As a general rule, if you get something that's obviously way too good to have gotten from Wonder Trade, just assume it's hacked/duped in some way.

I got Etrian Odyssey 4 at release (music CD and all), but only decided to start playing it after going to a convention and attending a panel about the series, which reminded me why I bought the game. I just passed the half-way point, I guess? Taking a plot break to re-train my characters again, though.
If anyone else is interested in playing it too, feel free to scan that QR code to recruit my level 20 Landsknecht/Runemaster as a guest (with level 40 equipment), for some extra help.
