Pokemon Kimono Girls

Question: Can someone answer this question, it's about pokemon heartgold?
well ive been soft resetting for 2 days, so far 2046 soft resets, no shiny.
I was wondering two things.
I saved after the kimono girls did the dance, i saved right infront of ho-oh, does that mean if its normal it will always be normal and not shin?
and if I defeat him now and beat the elite four and go back, can i soft reset for him after, like will he still be in bell tower and i can soft reset for him to be shiny?
Answer: In Generation III, most of the data structures were redone. As such, a Pokémon's shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the previous generations. The determinant for shininess is instead a calculation based on the Trainer ID number and secret ID number of the player encountering it and the personality value of the Pokémon. The same method is used in Generation IV.
The secret ID and Trainer ID bytewords are first xored together, and then the first byteword of the personality value is xored with the second byteword of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is Shiny. This results in a probability of 8 in 65536; simplified as 1/8192 (2-13, or approximately 0.012207%), just as in Generation II. Symbolically:
(Trainer ID) xor (Secret ID) = E
(First byteword of personality value) xor (Second byteword of personality value) = F
If E xor F is less than eight, then the Pokémon is Shiny.
Your question is whether or not soft reseting the game at that point affects the secret ID of the encountered Ho-Oh.
One way you can determine is is to catch it a few times and record its Nature. If the Nature changes with each capture, it is safe to assume that the xor Secret ID is changing each time you encountered it. If the Nature appears to be static, then the Secret ID values were determined at a previous point of time, perhaps when you started the game.
As far as defeating Ho-Oh and returning, the only way you can really determine that is trying it out yourself.
