I have heard a whole bunch about soft resets, but what are they?

Soft resetting is a feature found in the main series Pokemon games, with the exception of Pokemon Colosseum. It involves pressing certain buttons on the game system to reload the game from the start-up screen (in the case of D/P/Pt, these buttons are: L + R + Select + Start). The term "Soft reset" is to differentiate from a "hard reset", which is restarting the game by powering down the console and then turning it back on again.

This practice is widely considered useful, as rebooting the game will modify hidden data values. The values that determine the shininess of an in-game event Pokemon is of particular interest here, as are the Pokemon's IVs and natures. Soft-resetting eliminates the need to constantly turn off (and on) the game when attempting to get a Pokemon with these specific qualities. Although time-consuming, it is a widely practiced method to get a desired Pokemon.

It's when you press L,R,start and select all together to reset the game.It's used to to get shiny Legendaries or Legendaries with a good nature and IVs or for events.

I actually knew what this was, although I didn't know what the new buttons to press were so up to this point I've had to restart the DS regardless.

a soft reset is hitting l+r+select or start

lol, I used to think that it was just turning the power off and on again... But I always wondered why they said "soft" when they could just say "resseting" instead
