Ok that helps A LOT. thanks
If they are currently fainted, don't count them. The RNG advancement due to roamers is because the game is figuring out what route they are going to be on. If they're dead they aren't on the map :)Question (HG/SS):
I am RNG'ing a new game for Wonder Cards, made it to the place I need to in order to RNG.
I had Entei and Raikou as roamers, killed them off.
When I go for my seed calc, do I still count them as active, or regular RNG until I beat the E4?
Thanks.

Well there goes my plan to RNG Bebe's Eevee from Hearthome City...NPCs can advance the frame without appearing to move. It happens when the call to the RNG results in the same direction that the NPC is already facing. Anyway, there is no safe mart in DPPt.
Try posting in the SQSR thread. Someone with an AR or the ability to convert pokemon to pkm files can check it for you from there. I'd do it myself, but I don't have constant wifi.hey all, new here. I've been trying to do the RNG abuse on Pearl... no luck. I need help finding my SID, I don't have any shinies or an AR... I used the lotto number trick. it gave me a number but I'd like to verify with someone who knows more about this than I. thanks
Don't do this. PokéRNG DP is outdated now - the new PokéRNG is available on the first page. If you're still using PokéRNG DP, you should update as soon as possible.It's because you're using pokeRNG.
If you want the same results I get you need pokeRNGDP which was made to get more specific results in 4th gen.
If you think you have a SID, try RNGing a shiny. If the result is identical to the expected one, but is not shiny (i.e. same nature/gender/ability), you've got the wrong SID.hey all, new here.

As said in the Black/White RNG thread, play the game through first before attempting to RNG. Asking about this in other areas of the wi-fi forum (or any other area of the forum for that matter) will incur an infraction. Sorry to mini-mod, but you can go check the thread yourself.It's probably a bit early to ask about this, but here goes...
I wanted to know if there's a way to discover what my SID is in B&W based on the month / day / year / time / delay when I start the game for the first time, as was the case with the 4th gen games.
If we don't have a way yet to determine ID / SID, can someone at least tell me when the game starts the delay counter, and when it generates the ID / SID while starting a new game? That way, if we do find out later how the game creates the ID / SID, I'll at least have the info I need, including my delay.
Knowing my SID will save me a step later on if / when we find a way to reliably breed shiny eggs, since I'll already have my SID. Thanks!
I'm not attempting to abuse right now - I just want to know how to get my ID / SID so that I can abuse for shinies later. We have no way of knowing how hard it will be to find out the SID later and I'd really rather not take the chance. As a reminder: finding your SID without an Action Replay in the 4th gen was a -HUGE- pain in the ass, up until we found the chained shinies formula.

It's basically the same. The only difference is that the calibrated time/delay will change (if you go through the title screen as fast as possible, HG/SS has a delay of about 490, while Platinum's is about 590).Okay I'm really confused about hitting my target time and delay on my platinum game.
I'm suppose to hit 22:59:50 but I don't know how to do that.
Is it the same as hitting a delay on Hg/Ss?
As far as I know, the only known way to check your SID in B/W is through a cheat device. I think you're best off just playing the game normally for now, and when it's figured out, start a new game (you'll only miss out on limited-time events, which can't be shiny anyway).I'm not attempting to abuse right now - I just want to know how to get my ID / SID so that I can abuse for shinies later.

As for the thread you're referring to, is it this one?

Could someone please simply answer my question or direct me somewhere that I could get it answered?.... I realize everyone on the forums is busy playing the games, but this isn't helping at all...
Just write down the date\time you started the game from the DS menu, down to the second. You'll be able to use it later to retrieve your SID.I'm not attempting to abuse right now - I just want to know how to get my ID / SID so that I can abuse for shinies later.

Thanks OmegaDonut, and Wichu. I appreciate your help... And now on the game! ;)Just write down the date\time you started the game from the DS menu, down to the second. You'll be able to use it later to retrieve your SID.
Who from SQSR would you recommend for me to ask to check?@Riastylis, I don't believe you can figure out your SID from bred shinies, try asking in SQSR for someone to check your SID instead.
Thanks Poppycock. I appreciate the help. And thank you too, Dark Ray^, Giratina man checked mine.
no, they don't its always the same one when you go for a particular frame.When you're rng abusing by headbutting a tree, does any of the pokemon in the tree appear randomly even though you used the same frame of your target seed?
Sigh..... Darn it. Then how do I find out which frame of my target seed is gonna make my target pokemon (seedot) appear?no, they don't its always the same one when you go for a particular frame.
i.e if you find a starly on say, frame 80, every single time you do it on the same tree you will find a starly on that frame.
I've done most pokemon found from specific headbutts trees and it always turned out the same
