Alrighty, now for the big question...now, I was in the Relic Castle where I found out all the right pidrng frames I was on. Do I need to redo them since I left there to get the Chatot (as trying to save 50 times was driving me crazy)? Or are they still all the same as I would still be using the same time and seed.

The same seed will always starts on the same PID frame.
I just found my parameters for my white version and I've started to search for spreads, and I was wondering which encounter type to set it to for eggs. Do I choose gift, stationary, or wild for it? Also, when searching the natures for eggs, would giving a parent an everstone work the same was a synchronizer works for wilds? Also, when breeding, is it better to search for a shiny PID and then find a frame in that seed for the IVs, or vice versa?
Goody, thanks for the info.
Along these lines, how do you go about generating a seed for the Shiny Starter process? Obviously you are not going to have a TID or SID, but do you just find a seed with desired IVs and make sure the Encounter Type is Wild Pokemon? Or do you have to set it to Gift or Stationary Pokemon?
I also realize you have to set the min and max frame to 1. Anything else I'm missing for generating a seed to start the Shiny Starter process?
Ideally you'll want to hold it down before hitting A to start the game, though in cases where that doesn't work (like a Down key) you can hit it immediately afterwards. Hold it at least until the copyright page comes up.
on the pokemon company screen the first white screen, you can hold it down as soon as you hit the second, i have never tried tapping, but holding down works fine for me
after that screen you can let go
You have to make sure you actually hit your seed or you won't get accurate results.
Then you should be able to find the sequence. Unless you're in a area with NPCs or are turning the c-gear on.

So I'm RNGing a Shiny Thundurus, and the weather makes the PID advance fast and makes it very hard to get a shiny Roamer there, so do when I get down to not many more frames before my PID should I pause the emulator, check my PID frame on the RAM watch, then play it, then pause it again, check the frame, then play it again, and do that until I get the right frame? Or what else should I do?
Trying to RNG a flawless Deino in Victory Road 1F to use as a parent to breed Dark Pulse.
I hit my seed and sweet scented immediately (spread was on frame 1 so I didn't need to advance) to check my starting frame, and ended up catching:
Woobat (F) @ Rash
Lvl 37 / Unaware (Ability 1)
According to http://eggmove.com/encounterblack.html Woobat Lvl 37 is ESV 4 for Victory Road 1F, but according to PPRng that combination of nature and ESV doesn't show up anywhere within the first 150 frames.
Anyone know what's wrong? And yes, I checked the IVs to verify that I hit my seed.

If you had to walk steps to achieve your seed Frame, then that might explain your PID Frame being more than the 40-60 range. Walking steps requires turning of some sort (eventually). That would advance the PID. I'm not sure how much a turn advances the PID though. It's either 1 or 2.
Any moving (walk or turn) in an area with wild encounters will advance the PID, which is why you need to make sure you walk the same path every time when you make IV advancements. If you watch the video guide, you'll see that his PID frame starts well into the hundreds.
LOL, wasn't it in the 300 range? Honestly, that's why I try to limit the amount of walking. Just adds another variable. I can't imagine doing 9 sets of 128 steps with 1 pokemon. A seed frame of 10 is crazy IMO. Got that for Thundurus. Needless to say, I am going to look for another frame. Gotta keep it simple with the Roamer.
3 sets of 3 would be more reasonable. I always limit my frame to 6, though (because I like having an empty slot to more quickly check whatever I caught), and even then only if I can't find anything on 1.
True. That is a lot of steps to keep in order though, even for the 3 x 3. But yeah, limiting it to a frame of 6 is reasonable for me.
Ok is my Chatot fucked up or something? I scroll back and forth between the 2 of them every time on the screen and hear its dumb call I made for it for the appropriate number of times, but I'm falling either 22 before or 17 ahead some freaking how...am I doing this wrong? Do I need to exit the status screen completely or something? Because I'm hitting the seed fine, it's just the dumb pidrng frame that's not cooperating now for some lame reason, and I can't verify it any further because this dumb Pokemon has only 1 ability >.>
