Victory road 1F, yesThis sounds silly but... are you sure you're in the right location?
So just to make sure, the first column is the PIDRNG frame? Is the starting frame static, like the Mersenne Twister RNG or does it have to be calibrated too? Also, does the pitch of the Chatot cry have to be the same as the one that is shown?I think I've spotted your problem. You aren't hitting the right PID frame. Just because you selected the slots for Deino doesn't mean it will appear on your starting PID frame. Try this: Go to the main window of reporter, and at the top change the method to method 5 PID RNG. The encounter type should be wild pokemon. Select a synchronize nature if you're using a syncher. Now copy/paste your seed in the right spot. Then, go to the right of the window and click the button that says calculate initial PIDRNG frame. Finally, hit generate.
Now, you might notice that the slot listed for your starting frame is a slot number that yields Durant. Find a PID frame that has one of the slots you need. Now hit your seed, but don't sweet scent yet. You need to hit your target PID frame first. To advance the PID frame, get a Chatot with chatter and teach it a custom chatter. Now when you view its summary, the frame will advance by 1 each time. Saving also advances by 1. You can also advance the PID frame by walking where you can encounter wild pokemon, like grass or caves, but this is unreliable.
Anyways, to hit your target frame, just take your target frame number and subtract your starting PID frame from it. That's how many times you need to advance the PID frame to get your target.
Hope this helped. I also hope I didn't get ninja'd, since I'm on my phone and it took forever to type.
Edit: Lol I knew that would happen (And the difference in time was 10 minutes .-.). Maybe I shouldn't have explained the whole process.. you probably already knew how to do all that stuff. Oh well, glad we found your mistake :)
that is because every frame in a seed is not syncable...syncable frames are bolded..... so it searches syncable frame seeds only which is rare compared to the seeds found without checking off the "sync frames only"...One tiny question: When looking for shiny stationary Pokemon, would checking the "Synch frames only" box lead to more or less results compared to leaving it blank?
Yes, the first column is the PID Frame value. The starting PID frame is different for every seed, but it will stay the same for that seed (unless there are NPCs in the area; then you will have to calibrate for a Shifted Starting Frame, or SSF). The starting IV frame will always be 1. The Chatot pitch doesn't have to be the same as the one shown, it will be the same as the one shown if you hit the correct seed. Some people use Chatot pitch to confirm if they hit their seed or not, but I don't because my ear isn't really good at picking out Chatot pitches. If the pitches you're hearing don't match Reporter, then you hit a different seed, which could be because you missed your timer0 or keypresses, or your target time, or you didn't set the correct date.So just to make sure, the first column is the PIDRNG frame? Is the starting frame static, like the Mersenne Twister RNG or does it have to be calibrated too? Also, does the pitch of the Chatot cry have to be the same as the one that is shown?
Sorry for all the questions, this is my first attempt at manipulating a pRNG.
That's normal that you're getting 2 different timer0s, everybody does. It's just that most people hit one of their timer0s more often than the other, and some people hit both half and half. From my knowledge, there isn't a way to force it to spit out just one. But don't think of this as a complete disadvantage; since you can hit 2 timer0s, you can have more seed possibilities, so you'll find more results in the time finder.I'm still learning non-C gear seeds RNG for White and I have a few inconsistencies.
I always get (whether or not I'm holding down buttons for keypresses) either C7E or C7F for my Timer0. Is there a way to make it consistently spit out just one Timer0 instead of randomly giving me one of the two?
Even if I don't have any buttons held, I get C7E or C7F. When I do have buttons held, I still get C7E or C7F
