Did anybody know about skipping frames? I skipped 170 million frames using this method and though it may have already been known I'm somewhat proud of it. Here's what I did:
1. In RNG Reporter, search for the frame before your target (may take a long time.)
2. Note the nature and IV's of that frame, and open IV's to PID.
3. Type in the nature and IV's and click Generate.
4. Go into the Lua Script provided by Kaphotics and look for the line with the seed location.
5. Press A or whatever on the target and use states to get to the exact frame before IV generation.
6. Open the Memory Viewer and go to the location found earlier. Type in the seed found earlier (the one with crap IV's.)
7. Unpause the emulator and your target will be before you.
Worked perfectly for me. I also have some tips on SID abuse I'll post later.

Oh man, I feel like a sucker now for leaving VBA running for about 5 days now... Interesting method to say the least.

Edit: Seems kinda dodgy though but then again the pokemon is already from an emulator so it might not be that bad... Once I get what I want with my current spread (shiny Careful 31/31/31/7/31/31) I'll look into getting that Lua script to work on JP Emerald.

I might as well post this in here now although I encourage someone to rewrite it because I suck at writing.

For those that want to use RNG abuse for your SID on 3rd gen emulator first you need to grab an Lua script from here:
http://projectpokemon.org/forums/sho...922&viewfull=1

You'll need VBA RR to use the script though. When you run the script the seed will be displayed in a box. If you remove the last 4 digits of the seed the remaining ones make the number generated (ie. 01DBBC30 becomes 01DB, which is 475 in decimal). From there you just need to have the SID generated in a consistent amount of time (save state at the screen after you enter your name and set A to autofire). Load the save state and let it run for a little while doing nothing so you get a list of seeds generated, then load the state and enter the game as quickly as possible (using autofire). Find out how many frames it took to generate the SID from your save state by figuring out your exact SID (either the SID in pokemon summary code or by RSE decode) and looking through the the seeds that were generated by the script (copy and paste into a spreadsheet to make it easier and you can use some functions to display only the part of the seed you're looking at, which is everything but the last 4 digits). You'll need to convert the SID you got to hex to compare it to the seeds first though. From there it's just looking through the seeds for a SID you could use (searching in hex) and you advance the frames of the save state to hit that frame, taking into account the amount of frames it takes to generate the SID.

I know this isn't organized so if someone wants to reorganize it feel free to do so as I'm absolutely terrible at writing in general. The script was made by... I forget but Kaphotics edited it for RNG abuse (and there's a link to it in the thread with the script), and the RNG info was from here: http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/pid_iv_creation#what_is_a_pid.

It helps to modify the Lua script so it writes to text with line breaks in between so you can copy to a spreadsheet.

In theory this could be applied to a retail cart via cheat device (ie. press GS button to set the seed). You would have to change the code if you want to set it to a different frame though...

Now that I think about it I have to say that this is a grey area, even for emulator abuse. Even though it gives legitimate results it is too similar to using codes to get what you want. Especially since that this method is impossible on a retail cart w/o a cheat device. The old method, while highly unlikely to pull off, is possible. I won't be using this method myself unless its usage becomes widespread.

Many use this.

There needs to be a tag akin to "Emulator Used" that you will have to add if you used this method instead of waiting.

Add (RAM Hack) to the Emulator Used tag. Because that explains exactly what was done.

Do not leave the codes active when you are encountering the Pokemon either.
Additionally, this method can only be used to skip the wait time in the 3rd Gen. Anything else is not allowed.

Anything else is not allowed.
What actually is Anything else? Also I am pretty sure, I am not going to use this method anymore.

I've decided not to use this either. When you have to put RAM hack next to a pokemon I'm quite sure that noone will ask to trade for it.

By the way if you leave the cheat on when you encounter a pokemon I believe it will call up the same number all 4 times so that's why it wouldn't be legit. ie if you set the seed to FFFFxxxx the PID would be FFFF FFFF and the IVs would be FFFF FFFF (flawless). Which is an impossible result. I'm pretty sure there is not a single result where all 4 values would be the same.

Also, in most cases(not masterball), the ball will never capture. And yeah Ram Hack(Mostly the word hack.....)
