^Immediately after starting game and hold onto all those keys until before "The Pokemon Company" logo appears.
Sigh..... It's no use. I give up. -_-
I guess I was right along. I'm just a average person (average smogoner). :(
I have the same doubt.
I need to handle the keypresses until the "The Pokemon Company" logo appears, or there is no difference if I hold them until it disappears?
I usually hold them until I see the shooting stars and I hit my seed, so I don't think holding them longer makes a difference.
Thanks!!
And there is no difference in your calibrated timer0 and the one used with keypresses?
There shouldn't be any difference, but I'm not completely sure. Test it, and see if you can hit a seed. You should be able to :]
So, using a DSi we're still supposed to be able to do C-Gear seeds right? I've been trying and have gotten nothing but might it be user error? >_>
Yes you can hit c-gear seeds on a DSi.
Be more specific. What do you mean by "have gotten nothing?"
You can't find what delay you hit? Or you know what delay you hit but you keep hitting the wrong delay?
You should know that frame 1 in Reporter 9.81 is your starting frame not frame 3. Example: if your target is on frame 5 you need to advance 4 frames (128 steps | 4 Pokemon in party).
K then, that's probably it. I've been operating under Frame 3 = Frame 1. Would that explain why I can't find the delay I hit?
Hi, can anyone help me find out what is wrong here? Does the initial starting frame finder not work?
I was using the full seed 0557E84C06CA869A to find a shiny litwick in the tower. The starting frame finder didn't work, so I found the starting frame to be on 56 manually.
When I do 6 chatters like it should be from there, I get a bashful female litwick with ability 0. However, when I do 1,2,3,4,7,8 chatters, they all match up. What am I doing wrong here?
The date and time settings are 11/18/2011 3:05:22 with a+right+down keypresses if that is needed.

bump :( is anyone able to tell me what does it depend on?
edit: also, i discovered that hitting the same seed and doing 3 chatot flips makes the rain become "common" in the final part; doing 1,2,4,5,6 flips keeps the storm until the end... =(
I have abuse for roamers quite a few times and I never encounter such a problem.
During winter it is suppose to snow, then after your short conversation with the roamer, it would roar and rain would then begin to fall.
Also is it really affecting your frame or every time you advance 3 chatot do you get the same results?

I'd say just get yourself a new seed.
the common rain takes a little more time to disappear, and the frame hit jumps from around 620 (when there is only the storm) to around 640, and this common rain appears usually when i advance the pidrng 3 times. i'll probably try another seed, i'm becoming mad, but i have to restart the game because i was softresetting for a shiny-flawless tornadus..

So, I'm trying 5th gen wondercard abuse for the first time. I'm working on that Japanese shiny cherish ball Hydreigon. Kaphotics and Bond both told me that the nature would be screwey, and I can handle trying different seeds till I happen upon one that gives me Timid, but as for the IVs I'm a bit confused. I've read the guides (set your search to 5th gen wondercard, saves advance your frame by 1, etc), and I have tons of experience with Eggs, and Stationarys, and Wilds, and all that, but after trying 5 seeds 8 times each I've yet to get the predicted IVs once.
I'm doing something wrong.
I'm certain I did my parameters right because I RNG'd a couple random wild mons a few times before I started on this wondercard. I know I searched for Wondercard spreads and not a different type, because my RNG Reporter is STILL open.
My basic process is to boot from the DS Clock Screen a second before the target time, immediately hold the button combo till the star scene, starts on frame 1, save to advance to target frame, check IVs (I know what the stats should be at L70).
I haven't come across the proper IVs in 40 Resets. Any ideas what I might be missing here?

Because you need to walk 128 steps with 1 pokemon to advance the IV frame with 1. Saving is for the PIDRNG framesSo, I'm trying 5th gen wondercard abuse for the first time.

And then I found this on the first page of this thread:
Wondercards have no relation to the MTRNG, and have their starting frame based on the seed. Have your Minimum frame be 60+ to allow for the PIDRNG's initial advancement.
So maybe that's an idea.
doing it on a flash card, but i don't know how it can influence my results... well, thanks anyway =)

I appreciate the thought, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that. I talked to Kaphotics last night on #smogonwifi and he said the reporter was set up to handle the frame 60 part. Frame 1 is frame 1 for all intents. Unless I'm misunderstanding him and the guide.
Hmm, I've got a handful of RNGed Wild, Stationary, and Gift (so, RNG Captures) pokemon, and now I'm starting on Breeding.
I've got flawless Parents, and I'm going for a Flawless (31/31/31/31/31/31) poke. I hit my seed (or I think I do, but I can hit my seed, like, 98% of the time), Hold down Left+L+X as it says (and I hold it for most of the ceremony at the begining, so I can't have just not held the buttons long enough) and then I take the egg, but when I hatch it, it always has the wrong IVs (I can't tell you the exact ones because I'm using the Judge guy, and he doesn't give exact IVs =/)
Do I just keep trying? Or am I clearly doing something wrong? (and yes, it's a Frame 8 spread)

What I do to check for IV on bred pokes to find starting frame is I use 20 rare candies that I got from the Royal Unova (Sundays) to level up the poke and plug it into the IV checker. Then you would compare the perfect IV's from your parent's to the blank ones in the frame with the nature/ability/gender of your poke to see the starting PID frame which should not be too far from the "calculated" frame. After which you simply restart the process without saving and go for your desired frame or advance 1 frame or 2 using Chatots to verify the initial frame you just estimated then go for your desired frame.
