I see now why it's so confusing. Your set-up looks right. It changes to Alert to Sounds when I leave the TID and SID set to 0 (or input my info), but matches what you have when I input your ID's. Well, based on the results you're getting, I'd say still go with the 54 chatters and ignore the Charactersitics. I really don't know why it would change (and I'm not sure that it should).
hmm the sassy on my RNG window says capable of taking hits where yours says alert to sounds.
The PID can change based on the TID and SID of the user. The PID and IVs are what determine the Characteristic, so it's quite normal for the Characteristic to be different for a different TID/SID combination.
That's right...Thanks chiizu! Do you know why though the game doesn't seem to match up with what the reporter with his id's is telling him?
Are you sure you typed it in correctly? When I put in your Id's it's still shiny. It's possible that you actually hit frame 106 (the one directly after it) since it has the same characteristic. That, or you didn't input your id's correctly when you found the seed. You can try doing 1 fewer chatter or being a little quicker. Not sure if it works like NPC's and if you resave, it will cause the advances to be different, but you can try that too assuming you still don't get it. I would double check to make sure those are you actually id's though just in case.
haha something had to have changed. you can try re-opening the reporter but I highly doubt that's the problem. It it was shiny before, it should still be shiny with the same info
It's probably because of the wrong timer0, causing you to hit the wrong seed and thus get the wrong IV's. Nothing you can really do except keep trying, although some people find using an external timer helpful to hit the right seed. :)
Ouch. Sorry about that. Here's hoping you find a new seed without too much effort!
oh... so do i need to calibrate again or do i just keep trying? sorry if thats a stupid question xD
haha, no not at all. Just keep at it. If it starts to get excessive, you may want to consider recalibrating as you may not be using your most common timer0.
ah i see.. i guess i was getting impatient-- i'll try again tomorrow. thanks a bunch :)
Oh, so then I think the adjacent seed tool would be fine. Do you have ranges on all of your parameters? I think the Vcount might change with the 3ds iirc. Did you try making the seconds even larger (+/- 30). Sometimes the 3ds is slow to boot up. Ok so, you are putting in the seed time into the calibrator (which as a side note, I'm assuming you're actually trying to calibrate?)? Are you pushing any buttons on start up, and are you starting your game at the seed time or earlier?
My Vcount has remained consistent throughout all of my calibrations, so I doubt it's that. I also checked at +/- 30 seconds, though it matched nothing, which I figured since my 3DS has only an 8 second delay when loading the game up. I'm holding B and R on start up and I'm starting 8 seconds before not at the seed time (I'm aware you don't start at the same time as the seed time. I've rnged before). I'll try to get pictures though I've already closed out of PPRNG.
Thanks. I think a picture would help. Based on the fact that you hit the right time before but didn't get the right seed, you might not be putting in the correct keypresses in the calibrator (or using the right ones). Just a theory though.
I definitely put in the right keypresses. And yes, I'm using the calibrator just to see something since the adjacent seeds tab doesn't have whatever seed I'm hitting.
Ok. Well, for now I guess just double check to make sure that you input the right keypresses/are using them correctly (unless there's a bug in the PPRNG, that's the only reason I can come up with for you to get the right time and parameters but not the right seed), and that you are actually putting in the time you press A on the ds menu into the calibrator and not the time of the seed.
It's basically the same as the DS Lite, iirc. I don't know the specifics, but I think the delay is 3 seconds for DSi and 8 for 3DS. Hopefully someone will correct me/answer you.
Sakuretsu is correct. It's the exact same process, you'll just have slightly different ds parameters and delays from your Lite.
