  1. Pokemon Philosophy: Is abusing the RNG cheating?

    to be quite honest i never expected anyone would really do this when i analyzed that mechanism (way back when pac was not hacked) or when i posted about the emerald rng bug. but thats besides the point i would not expected this to go as just another accepted trick either but i was wrong again...
  2. PS3 or Xbox 360?

    it really depends on what you want to do with it i got a ps3 a week ago because of -little big planet and more sony stuff (team ico game/gow) -mgs4 -ability to watch torrented HD mkvs -free online -i am not really interested in the 360 exclusives reasons for 360 would be -price -i...
  3. Why do people think Christianity is better than Islam?

    Christianity is not better than Islam or any other religion. Belive whatever you want that's fine for everyone as long as you follow some simple rules besides the bible or koran or whatever - don't annoy everone else. honestly we don't want to be saved by you! Don't bother! We probably...
  4. Google Chrome -- A web browser by Google

    if you are scared about the license agreement which is probably a leftover of their TOS for gmail etc anyway: use chromium snapshots http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/ no need to agree to anything there i tried it - and i like it so far but I can't be bothered...
  5. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    no. it will still be the same. it only works the other way round if battery in rs dies it'll be like emerald
  6. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    if it's shut down you get exactly the same series on random numbers again (in emerald) basically that is what my article talks about (first giving the theory and then showing that this actually happens by looking at a lot of caught legendarys and the amount of clones). the 2 years is if you keep...
  7. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    almost the same says nothing at all. but anyway in theory having the exact clock time you had when starting the save (the game in rs but in case of rs it's internal clock time which you cannot change) would increase the chances of getting the exact same distribution again
  8. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    One small correction: in the article i assumed that in rs the effect would also apply. this is not the case. I made a mistake when researching the rs seeding turns out that it does use a kind of real time to seed. in rs this only occurs if your battery has run dry and ONLY in that case. also in...
  9. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    Yes and I hope anyone who understood my whole post should have an idea why. There probably is just one shiny in a reasonable time frame so you will have that one twice.
  10. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    if they are all from emerald this topic should give you the answer. To summarize no it's not coincidence and you probably all reseted until you got the only decent Rayquaza distribution in that range
  11. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    To your questions: 1. Yes, of course 2. actually restarting emerald sets the rnd back to the same state all the time. the only way to get other seeds is a) to wait a long time b) when starting new games to use different nicknames 3. to be honest other games are not that different but it does not...
  12. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    okay let me make one thing clear: similar n does NOT mean similar iv looking iv. And similar iv does not mean similar n. In fact unless you do an exact caluclation you cannot approximate how far the states are away from each other. pokemon you catch at a similar time range will have a similar n...
  13. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    to a limited extend also the other gba generation games. emerald is a little different (and a more simple to calculate) the general ideas also work with rsfl but they seed. maybe the distribution interval is a little bigger or smaller and because of the seeding you will have a random (but...
  14. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    hmm yes that was not really clear i guess. What i meant was wait a little longer before you encounter or get your pokemon. Eg: dont always bootup, skip intro load, press a to start battle instantly. A good method to make sure you get something different all the time would be to wait one second...
  15. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    the exact same ivs? not within a reasonable timeframe at least.
  16. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    the evolution from n->n+1 takes about 1/80s this is a very rough estimate (there are corrections depending on what you do of course, it means that my clicking inervals where somewhere in the 1-2s max range which sounds reasonable) and this is emerald only. Further research will be necessary on...
  17. Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    For some time there has been some confusion about the unusual amount of clones when resetting legendarys. It has been speculated that the reason for this is the way the game generates random numbers but, to my knowledge, there has never been a deeper analysis of that matter until now...
  18. Breeding Guide

    cool it's finally finished :)
  19. IVs of Wild Pokemon

    vor gba? vba-sdl(-h) would do fine for what i suggested (-h is not even required). for nds you are right just no$gba wich is 15$ non comercial SW with debug. @striker: it's probably not consistent from cart to cart. any yes shiny, fixed nature and one special some sets of ivs are probably be...
  20. IVs of Wild Pokemon

    no it's not. in DP this is the RNG (translated to c): u16 rand() { randbuf = (randbuf*0x41C64E6D)+0x6073; return (randbuf >> 16); } But it's hard to control it to exactly it's seeded on the product of a lot of values which i have not mapped and even if you had a good seed it changes...
