Both seeds are used to generated egg PIDs. I kept Seed1 constant and got changing PIDs, Seed2 constant and got changing PIDs, and when I kept both constant I got a static PID.

Code:

Seed1	Seed2	PID
0x0	0x0	C0AAEBC6
0x0	0x1	5878F4C3
0x1	0x0	5878F4C3
0x1	0x1	539702A7

The fact that we get the same PID when Seed1 and Seed2 are reversed is promising. It might not be so hard to figure out egg PID generation, even if we don't have a debugger.

Unfortunately, the egg IVs seem to be coming from some other RNG, one that's constantly changing in the background. I'll need some more testing to see if it advances "Emerald fast" or not.

A few notes:

- The game does not load if the time recorded at the last save matches the time when you reload the game. You'd have to re-save at a different time.
- The egg PIDs are loaded into memory location 02234BA4 (White) when generated. I've confirmed this several times, and it spares the trouble of checking the save files under PokeGen.
