It will not show you the seed if you use the C-Gear, because using the C-Gear modifies all the values in the table so you can't guess the initial seed.

It will not show you the seed if the RNG advances beyond frame 624, because it recalculates the entire table.
Ah, I see. So what would the change of the first value of that table indicate then?

EDIT: It seems to rewrite the entire table when exiting the Wi-Fi menu, would this mean it could basically have the same effect as turning on the C-Gear? I there a way I could verify this?
