Indeed, the calculation isn't taking those things into account like it should. I should be able to get the fix into the next release.

Next, would it be possible to add a 'breeding' mode to the seed searcher, where it takes into account inheritance when applying the IV filter? For example, a seed with the IVs 31/2/17/31/31/7 that inherits Attack and Speed from the father and Defense from the mother on a PID frame within the PID frame range would pass the filter in this mode.

This will take a bit of time to implement, and won't make it into the next version, because I want to get ID abuse released soon. I'll need to do some experimenting as to the number of results this will produce, because if you only want to specify values on 3 IVs, the number of hits you'll get for that will be very high (I got 89 matches on 3 IVs set to 31 for IV frame 8 for a single day with up to 1 button press). Unless you limit it to the first 10 or 20 viable PID frames, the likelihood of getting the inheritance you want for any given seed is also fairly high (I picked a couple of results from those 89, and saw most of the possible inheritance variations that would yield flawless eggs appearing in the 50 frames starting from PID frame 50). Still, I see how it will be useful if you are looking for a very specific set of parameters with minimal frame advancing.

Also in the seed searcher, could you add a minimum PID frame box? It would be nice to have the shiny frames with a low (unhittable) PID frame not counted.

I'll add it in for the next release.

Finally, I really like RNG Reporter's Researcher feature. Would it be asking too much of you to add something similar?

I'd like a feature like this as well, but it will take some time and will be of a lower priority at the moment.


Thanks for the helpful suggestions.
