That rand() function you refer to uses the same seed mechanism.
My friend made a research and proved that pokemon RNG produces discrete uniform distribution of numbers, which means it's equivalent to any other pseudo-RNG.
To make it clear, imagine throwing a coin and rolling a dice: Despite methods are different, you have equal chances of getting heads/tails with coin and even/odd number with dice.
