It will, but the NPCs can move in between each save so you have no way to track your current frame. It'd be better to not save at all, so that the NPCs do the same movements every time.

Chatots are the only way to reliably keep track of NPC advancements.
Don't try waiting for them to advance, since it's unreliable that way.

I take it you're RNGing a starter in BW2? In BW1, there weren't any NPCs that messed with your advancements.
PPRNG is Mac only, the only way to get it running on a Windows computer would be using a VM or something like that. You can use this to do it in RNG Reporter, though.
Hitting the shiny frame isn't that hard, I've succeeded in getting a shiny starter for both Black and Black 2.
Hi guys, what method is N's Zorua in Black 2 and can it be shiny?
All of N's Pokemon have the same IVs and nature. IIRC, they cannot be shiny (though really am not 100% sure of this).
Damn, guess I'll have to breed it then.
They're like traded Pokémon, they always have the same IVs/PID/etc. Can't RNG anything about them.
To answer your question:
It takes into account all WNPCs on the map, not just the ones you can see on your screen. There are five or six in the area, IIRC, and all together they will advance your PID Frame at the rate of roughly 1 per second. Hope this helps.

I would like to RNG Cresselia in Black 2 on Marvelous Bridge. A couple basic questions:
1. There aren't any WNPCs in the area, right? I didn't see any...
2. Is the nature and IV spread set when I first raise the Lunar Wing? Or when I actually talk to it? I'm guessing the latter but would like to be sure.

No NPCs, and the stats are set when you talk to it.
Yeah, they can't be shiny.
I'm using the latest version and trying to RNG on my new game. I'm doing a Wondercard RNG for English White Version 2.
I set up a new profile and did the calibration, but I don't know my IDs since I can't connect my system to Pokecheck. So I just set the IDs to 0/0. IIRC, you don't need your IDs to RNG at all unless you are going for a shiny, right?
I was wondering b/c I'm not finding any results, and maybe the bogus ID combo I put in is affecting it?

As you said ID/SID only affect when you're looking for Shiny seeds. If you don't get any results you can try change the year you are searching (and choose all the month at once, the searches are faster now).
If you still don't find any seed, you can try to use your second more common Timer0 you may be lucky and found the spreed you are looking.
(another option is to add key presses to the search, but imo this are slower search)

Also is there a list somewhere which shows all the WNPC locations in B2? cos them and timer0 are really starting to get on my nerves.
I decided to give up on rnging a growlithe -rain and WNPC are bad enough without the silly thing using roar. I think I might try and get a drilbur though, but I'm not really sure how to go about getting one.

The reason it is slower is because it is searching more seeds, and therefore will find more results. There's not much benefit to a search that ends quicker but finds nothing.
What I can't figure out is how to use rngreporter of figure out what frame to hit, because you need your sid to help run it.
Anyone have a clue why every time I attempt to find my DS parameters, RNG Reporter "encounters a problem" and needs to close?
I'm using version 9.96.5 on Windows 8.
If not, would someone please be so kind as to do a parameter search for me?

So where would be the easiest place to RNG a drilbur in Black 2 before the Elite 4?
