^ It might be just wandering NPCs messing up your frames. Since your starting frame is 41 and you're doing 10 flips, it looks like you haven't calibrated for NPCs yet.
Are you referring to finding my actual starting frame?
Alright, so I am aiming to get a gift pokemon and there is an NPC where I am at. The frame I need is 156, and my start is 49. I chattered 107 times and mashed my buttons to get it before the NPC moved. My IV's were wrong, so I must have missed my seed. But what bothers me is that I got the nature I wanted, but the wrong ability. I checked the output box and there is no result that is even remotely close to what I wanted and what I actually got. Any thoughts?
If you missed your seed then you're not going to find any results that were close to your target.
the way I did it was that, when I first start the game up after setting the date and time and whatnot, I mash the X Button to bring up the menu, but I didn't do any Chatot flips, instead I press B to exit the menu and IMMEDIATELY hammered the A Button to talk to the Old man as fast as I could and got the egg, then I hatched it and compared it to any frames near my "Calculated Initial PIDRING Frame" and used the frame that matched as my Shifted Starting Frame instead of the one that was Calculated and depending on how many frames away from my original starting frame my shifted frame was, I subtracted the number difference from my Chatot Flips.
For Example, my original Starting Frame was 42, I then hatched my Egg and matched the Gender/Nature/Characteristic and IV's (after spamming rare candies) to any nearby frames, in this case I got Frame 46, witch is my Shifted Starting Frame, now my target Frame was 72 meaning I needed to do 30 Chatot Flips originally, but now that I know what my Shifted Starting Frame is I instead now need to do 26 Chatot Flips.
Hopefully this will help you out in some way or another
So if a NPC has a fixed movement, it does't mess with the PIDRNG? Whereas those that are totally random do mess the PIDRNG
I haven't RNG'd or visited this thread since November, and I see that there have been lots of new discoveries made since then. Could someone please direct me to info on:
Thanks!

Fishing advances the RNG I think (to see if you catch something), try doing one less Chatter.
