If it has >2000 taps (Or even >1000 imo) you should just reset and catch another Pokemon. It's easy to screw up counting, and it sucks when you've finally done all those taps and then find out afterward you messed up.

Hello?
Maybe it's just me, but when I first bought Platinum I noticed the start time difference immediately. In Pearl after pressing a button on the Palkia screen it takes a second to go to the menu. In Platinum after pressing a button on the Giratina screen it goes to the menu much faster, i.e. a shorter delay by about half a second.
Anyone? I really thought I saw something like this in here.
If it doesn't say there is a problem assume that there is not. If you discover something new that messes things up then report it.
Emloop has a timer that people seem to like. The emerald thread links it, but I can't really give any advice on how to use it as I never actually have. Also, if you are trying to calibrate you're really only getting to the second so I would use your computers clock or any wristwatch with a seconds display/hand.
Personally I use a real (although cheap) stopwatch for resetting that I got at a sporting store when I need to time things.
@ All above seeing time differences in Plat / DP -- Interesting stuff. Makes sense they would be slightly different, too. Is a good case for why calibration phase is necesary.
I have had problems with trading shiny eggs. When they hatch in other peoples games, they are not shiny anymore. They appear as the animation as a shiny, but when you check its stats, it lost the red star and its normal...
I now have an international ditto. I know that I use the international PID option when using the RNG Reporter and I get better chances to get a shiny. What I'm wondering is if my chances increase anymore if I use an international ditto and int. eevee?
Would my chances stay the same using two international pokemon as when I just use one international pokemon and my own or are the chances any better?

They will stay the same.
Also, when using 2 int. parents of the same region, 2 japanese parents on a US game for example, it doesn't count as international.
Using two international pokemon will actually hurt your chances if they are of the same 'nationality' Stick with one pokemon the same as the language of your game and one different.
EDIT: Beaten
Can anybody tell me of a nice way to get the desired nature at least half of the times you RNG?
Not an expert but I think most users forget to save and reset before taking the egg and hatching it.....
lol most users may lol
no, the shiny needs to be caught on the game you want to do this, which would need to be diamond, pearl, or platinum, not FireRed.
Ah I see, this is going to be harder than I thought..any tips?
Yeah. The best thing you can do is get someone to check your SID. Check simple requests. There are a handful of people that can do it for you.
no, but you can have someone else find out your SID by trading them one of your pokes. ask in simple question form.
yes, because thats all the shiny is needed for, to find it.
