Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

Wild encounter is much the same as legend capturing except you can't move (you have to use Sweet Scent). Your target time is the moment (year, month, day, hour, minute and second) that must be on the DS clock at the moment you hit continue. I would suggest you read the post by Wild Eep pn page 195 of this thread about determining which wild Pokemon will appear for a given spread. You don't want to be aiming for a Ditto and get a Staravia (the encounter Pokemon is fixed for each spread).
 
And am I all set to go from there?

EDIT: So I must use sweet sent, and have saved in the grass with no PNCs so the frame doesn't move from where it starts?
 
Ok then, so basically now I just find a spread with suitable delay and seconds, and then keep SR'ing until I hit the spread
and then I'm done?
 
It is there, take another look.
I just read it 30 minutes ago.

*Btw, to anyone that helped me in my problem which is nearly resolved (LF, MinusONe) you earned yourself 2 credits in my store, just to let you know.

And how do you verify that you will be encountering the correct pokemon??
Click to expand...

Once you have selected a spread, put the seed into the RNG Reporter main window and generate by method 1 down to your target frame (generate by method 1 even if you are using method J with a synchroniser to do the actual capture). Look at the PID generated for the frame immediately before it (i.e. if you are going for frame 3105, look at the PID for frame 3104). Open Windows Calculator and put it in Hex mode (you will need it in Scientific mode first to do that) and divide the last four digits of the PID by 290 (if the PID was 36D4C10A, you use C10A). Change back to decimal mode and you get a number between 0 and 99. compare that number with the encounter table for the area you are in.

1st slot: 0 to 19
2nd slot: 20 to 39
3rd slot: 40 to 49
4th slot: 50 to 59
5th slot: 60 to 69
6th slot: 70 to 79
7th slot: 80 to 84
8th slot: 85 to 89
9th slot: 90 to 93
10th slot: 94 to 97
11th slot: 98
12th slot: 99

Someone else will have to help you find the encounter tables for Platinum. I don't know where they are apart from the Trophy Garden Pokemon of the day. Today's goes in the 7th slot and yesterday's goes in the 8th.
 
So does every seed have a specific pokemon that you are deffinetely going to capture, as in if you hit the rights spread 10 times the same pokemon always turns up,?
 
Yes. Every frame is locked to a specific Pokemon. There is some hope though; since method J produces multiple frames for each spread, hopefully one of those frames will match the Pokemon you wanted.
 
I still can't find it.....


Okay, I'll give an example of what I'm going to do in catching perfect pokemon.

I'm going to catch old chateau rotom, so the starting frame is 1, right??

From the "Physical spread", I found this:
SEED : 83010273
FRAME: 5944
PID : 7942ef72

As what mingot write in the first page, the physical spread is generated using method 1, but it quite similar to method J.
And I found that it's true.....

I use the seed above, switch method 1 to method J, set the synchronizer to timid, and generate the code, and I found
FRAME : 5901
ACTUAL: 5944
PID: 7942ef72

The frame showed 5901, and the starting frame for old chateau rotom is 1, so I need to do 2450 page flip, right??
So I confirmed that the method 1 and method J hve the same spread, PID, also the actual frame generated from method J matched the frame from method 1.

Now to hit the target time.
I input the seed into the "Seed to Time".
A lot of result come out, and I choose:
DATE : 2009 JULY 02
TIME : 01:58:59
DELAY: 618

Now it's time for me to do SRing, the question is:
How can I know if I hit the target delay??
How if I hit delay 616 or 620 or anything instead of 618??

Please help me,
I'm aware that this kind of question might been asked by someone before, but it is too difficult for me to look the whole pages (yeah maybe I'm the one who is lazy)

And if this kind of question has been answered before by someone, could anyone give me the link to that answer??
 
@ Pauric 09: You don't change the frame, you generate a list of frames (with no requirements) from the same seed by method 1 in the main window. Then you can scroll down to the appropriate frame.

@ DokiDoki: Put your seed (83010273) into the RNG Reporter main window, select DPPt Egg PID (normal) and generate. Read vertically down the "Coin" column, that is your test flip sequence (in this case T, H, T, H, T, T, T, T, H, H...). Flipping the coin does not affect the frame for wild capturing.
 
Ohhh, I get it now. Thanks MinusOne!
So this is how the RNG get the 10 coin flips for hatching perfect pokemon.
I just realized that it works like that.

Btw, where should I start reading vertically?? What frame??
 
Okay, last question :D
Let's assume that there are some pokemon (especially wandering pokemon)
have a starting frame 5.

If I'm going to do Coin flip checking, which frame should I start?? 1 or 5??
 
Ok, lucky me I am going for the Trophy Garden, as I am looking for Maril.

Could you give me the table of Trophy Garden please?

I got number 62 btw.
 
@ DokiDoki: always frame 1. The coin flips are generated by a different RNG to the one that produces wild Pokemon. The reason you can use it to check your seed is because they are both seeded with the same value.

@ Pauric 09: that spread is not available on Marill then (at least from that frame). You must get Marill to be the Pokemon of the day, then it goes into the 7th slot. If you change the date to tomorrow and get a new Pokemon of the day (any Pokemon), Marill will move to the 8th slot. If you are using method J, try all the frames associated with that spread until you get a result between 80 and 89. If none of the frames match, that spread is unavailable.
