I don't quite see what's wrong with the question, I just think it'd be easier for someone to explain it to me as I go along rather than me reading it.
Now for the Journal Flips... how do I do that? How do I even get a Journal Page set up?

That's exactly what is wrong with your question. We wrote the guides and made the videos so that we don't have to explain it step-by-step to everyone who walks into this topic. Sorry to put it bluntly, but no, we are not going to spoon-feed you this stuff.
"We just think it'd be easier if you took the time to read the instructions and watch the videos we've taken our own time to make, instead of acting like a spoiled little brat who feels he's somehow entitled to have someone waste their time explaining from scratch what they've already made into a guide because 'it would be more convenient for you.'"

That's extremely ignorant of me.
I didn't even bother to scroll down to the post by bearsfan with video links.
I am EXTREMELY sorry for the wasted time on your behalf.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I would like to ask a question.
I'm doing this RNG thing to catch a shiny. I don't want a particular spread, nature or anything. Just a shiny.
Just like someone else in this thread (i.e. the guy at page 235) I've problems with this method. No matter what I do, my shinies continue to not appear. I put the right date/time, don't have the Happines Checker selected when I load the save, have 5 Pokémon in my team, catch a level 50+ Pokémon (usually a level 53-54 Fearow, Rhydon or Camerupt), insert the right stats/nature/characteristic, insert the right ID and SID (I double-checked them with Pokésav), check the Shiny Only option, choose "DPPt Egg (Normal)" and click "Generate". I follow the istructions that the program gives me (X Happiness Checker Double Taps and Y Coin Flips), fly to Solaceon, leave the two parents (not foreign ones, they are two Pokémon that I caught on my Platinum), grab the egg, hatch it and get pissed off. I'm 100% sure that I do the taps right, because in one of my tries a shiny frame appeared on the RNG Reporter at frame 3 so I tapped two times on the Coin Flip without going into the Happiness Checker and I got no shiny again.
I've tried to uncheck the "Shiny Only" option to see if my SID was wrong, but no results again. I hatched Pokémon with natures that didn't appear on the RNG Reporter. I tried to make the "DPPt Egg (International)" method, just to double-check that my Pokémon weren't considered foreign. No results here either.
To cut it short, I basically tried everything but I seem to have a different kind of problem. I've found three possible causes:
1) I still have the 3 legendary birds roaming.
2) The Journal pops up when I load my save.
3) I play the Italian version of Platinum.
Any help?

What happens when you get no shiny? Wrong nature or correct nature?
Also, when you unchecked shiny only did you simply collect the first few eggs without doing Poketch application taps and they did not match RNG Reporter output?
Also it really does seem like your SID is wrong if you missed a 2 coin flip Pokemon.

only walk 128 steps when you're not in an area with wild pokemon. Otherwise simply turn opposite direction to gain a frame (it becomes 2 with max repel). I just answered this in the simple questions topic.
I was walking 128 steps with Max repel
SO basically i have to do this:
If my frame is 798
mmmmm
I don't know what do i have to do <.<
Could you explain me?
Im walking in the room that has the tv
EDIT: For example can I do this:
my target frame is 798
I save giving my back to the tv
I can do 396 flips foe get 792 frame
then i activate the max repel
I turn infron of the tv without walking = 2 frames
I turn down = 2 frames
I turn infron of the tv without walking = 2 frames
So there are 6 frames more, and ill get the rotom, or am i wrong O.o?
Okay just to make sure I understood well,
for the method J
-Open Game
-Catch Pokemon for SEED
-Click Method J, Generate
-Will show up a list: Select a Pokemon with desired IV and Nature: Check frame
OR
-Go to Time Finder
-Search for what you want (Enter Frame Delay ect.)
-Select spread change year to satisfy your delay
I know what to do afterwards, but im not sure if im doing the right thing for chosing a spread....Im not sure why you need you need a SEED fo reither..
NVM the SEED thing is just for calibration rite? I tought it was still important

To get to frame 798 for rotom assuming there are no runners in your game:
1. make sure there are NO repels in effect
2. start in direction facing opposite of TV
Start frame = 1
3. turn around to face TV
Frame status: 1+1=2
4. open journal
Frame status: 2+2=4
5. flip journal pages with captured or defeated pokemon 397 times
Frame status: 4 + (397*2) = 798
6. Press A on TV which in effect meets rotom
1. No need to do step 1 through 3 above.
Start frame=1
2. Open journal
Frame status: 1+2=3
3. flip journal with captured or defeated pokemon 397 times (same as step 5 above)
Frame status: 3 + (397*2) = 797
4. sweet scent for gastly
Frame status: 797+1=798
I hope that's clear enough.
NPC's mouvement or just truning advances the frame...Im not sure how to have a correct frame tough, I only know how to abuse RNG breeding...I heard something with pressing X immediatly stops the NPC from moving, the flip the coin, press X imediatly after pressing the coin (i will still flip when you menu is on), and it'll show if you hitted the rite delay, however I am not certain of this...
Blech! Finding a legendary spread takes time..im not sure if im doing this rite either...
What delay is recomended to put into the Time finder for legendary? I did a huge search but nothin' was found yet.
Thanks man, you are awesome.
Just one more question, those 2 frames that i bolded are only if i have a defeated pokemon when i open the journal, right?
yeah i tried whit pressing X and i think i can stop it from moving.
So last question: Does the rain change the RNG?
