Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

Here's a scenario that happens quite often to me: I've hit my seed and done my journal flips, and the pokemon I catch is wrong. My question is,

How can I tell what the frame of the pokemon I actually caught is?

Thanks for the time and patience.

After putting the seed into the RNG reporter and getting a list of what you can find with that frame, scroll down until you see what you got, go for the closest to your target frame if there are multiples.
 
Hmm, I thought I did everything right, but I didn't get my shiny.

Frame: 142
Journal: 69
Monster Frame (Super Rod): 4

Is that right? I'm almost positive I did my flips correctly. I'm doing a Dratini on top of Mt. Coronet, btw.

I just caught a dratini there just then xD. Did you get any "not even a nibble' since it advances the RNG by 1. Or you may have accidently done +/- a flip or something. What frame did you land on?
 
IDK what frame I landed on. I must have missed the flips, which is uncharacteristic of me. What a choke artist. >:(

And I had the right encounter slot, so no "Not even a nibble..."

What nature did you do btw?

I always miss flips and if you check DMP, I done an adamant 31/31/31/17/31/31 in a dive ball.
 
Fuck a BITCH I didn't have my Syncher out. Unfortunately it took me a second failure to realize that. It's always bittersweet knowing your error was such a simple mistake like that.

For Lucario, which ability is Inner Focus? 0 or 1?

And if you get in that position;

Someone used my image! Yay! XD
Also, ARRGGHHGH, got my flips but was a frame off.

Calm 31/31/31/31/31/31 Togepi turned into Calm 31/02/31/31/29/22 Togepi ... ah well, he'll be fine in the local Lv.60 League :D

Now to land that Relaxed 31s Shiny Spiritomb >:O



And a question!
What is it that affects your starting frame during Egg RNG?
Mine is either 4 or 5, and literally about 50% of either.
 
So I'm messing around with a wild swarm capture and there's a single NPC that cannot be immobilized with the Vs. Seeker. He stands in one spot but randomly turns to face in different directions. If he turns 180 degrees (an about face turn) does that advance the frame by 1 or 2?
 
It should only be one Supe. Think about it, when you turn with your character, regardless of direction, it counts as one. So if you stay in view of him while doing the coin check, you should be fine with the abuse.
 
Well, it happened to me. Going for Giratina in the Distortion World and ended up with a monster frame of 23 instead of 12. Damn! Should I just try again and make the adjustment to a monster frame of 23?

The NPCs affect it. It is just a coincidence that you get 4 and 5 a lot. It makes sense that 4 would be a common number, since there are 3 NPCs that affect you plus the monster frame gets you 4.


Supe - I guess it should be one, really don't know for sure.


Jawshua - Yea just use the monster frame of 23 instead.
 
Thanks for the help LightingFusion. Hit the spread, and got the journal flips right with a monster frame of 23. Here is the result:

Wouldn't the birds (runners) increase the frame upon entering the game before you could rerelease them in platinum?
If so, wouldn't Moltres actually be on frame 4?
Can someone just clarify this for me, since I'm trying to get some decent birds?

No, they have to be running around first before you count them. Since you don't release them until you talk to them, it doesnt count as a runner.
 
Ok, thanks, I just figured that if I talk to Oak a second time to get them regenerated that they would count as runners, being out there already.
EDIT: didn't know that.
Thanks.

Well if you are going to release them for a second time, you have to catch/defeat all the current ones out, so none of them can be running still if you want to release them again.
