Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

Recently, I've been hitting my delay so many times, but my frames keep jumping up...Why is that? I think it's because of the NPC's off of the screen. No matter how fast I mash A I can't beat the NPC's.........Any Advice? I'm RNGing for Flawless Eggs BTW.
 
On the PikaTimer, does anyone else get an error box that says "Could Not Find Main Class. Program Will Exit"? I just tried to download it for the first time, and it's given me that error every time.

Which version are you using? The problem could be caused by an improper jar set-up by me (which I could fix in about fifteen seconds).

EDIT: I double checked the version 2.0 up for download, and it was done correctly. If it still doesn't work for you, download JavaRNG 2.1 (link in sig) and click "Timer" to bring up PikaTimer.

Do you mean that you find out that you're saved on like, say frame 5 for example, but you go to your target time, do the process, hit your seed but find you've hit frame 6?

If this is the case, sometimes this happens and all I can suggest is saving again and if possible pick a different target time.
 
Ok my Time for my Seed is 15:27 and the Pokemon im trying to Catch only appears at Night and Nightime starts around 20:00 in the Game, so other then waiting 5 Hours to get my Pokemon is there anything else I can do?
EDIT: Oh that sucks...... Owell lol... thanks!

Not particularly. Put your DS in sleep mode and do something else in the time while you are waiting. Make sure not to get screwed by NPC's.
 
For the calibration phase, what should i do if I keep getting two different seconds?
I know the obvious answer is keep going, but I've done it 7 times now and I have 4 15s and 3 14s
And if I do keep going and it continues like this, what should I do?
 
Oh, nah, definitely not. If I ever want a shiny Gyarados, i can whip one up with egg moves in like 15 mins in Platinum. About your next post though, stupid question, but what method were you using to generate your frames? If your IVs didn't match anything on the list, you probably didn't hit that frame.

I used method K with Jolly syncher.

Plug the IV spread into the Seed Finder (select Open Search and Offset) and look for a different seed, one where the Pokemon appears at night.

Note: you may have to use Emloop to hit the high delays that may come with those seeds.
 
I used RNG reporter in emerald and I managed to get shiny groudon and shiny kyogre but now I'm using it with sweet scent and I can't seem to find the spread I got, to see how far off I was. The first attempt I was off by 10 frames. The second try idk how far off, I cant find the spread that I got. If I had the English spreadsheet I could do Ctrl+f to find the nature and look for the right spread. Does anyone have that file?

There is a link to the csv file in one of the parts of the guide. Links to the guide can be found in the OP.

Yeah that is exactly it. But I don't understand how a different target time would help, can someone explain this to me? And how many times should I see whether I fail at stopping the frame from advancing before I change me Target time? I heard if you save right after an NPC moved, they won't move again when you SR for the final result. Is this true? This is the only thing stopping me from succesfully hatching flawless Pokemon.

What he means is, if your original target time required you to hit frame 5, and you keep hitting frame 6, then search for a target time that appears on frame 6. There's lots of good targets out there, and you don't need to put all your effort into resaving over and over.

You can also use journal flips to advance the frames by 2. So you can search for targets on frames 8, 10, 12, and so on. Just make sure the journal pops up before you collect the egg.

Yeah but during frame calibration, if it was 5 then what should I do? If I hit different frames during frame calibrations because of NPC's is there no way to hit the starting frame? Because I always go ahead by a few even in Frame calibration.

Once I did try that like making my target frame 1 ahead of the starting frame I already have, but I ended up hitting my starting frame -.-

Just don't try to aim ahead. You're only undermining yourself.
 
Let's see...it's been a while since I RNG'd, and currently, I only know how to RNG on capturing perfect Pokemon. As for the breeding, I'll handle that later, and now I'm just learning how to RNG wondercard IV's. I'm aware that natures can't be controlled, but as for RNG'ing wondercard IV's, does the SID apply to this...or can it be anything goes? (I already know my SID, btw)

I have tons of save files of TRU Shaymins and Arceus awaiting to be picked up from the mart, so yeah.

You only need to worry about SIDs if you want to capture a shiny Pokemon. Since Wondercard Pokemon with random natures are never shiny, you don't have to.
 
im trying rng manipulation of wild pokemon in emerald. the guide states that "you should set the timer to the appropriate time"". So what is that appropriate time? Is it the time of my ds(i play emerald on my ds). thanks.

the appropriate time is the time you are going to press A to sweet scent for your poke, and emerald is a GBA game is it is uneffected by the DS time
