Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

Whatever, tried with Journal Flips. Again, target frame 1544. Subtracting two gets me 1542. 1542 divided by 2 for journal flips is 771. However, it auto-opened to a defeated page before verification, so -1=770. After verifying, did said 770 journal flips, caught a Staravia on frame 1568. Closer, but not on.

I was told that the only NPC's on 209 were the two breeders; the one by the rock in the center and the one at the south-western entrance. Both were stopped and re-battled via Vs. Seeker.

DPP RNG ABUSE GUIDE: PART FOUR: CAPTURING PERFECT POKEMON said:
Walking in areas with wild Pokémon
The RNG is advanced by one for each step or turn that you make, even when Repel is in use. Turning and walking in a single movement advances the RNG by two.
Sigh.
 
RNG-ing Shiny Shaymin

Alright. I've been RNG-ing for a few weeks. I can make shiny eggs, and I'm going for my first Legendary in Platinum (a shiny Timid Shaymin in Flower Paradise, spread 30/x/x/30/31/31.) I'm having a few problems though.

My ID is 54674
My SID is 38856
My Seed is 1F150268
My Target Frame is 759
My Delay is 604
Articuno is still roaming but no others are.

I've advanced my clock to 1/1/2012 and am entering the game world at 21:16:14.

I consistently am able to hit my target time of 14 seconds, and have hit my seed a few times (verified by coin flips T,H,T,H,T,H,T,H,H,T.)

Problem is, I can't seem to hit the right frame once I hit the seed.

Here's my math:
759 - 1 Monster Frame - 1 Wandering Pokemon = 757 Frames
I walk 128 steps with five pokemon in my party to reduce it to 752.
752/2 = 376 Journal Flips

I've done this five times after hitting my seed, and it never pops up shiny or matches the IV's. Is there something obvious I am missing? Like I said I'm a bit of a novice at RNG-ing Legendaries, so any help or advice would be immensely appreciated.
 
Unless you are not properly prepared for Journal Flipping, I don't see anything wrong. You did list your delay wrong though :P 606, not 604.

Does the lead Pokemon in your party have the ability Synchronize, by any chance? And, have you checked the Shaymin's IVs to see what frame you did hit?

Maybe it's NPCs you don't see.

Maybe you have the wrong nature syncher.

Maybe you miscounted journal flips.

Could be lots of things.
 
Ah, you're, right, I did list it wrong (I advanced the clock so I could hit my average delay.)

About Journal flipping - I keep flipping between two pages that say:
- Caught Ariados (Late Night)
and
- Caught Illumise (Late Night)

Every time I see one of those pages, it will advance the frame by 2, right? I just wait until I see that first page, count that as one flip, then count the next page as the second flip, the go back to the first page, which would be my third, etc, until I hit 376 flips. Am I doing this correctly?

No Synchronizer, I'm leading with a Crobat.

And no, I haven't checked to see what frame I did hit... that's my next step. At this point I'm just wondering what I'm doing wrong, if anything.

I thought only ones in the zone you were currently in affected the RNG....darn it. Not using a syncher, so that's out. Did them in 20's, that would be difficult to mess up, even for me. And that's 12 too many o.o

Looks good to me. Go ahead and check the IV's. You can post them here if you want.

Well, it doesn't look like you're doing anything wrong, but when everything is said and done, finding what you actually hit is really the best shot at us helping you figure out what went wrong with the frames. Even better if you keep hitting the same wrong frame.

OK, so the PID is D1EEB2CC - Shaymin, Lax, Likes to Run, 27/14/16/17/17/30
Apparently it was frame 763 that I hit.

My journal pops open on start, but I don't have a caught pokemon until about five pages back. Any idea what I'm doing to put me four frames ahead? I SWEAR I'm counting my flips and doing my steps right.

Edit: Nevermind, i just rolled my journal flips back by two and hit the right frame. SCORE!!! I caught a shiny Shaymin with great IV's!! Hahaha!!!
 
I have been trying to hit a seed in Heart Gold for the Jirachi evenet, I was using emloop and I added to the delay like it said to, whenever I call prof. elm and search to see if I am close to my delay, it says that none of the responses match even though I tried this three times, my delay should be close enough to the wanted delay of 819 because when I checked through means of wild pokemon I had a delay of 815, yet my elm responses do not match, could anyone help me?

Are the roamers still out? If they are, they will skip 3-6 frames, and will cause the elm responses check to fail

I am in a pokemart because that's where you recieve the event pokemon, in the Cerulean pokemart where the NPC's do not move and stay in one place, the Jirachi is a Method 1 pokemon
 
So... Lazy MattJ here...

Anybody got any good seeds for an ID/SID combo that gives you a good easy Shiny Jolly Spread?

I'm having a bit of trouble using the "finder" part of Eep's ID Finder. :/

I'm pretty confident I can hit 5000+ Delay within a few SRs. I just don't seem to be able to find a seed to start with.

I'm around 4:40, when I click generate, instead of getting IV results like he did, I get results of nature, ability, etc. Is there a setting I need to change? I am using RNG Reporter 8.30

I've followed all of the steps he did up until that point. I got the rash nature that I wanted by flipping/tapping, I resetted the game, received the egg again (that was the rash nature I wanted), caught a level 51 pokemon, typed its stats, I clear the nature to 'any', and I'm lost @ that step where it shows on his screen the IVs of his egg were 'predicited' (like I said, that screen doesn't show for me.)
 
Without seeing a screenshot I can't be sure, but it sounds like you didn't change your method from "DPPt Egg PID Normal" to "Breeding (DPPt)" when you went from finding a nature/etc to finding IVs.

Just a guess.

No, the question was if Raikou, Entei, and Latias are still in the wild. And it's Wondercard method IVs, not Method 1 IVs.

Actually, Wondercard IVs are always two frames ahead of method 1 frames, except they don't determine their natures.

(I'm around 5:30)

Anyway, I got my frame which is equivalent of 3. (I've also done it twice, so its verified). Now the man (bearsfan) says this: "right click your spread in the time finder, and select 'generate adjacent results.". By "spread", he means the row that is my correct frame? Problem is, I can't right click it.

EDIT: Nvm, he's using a previous version. Turns out in this version I simply click Time Finder.

I know, but the frame-to-frame IVs are still different by comparison, and I'm guessing that user didn't know since he didn't know the difference between NPCs and roamers.
 
I have a problem. I'm at the point of RNG abusing egg IVs, where I type in my data from the calibration phase and the IVs of my egg. I've done everything right, but my issue is that when I click generate, no information so shows up.
