Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

anyone have any tips ive seen every other pokemon in the area in shiny form and caught them all but this pokemon eludes me im using a synchronize'r and using sweet scent its rarity is 5% =(

im using emerald btw
just keep trying unfortunately there hasn't been any fool proof method for controlling which Pokemon appears while abusing in emerald so you're going to have to keep trying just remember the more rare it is the time you may spend looking for it.
 
Another quick question. On the second floor of the lost tower there are no moving NPCs. But I'm not sure if this counts as a new area. Will moving NPCs from the other floors still effect the RNG?
 
ok so i was going frame by frame with an emulator and i ran across the pokemon i was after saw it had the correct nature but i checked the ivs and it seems it jumped from whatever frame i was on to 11545 skipping my shiny frame and a few others(7 a hardy frames ,ps my shiny frame has hardy nature). im sure i was at least a few frames before my shiny frame since i would see shinnies but the next hardy frame after my shiny frame was 14 frames away and the 16 one after that (the one it landed on was 135 frames after my shiny frame so could anyone help me understand what happened. why did it skip so hardy many frames and why cant i get mahh shiny ;_;

edit: the pokemon was not shiny i just caught it out of curiosity and was surprised it had the correct nature
 
I'm trying to RNG a shiny latios in SS but whenever I try to hit my target frame, I'm always 4 seconds early as weird as it sounds . . . what am I doing wrong? My delay is set to 495 and my target time is 7:33:16 because it takes 16 seconds to get into the game world when I press the A button quickly . . everytime I target this, I get a time of 7:33:12 when I check with roamers.
 
Maybe because the game doesn't start counting the moment you reset? While there is a white screen and the game is loading, the delay is not counting. This usually takes a few seconds to load. If that isn't the problem, then I can't help :\
 
can someone help i am using emerald and i got close to my shiny frame 2903 im at frame 2824 and i hit next frame but it goes to another frame thats like 23 frames ahead instead of one frame im using vba and im using the sweet scent method what is going on and i dont have my synchronizer in the first slot although i do have one in my team

Is this true?? Maybe I should do more calibration . .
 
Radio Advancement:
Advancing your frame via radio is easy, as long as your target frame is relatively low. You dont want to have tap the lower-right station 1000+ to reach your frame.


A Bad thing about advancing by radio is that
1. When Buena Password is on, you cant advance the frame via password
2. Each tap is only advance the frame by 1+

Difference with SS and radio taps
For low frame, and if you need precision, radio the way to go.

If you need to reach high frame, advancement the frame via SS is the way to go, when you close to your frame you can also your radio taps


Is possible to get a delay equal to 600 or 601 ? ;_; (DPPt)
Yes its very possible, rng pokemon with the delays of 592-602 for Platinum and 625-628 Diamond
 
A Journal Page with a caught/defeated message advances the frame by 2 correct? (Diamond Version)
right on the First Post

- Opening the Journal, or having it automatically open, when there is a caught or defeated Pokémon on the first page advances the RNG by 2 seeds. There are a number of formats for the caught Pokémon text. Those listed below have been verified to advance the RNG.

'Caught a female BIDOOF.'
'Caught AZELF (LATE NIGHT).'
'UXIE was caught (DAY).'
'Defeated a male BIDOOF.'

- Flipping to a page in the journal where a caught or defeated Pokémon is listed advances the RNG by 2 seeds. The same message formats listed above will advance the RNG.
 
Unfortunately I use Pearl, so i can't get that delay.. :( right?
If you're going with Pearl and talking about that 601, then I don't think it would be possilbe to go that low. The lowest I've ever hit in Diamond was 612, and that was only twice before. You'll most likely need to find a new spread.
 
@TehYoshi: Only stationary pokemon who have a starting frame of 1, or gift pokemon that have a starting frame of 1. No wild pokemon due to sweet scent advancing the frame by 1.
 
All right, that's what I thought, thanks.

If I just enter the game having saved right in front of a Drifloon, and encounter it, would that be on Frame 1?
 
In Diamond version, does Buneary's movement increase the frame? I have never been able to mash A fast enough for it to not to move before I speak with the daycare man since it is constantly moving.

No, it doesn't. That movement is a fixed movement so it doesn't. But Pachirisu's does.

Can you abuse the hoenn/sinnoh radio pokemon though and is it much harder/what's the difference between regular rng HGSS catching?
 
Yes it is possible to abuse the hoenn/sinnoh radio pokemon as you'll need to adjust your calendar for them as everything else besides having the appropriate music on at time of wild pokemon encounter is the same. I have an adamant absol to show for that.
