Thanks for the info domeface! That was really helpful.
Unfortunately, I still can't seem to get it. Every time, the elm calls are offsetted. I tried saving 5 different times, but no dice. Can the NPCs move when the screen is black (in between hitting continue and viewing overworld)? I tried a different day/time with a frame of one, but once again, I could not get the correct IVs. This time, however, I am unsure whether it is me not hitting the correct delay, or me not pressing A fast enough.
@Young_Jedi91: Make sure you have Java installed. Associate Jar files with the JRE.
That's strange. Are you collecting your egg as soon as you enter the game world? Because when you're using a frame of 1, you don't have time to pause to check Elm responses, as the NPC could move.
However, it sounds as if you're doing it correctly, but you can't verify your delay/frame. To do this, right-click on the spread you're using in the timefinder, and click "Generate Adjacent Results". Select parameters so you have a delay range of around 30, with your target in the middle, and set the maximum frame somewhere around 7.
This will bring up a list of results that occur in delays and frames near your target. What you need to do with this is look at what you got for your egg's IVs, and try to find a match on the adjacent results list. If you can't find it, try regenerating the results with broader parameters.
Once you find it, check the delay, second and frame of the spread. Usually, the second will be the same as your target, but it's always good to check. For the frame, if it is anything greater than 1, you know you need to resave, as the NPC is moving just as you open the game. Then repeat this process until find yourself on the right frame. If your frame and is correct, all you need to do is keep SRing to hit your delay.
After each (re)save, go through this process with the first few SRs to ensure you're hitting your frame correctly, then just continue SRing until you hit your delay.
I hope this helps :)
EDIT: @Skymin_Flower: try VMing Mingot about it, he might be able to iron out some of the bugs. Alternatively, you could always try Bootcamp with XP or something; I'd imagine XP is pretty cheap now.
