I just cleared PPRNG off of my computer. Downloaded 1.14.4 and used the parameters you suggested. Still getting the error telling me there is over 10,000 possibilities.

I doubt this is the problem, but I have an idea. Time. What's your time range? I've had the problem before where the minimum value actually comes after the maximum value. I.e. the top range is October 22, 2012 while the bottom range is September 22, 2012. Since the program isn't coded to work backwards in time, it freaks out when the first value comes after the second value. Possible reason. :)
Please post a screenshot of your Egg Seed Searcher window. This is by far the easiest way to see what the problem is.
Oh man, I'm such a noob. I tried this and it worked out. Thank's for the input!
Of course. :) No problem. Glad I was able to help. :)
Thank you so so so much, Chiizu. :) I'm going to go work on this again. I can already see that the starting PID Frame is correct with my Mild and Alert to Sounds spread with flawless IVs. Glad you were able to sort this out. :D
Update: My Minccino worked out perfectly! :D
So as you can tell, I got my desired Minccino, but I'm having a similar problem again. This time with a Growlithe in the Virbank Complex...
This is what the Seed Inspector says:
This is what the Growlithe actually turned out to be:
Growlithe.
The only problem I see here are the characteristics not corresponding. That's essentially it. But I don't know how this may affect the other frames, so I had to give notice.

That Growlithe is from frame 83 (you can compare the PID in the Frames tab). There's nothing wrong with it that I can see.
Is it really that high? Wow. I guess so. Any reasoning for that? I didn't do any Chatot flips before I caught it. Do the NPCs really raise the PID Frame that much?
there are three WNPCs there. Did you mash A during the season screen, and immediately open up your menu?
You mean X? Yeah. I've always done that.
Edit: Well, as we've already established, there isn't error in the PID generation in the program as with Hidden Grottos. It seems the NPCs or something is drastically raising the PID Frame. There was a 26 frame increase from the starting frame of 57 with the Growlithe I previously posted. This Growlithe is one Timer0 above the other Growlithe (10F4 vs. 10F5) and had a 24 frame increase from 55. So, in the end, either I'm not mashing X fast enough (though I know I am) or the frames are being set off by the NPCs fast.
It would be interesting to know what frame you land on if you try one of these seeds in a completely different location.
Ah. I see where you're going with this. As soon as I get home after school, I'll try it.
Edit: Something tells me that this link is wrong. There are no Pidove's anywhere on it (I'm on Route 20, btw). I'm guessing Jigglypuff's should be Pidove's. Lol. Anyways, gonna do this quickly. :)
Edit 2: So, I went through with capture another Pokémon with the same seed whilst on Route 20. This is the result. The PID and everything matches up with frame 65 with the starting being 57. It's awkward. Lol. Such a big difference in the Virbank Complex vs. Route 20, yet all values are greater than 60, so yeah... Interesting, yet not sure what I should do about it.
Route 20 has one WNPC versus the three in the Virbank Complex. And yeah, the encounter table has Jigglypuff mixed up with Pidove, and Wigglytuff for Tranquil.
I'm pretty sure I did it right, but my results were slightly different than what was expected.
That's my seed and target frame is highlighted. However, instead of getting a female, I got this Togepi:
https://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=2399249
which is male, and had the characteristic Alert to Sounds. The only notable difference between this RNG and my other non-legendary RNGs is that this Togepi was the last of 3 pokemon I sent to my game. All my other non-legendary RNGs were sent to my game via a full set of 6 pokemon. Mayhaps they are generated somewhat differently? I'm not sure.

The gender is set when you receive the Pokemon (might be set when you capture it in the Dream Radar, I'm not sure), so if it's set male you will never get a female. The locked gender will affect the PID, resulting in a different characteristic. It has nothing to do with the slot.
Okay thanks for clearing that up for me :>
If anyone is having any trouble finding their parameters for Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, I made a video for you guys.

Hey, I am new to smogon and RNG. I have followed the guide posted by RNGabuse to get my 3DS parameters. I have tried several times to calibrate my 3DS using the Unova Link Calibration and I have gotten different Vcount and Vframes every time. That is, if I actually get a result. I will usually get two to five results after entering 7 spinner locations. When I enter an 8th spinner, the program does not send me any results. I am positive that I am entering the correct spinner positions. What else could I be doing wrong?

Here is what I get after 7 spinners

This is what happens after spinner 8

Here are my 3DS parameters
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, and thanks for making such an awesome program!

Your screenshots give no indication what the issue is, unfortunately. Some possibilities include:
Do you have a save game already?
The spinner calibration doesn't work without a save game.
Have you done a Memory Link to a Black 1 or White 1 game on your current save game?
This affects what spins you get, so you need to set the Memory Link check box in your config in that case.
Are you sure you aren't pressing / holding any buttons after starting from the 3DS menu?
Are you sure that the date and time you have set in the search is the time that you launched the game from your 3DS menu?
Have you double-checked that your 3DS's MAC Address is entered correctly?
Are you soft-resetting from within the game?
You must start from the 3DS menu. Soft-resetting will not work (unlike Gen 4).
Have you tried calibrating using the IV method?
If you continue to be unsuccessful this method will work just as well, though it requires more time.
This is a really nice video. I have added a link to it in the tutorial posts at the beginning of this thread.
Doesn't that require either buying an OS X disc or downloading an illegal ISO?
What all can PPRNG do that RNG Reporter can't, and vice versa?
Reporter (to the best of my knowledge):
3rd gen support
Researcher screen for arbitrary RNG testing
PPRNG:
Unova Link calibration
Dream Radar abuse
Both of the PPRNG items above are in the works for RNG Reporter. At the moment I don't have specific plans for 3rd gen or researcher support in PPRNG. PPRNG is faster than Reporter on similar hardware, however I can't give an exact number on this since the recent update to .Net 4.
Many people tell me they prefer PPRNG to RNG Reporter because of the speed and the interface, but it's not a reason to go out and buy a Mac.
Since PPRNG is open-source and platform-agnostic, can I compile a version to run on Windows?
