Ok, time to explain I got my Hasty Latios from the R/S Battle Tower. I was able to use a variety of resources to reverse-engineer the game's process for generating trainers and Pokémon for the R/S Battle Tower. I then got everything working in Excel and made the spreadsheet attached to this...

I've continued my Battle Pyramid streak to a new record of 280 floors. I also recorded the last 7 floors and the fight against Brendan's gold symbol team. The Slaking and Latios from my previous team were both swapped out for +Speed nature versions. I think the tradeoff in power is well...

I think my rng manipulated factory run was what inspired the ban once ownership of the thread switched to Kommo-o. IMO Zsy6's run is legit. 12 rounds and 38 swaps averages to a little over 2 swaps a round. As you can see in my rng'd run, getting to influence your starting picks brings the...

I am so incredibly happy to share that I have attained all 7 golden symbols for the first time in my life. I remember pre-ordering Pokémon Emerald and pouring over the promotional material for the battle frontier. I dreamed of becoming the master of all seven facilities but never had any...

After days of searching I've finally found a suitable Latios in the R/S Battle Tower. Timid, perfect IVs, and shiny. It turns out that someone actually did go frame by frame to find the right conditions to RNG a timid Latios in the R/S Battle Tower. They even went a step further and used...

Lately I've been trying to get a timid Latios with perfect IVs from the Ruby/Sapphire roaming encounter glitch. The general wisdom is that the nature is not able to be manipulated and is totally random. After encountering a ton of non-timid Latios I decided to see if rng manipulation was...

I had some unexpected success in the Battle Arena and got all the way to a 94-streak (lvl 50, on emulator). I was able to record battles 84-94, including the battle that ended the streak. Here's the video of the last 10 battles of my streak. This recording doesn't capture the time I spent...

Good point on the max elixirs, especially since my Slaking's shadow ball and return cover most wild Pokémon.

I'm pretty happy to share that I've hit a 154 streak in the Battle Pyramid (lvl 50 on emulator). The streak is ongoing and my team/items are in fine shape - my mind just needs a break for a while. The whole thing was done with the same team. Apart from some miserable rounds with steel types and...

Not sure if this knowledge is already out there but the game's source code can inform a strategy to navigate the Battle Pyramid. When building a floor the game will populate it with trainers in one of three ways based on 16 scenarios: uniform distribution (11/16), clustering at the entrance...

Over the last few days I've been able to get the gold symbol in both the Battle Tower and the Battle Dome (Both on emulator and lvl 50). Both are ongoing but I'm not interested in extending the Tower streak right now. Tower stands at 70 wins and the Dome at 10 (edit - run finished at 16)...

I adore this team build but don't think I have the experience to pull it off lol. You weren't kidding about Jumpluff being a monster sweeper after setting up! The opponent held items trip me up for now but I really want to revisit it with more game sense. Using so many underdog pokemon is crazy fun.

Well I've decided to port my save from retail to emulator for the Battle Frontier. I'm just too impatient. But I'm enjoying playing much more now. The Battle Tower was giving me trouble before because I restricted myself to teams that didn't require a lot of setup. I won battles faster but the...

I agree 100%. When I was thinking about the best ways to go beyond my RNG'd 50-streak it entirely came down to consistently hitting the button at the right time. It's just a different game at that point. I'd love to see someone test the limits of RNG'd streaks (maybe in an emulator) but that...

I didn't know about the Bank of Hoenn - that's incredible! I am able to extract my save files so this opens a lot of opportunities. Thank you for the resource! I feel a little silly now for even asking the question lol. Thank you for explaining.
