Did you see this?! This is a post that OmegaDonut put up in the RNG Research!
------------------------------------------------
Oh, by the way: the initial seed is only calculated using the date\time (down to the second) and the MAC address of the DS. There is no "delay" anymore; you can sit at the Continue screen as long as you want and get the same seed every time, as long as you start at the same date\time. (I still have to test if it's also based on a game's unique ID.)
Laundry list of things I want to test but can't at the moment:
- How Everstone affects the number of RNG calls for egg generation
- How using two international parents affects the number of RNG calls for egg generation (since it's supposed to increase the odds of getting a shiny)
- something else but I'm drawing a blank
--------------------------------------
I think RNGing on BW may become easier than ever! Only having to worry about frames now and ridding ourselves of delays altogether, XD!
