I think you misunderstood. This only takes 2 rounds, and you never let yourself get KO'd. (Where did you get that from anyway?) Round 1, you switch. Round 2, you KO the wild Ditto.

Not sure if you're aware of this, but Ditto is a very good source of EVs because it gives the EVs of whatever it transforms into. It's a very common encounter in the Desert Underpass up by Fallarbor town. (You can just run from the Whismur/Loudred that show up) Here's what you do: Slot 1...

The original version (known as "1.0" and what you're calling "issue #1") came with the wireless dongle. The re-release, (known as "1.1" and what you're calling "issue #2") did *not* come with the wireless dongle. Alternatively, according to Bulbapedia:

...0x67dbb608 0xfc3351db 0xef2cf4b2 Run it through mingot's equation, and you get the same sequence in reverse. i.e., previous_value = (0xef2cf4b2 * 0xeeb9eb65 + 0xa3561a1)%0x100000000 That will return 0xfc3351db. Run 0xfc3351db through the equation, and you'll get the number before that...

No, the PID is made up of 2 separate RNG calls. This won't really do anything for you. You're best off using the "seed" that RNGreporter gives. Even then, I'm not entirely convinced that you can ever be sure of the initial seed, 2-byte number or not. chrish: Do you have the seeds for all...

This is kind of interesting to me, so I'm going to spend a little time researching it. I don't think you need to worry about the "few odd spreads" at all. The 252/252 spreads are the worst case, so if you can prove those are possible you're done. It shouldn't be too hard... Just gotta look...

2 questions... What is LCF? Is any arbitrary 252/252 spread possible in ADV generation too? (I'm guessing no, since there are only a few low-level pokemon around to EV train on.)

Obviously, the point is to see if you can get the same seed twice. It's pretty much common sense that you'd try to minimize the variation on the number of frames that pass by. Therefore, the smart thing to do would be just to just sweet scent a pokemon ASAP after each reset. There's no sense...

10,000 seems like too much... Assuming 60 frames/second, ~500ish should be a lot better if you keep your timing consistent. If you do this, it might be a good idea to do it ~100ish times and record the frame you get each time. If any of them are close, then you can guess that those had the...

When I say "progression of the series" I'm wondering if the <i>order</i> of the frames is the same. If yes, then it means that the equation to produce the next random number is the same as the other games. That would be an easy starting point since this equation is known. If the order of the...

This is an interesting project... If one were to "look at the code," how would you even get started? Does VBA allow you to look at the assembly level code? Do we know for certain if the PRNG is the same as Emerald? i.e., the initial seed may start you somewhere in the middle of the series...

Does the Jirachi disk work with Emerald, and is it different from Ruby/Sapphire? For what it's worth, Jirachi came with either a Salac or Ganlon berry on Ruby and Sapphire. (not Petaya)

Out of curiosity... Is there a way of doing this in the ADV generation? It seems like it's doubly hard since your hatched guys start at level 5, and you don't have access to the Power items.

...above, money is usually tight and $5000 can buy you all the repels and escape ropes you need. That's interesting... In Emerald, I'm pretty sure you *can't* trade eggs until you get the National dex. As such, in Emerald you're limited to your starter or one of the guys you can catch early on.

...That said, you can plow through these games very quickly if you can trade with another cart. It breaks the spirit of a classic speed-run, but it *is* the most efficient way of completing the game. If you are the OT of your pokemon, they will never disobey. Knowing this, you can trade your...

Just from watching the videos... I confirm that Toxicroak had Taunt. Moltres had Hidden Power (video 1, 5:35). I also confirm that Snorlax had Earthquake, not T-punch (video 2, 4:17). Edit: I guess we never see Moltres or Zapdos' other moves. Maybe there's other videos from Mano's point of...

I think people have pretty much said all there is, but I was reminded of this article: http://www.thepokerbank.com/multiple-level-thinking.html It's geared towards poker, but it can apply here too.

I was wondering what the odds of that was, so I ran a simulation. If someone used a OHKO move 8 times, here are the odds of them hitting x number of times. The odds of 7 or 8 hits is pretty negligible but I guess you can roll that into hitting 6 times. Hits 0 times: 5.8% Hits 1 times: 19.7%...

Am I missing something here? That aside, I think you and a few others are operating on a faulty premise. i.e., OHKO moves and DT are actually good.

I'm sure you can use your creativity to figure out something clever. I kind of doubt Mismagius, Butterfree and Lucario are the only options.
