The closest thing we have right now are my videos. A proper written guide hasn't been done yet to my knowledge.

You can use buttons anytime after the first white screen.
The one with the nintendo screen? I'm currently in the house where you RNG Thundurus. Can I just go and catch a wild Pokemon on that route to find my parameters or do I have to catch Thundurus?
please answer
I'm having some issues finding my parameters. I'm following the guide properly. Here's my parameters screen:
Here's what I'm doing:
I wait until the first white screen is gone then I rush through the opening scene. I'm saved on Route 7 inside the Thundurus house. I walk out, watch the cutscene and then walk 4-5 more steps into the grass and catch a wild Pokemon. I check it's IVs and plug them in.
I'm using a retail English Pokemon White with one of the first DS systems.

no you would need 5 pokemon in your party then walk 128 steps to get to frame 6
Anyone tell me how to use the save and check method to abuse for natures. Do i:
1. Set the clock and start the game, save the battle
or
2. Set the clock, start the game, save. then turn it off and set the clock again, and re do the steps .

I see two possible problems. If you're making Thundurus roam around with that cut scene, it won't be possible to find your parameters. It only works for frame 1. If you're generating Thundurus' IVs, you won't be on frame 1.I'm having some issues finding my parameters. I'm following the guide properly. Here's my parameters screen:

Another thing is that you mention "checking IVs." That would mean that you must have an Action Replay in your DS or are using a flashcart. You can't have an Action Replay in, and all of the encryption variables (timer0, VCount, etc.) will be within a different rage for your flashcart.
The first one is probably what messes it up. I don't have an AR so by "checking IVs" I mean that I'm going to metalkid's calculator and checking the IVs with rare candies. What do you suggest I do to find my parameters? Should I just KO Thundurus? Should I just catch it without bothering to RNG? I can always try to C-Gear RNG him first but the only seed I have is a delay of 6478 which I always have issues with for some odd reason.
Also speaking of flashcarts, just to double check, I play my White via original R4 (w/ Wood 1.27 firmware), so will that mess up my future non C-Gear abuse attempts in it?
So if I'm reading this correctly, the current reporter only works if the month is set to April?
all the guides I've seen (except for one) have said to do it by soft-resetting. I haven't tried it by loading from the menu though, so I don't know.
as for delay ranges, as long as your min is above 1000 you should be good. Though I've heard people say that better IV spreads appear on lower frames more often at higher delays, don't know if this is true or just speculation, I just do my searches between 1600 and 9999 and pick the best IVs I see.
as for the "no match thing" that is because using PO is not the same as an IV calc. sometimes 2 or 3 different IVs (sometimes even more) can result in the same value... so if you just mess with the IVs until the number that appears is the same as yours, chances are you could put it 1 higher, or one lower and gotten the same value. this is even true, occasionally at lvl 100 but in rare cases... (has happened to me once with an HP stat on something)
I recommend using this IV calc http://www.metalkid.info/Pokemon/Calculators/IV.aspx
just fill in the nature and characteristic, then after 5 rare candies (butting in the values each level) it almost always knows the exact IVs
alright asking this again cause i didnt get as clear an answer as desired but eh...
im RNGing victini and this time the spread i want is on frame 5. ive saved in front of victini and i have 2 pokemon in my party (im doing c-gear)
so what im wondering is what range of delays do i have to be in? my target delay is 4711 so which delay do i have to hit before that to be able to do my advancements?

will the non-fools rng reporter be out by today? because considering i am not admin on my comp, i am kind of fed up with the RNG reporter only working on April 1st
1) set the clock
2) turn the system pack ona nd load to the main menu
3) start the game 1 second before your target time
4)immediately press and hold whatever button you have to press(or don't if its a no press seed)
5) wen it gets to the black screen you can release the button and press A to get to the continue screen
6)continue but don't turn on the C-gear.
7) fight the pokemon, catch it and check its nature.
write down this nature, now, you'll want to re-do steps 1-6 and this time save your game before going to step 7, if its not the nature you like then...
re-do steps 1-6 again, but this time save 2 times before fighting... and etc.
oh and if there is any required walking, yu do this before saving. but I prefer to pick seeds on frame 1, its much faster than having to walk before hand.
inb4 the majority of the last few pages gets sent to Trou Du Cul
If that still isn't clear enough for you, then stop now and get out of the thread.
If you're talking about calibration, then you can start advancing as soon as your hit delay is as close as you want it to be. In other words, it depends entirely on your own judgment. Of course, you aren't actually going to get the result you want until you hit the exact delay, so the closer the better.

you have to hit 4711, anything else and it won't work.
