That isn't considered cheating and if you enter the game at the exact same time, same keypresses, same actions afterward, you will always get the same pokemon iassuming you hit your seed. To learn how to change what pokemon you get, watch Bearsfan's video that is linked in the first post of this thread and if you still don't understand, send me a VM.
What I don understand is I want to get a scraggy, but there are other pokemon there. how do i only encounter scraggy everytime? sorry what is VM? kinda new to the forum=(
Do you know what an encounter slot is?
Have you found out which encounter slot the pokemon you want is in?
Have you searched for seeds that give you that encounter slot?
I suggest you read through the basic info again, paying attention to encounter slots this time.
If you are using a seed which should give you a Scraggy in the area you are in, either you are not hitting your seed, or you have a timer0 problem.
- Sorry for VM misinfo. Winter's Zombie just let me know VM stands for Visitor Message.
Like Kailassa said, go back over anything that mentions encounter slots and probably PIDRNG too. If you're still having trouble understanding what you need to do, just click on my username and then on 'View Public Profile' and it will let you write me a message. If you're far enough that you can enter the game and hit your seed, the rest should be very easy for you so it won't take long. Good luck. :)
yea now i know what is encounter slot ahha.
I think i kinda understand it now.
What i know is when i ss then my frame is at 53.
and after tat i start the game and this time i save once and ss. then my frame went to 56. i caught tat pokemon. i thought when we save the frame increases once? not sure in this part..
Do help=D oh and what if the frame I want to get is around 400+? i hav to chatter that much?

It sounds like you are in an area with NPCs. If so, saving is an unreliable way to advance the frame because they will mess with it. Instead, you should chatter to advance and then use sweet scent. If you want it even easier, you could go to P2 Laboratory. There are no NPCs that advance the frame there and Scraggy on two encounter slots. Chatots are still faster than saving though. :p
Exactly. If you're wanting to hit 400, that means a lot chatot calls a careful counting. Saving that many times would drive you mad. O_o
No. Luckily his rotating doesn't affect the frame. That's where I go to do all my Frillish fishing. :3
oh ok! i was spamming the X button as fast i could haha. now i am not sure what is this problem..=( after i reach there and i saved the game. then set to the time for to hit the seed. first try i got frame 231. then the next time i saved once and i got frame 225. and then i tried the 3rd time which i chatter for 6 times and i got frame 871-.-"
y does it have so much difference? for the frame 871 it is becoz i only find tat pokemon with tat ability and nature over there so i assume thats the frame since its almost all IV 31.
Btw my chatot i transfer it from soul silver. does it make any difference?
So sorry. really noob=(

Do you know which frame is which?
Do you understand there are 2 RNGs, the IV RNG deciding IVs and the PID RNG deciding the pokemon's other attributes? Walking advances the IV frame, but also tends to advance the PID frame. Chatters are the best way to advance the PID frame.
When you're talking about advancing the frame in your posts, you need to make it clear which frame you're advancing. If you're confused about them, that's some more learning you need to do.
Until you know what you're doing, you need to stick to an IV frame of 1, and a fairly low PID frame, (60 - 100).
Do you know to find your Initial PIDRNG Frame and subtract that from your Nearest Shiny Frame to find out how many chatters to do?
Do you understand how to chatter to advance the frame?
Forgive me if I'm asking questions which are below your level, but without first knowing what your level is, it's difficult to know where to start in order to help you.
Almost all IV 31 means nothing. It will have exactly the same IVs as your seed if you have hit your seed.
Read my previous post please. What frames are you referring to in your post? What are the IV and "nearest shiny" frames for your seed? What was your shiny (PIDRNG) frame after subtracting the Initial PIDRNG frame? Did you record custom chatters onto your Chatots after getting them out of your computer? (Being from SS is not a problem.) Did you listen to their/its chatters by viewing the summaries?
You did not get frame 871, btw, after 6 chatters. That's not possible. It really sounds like you don't have a clue what you're doing. Well, when I started I didn't have a clue either, and found it all terribly confusing. People helped me until I understood it, and are still helping me. So perhaps I can help you if you can be patient enough to answer these questions.
yea i know that my iv frame is 1. what i am now not sure is bout PID frame on how it works.
Shiny frame also no idea.
What i know chatter advance 1 frame. am I right?
Dont worry bout it=) I need to learn a lot more haha.
well i know that i do not need to walk at all when i start the game, all i need to do is to SS and i can get the pokemon with 31 IVs. but to get the nature that part i am not sure how to calculate it. i pressed initial PIDRNG Frame and i got starting frame of 44.
so for example if i wan to get frame 100 i will hav to chatter 56 times?
but what I am not sure is sometimes I chatter but the PID frame did not move as i get the same pokemon, same nature and same ability when i start the game and straight away sweet scent.
Sorry for all the trouble=(

how do i find my nearest shiny frames? i am not sure what is tat..
yea i did record custom chatter. and i listen to the chatter by viewing the chatot alternate times. does it matter if i start to view chatot or another pokemon first?
if i am not going for shiny it is also the same?
haha sorry bout the frame 871. really no idea at all.
oh and would it be much easier if i get a synchroniser?

Yes. One chatter advances one PID frame so 56 would be right in that instance. Are you chattering before you save the game or when you load it? It should go, start the game at appropriate time, enter the menu, chatter x number of times, use sweet scent. You can also check to make sure you hit your seed(IVs) by looking at the characteristic of the poke you catch or by using an IV calculator.
EDIT: A synchronizer would likely make it much easier. What is your target frame (PID) right now?
yea i did the way it should go=D
and the 3 frames i told u i hit my seed.
err target frame means what is the frame i want to reach to?
sorry if i really ask a dumb question-.-"
Yes. Is 100 the one you're after? With a synchronizer in the front of your party, any PID frame that had a nature in bold font would become the nature of your synchronizer. If you don't have the one you need, I would be happy to send you one.
If you view the summary of a Chatot with a custom chatter recorded, it will advance the frame. If it doesn't, it has no custom chatter. When you store your Chatot in the computer, it loses its custom chatter. You need to record a new one each time you get it out.
If you are searching for a shiny frame, the search you're doing should tell you the natures for the frame it finds. Otherwise, when you plug your full seed into the main window of Reporter to find your initial PIDRNG frame, just set it to Method 5 PIDRNG and Wild Pokemon, (if that's appropriate,) click generate, and look for the nature you want there.
As Str0ngbad pointed out, the bold natures are synchronisable.
ah i would like synchronizers=D! i would be really grateful for that str0ngbad!=) is it ok if i am a little greedy? i wan adamant and modest=D
oh and when it synchros.. it synchros with the bold natures rite? but which bold nature? say i wan adamant, but which bold adamant will it be?
the first?
can it be the 2nd? or is it random?
sorry that u guys r trying to help me and out and i reply late.. went out for movie ahha

It doesn't synchronise with Bold natures, it synchronises with any nature printed in bold print.
Any nature which is in bold print is synchronisable.
If you choose a frame with the nature printed in bold, and RNG it with a synchroniser leading your party, the pokemon you catch will have the nature of your synchroniser.
If you're using a synchronizer it can be ANY nature as long as it is bold. The bold means it will CHANGE to your synchronizer's nature os it could say calm an it would turn into adamant with the appropriate synchronizer. Make sense? I have to go to work but I'll see how far you've gotten when I come back. Also, I sent you a message. Look in the top right of the screen for a notification.
I hope you're talking about PIDRNG frames here, because you're never going to RNG IVRNG frames of that magnitude.
Can I assume your IV frame is 1, so all you have to advance is the PIDRNG frame?
Can I assume there are no wandering NPCs or weather advancing the frame where you are RNGing?
Are you trying to RNG a non-shiny pokemon?
These two frames you postulate, are these from the list you see when you choose a seed from your initial search, and put that (full) seed into the main reporter window and click generate?
If so, see the number you get (Starting Frame) when you press the calculate initial PIDRNG frame? Subtract the Starting Frame from the number of the frame you have chosen to find how many frames you need to advance. The easiest way to advance these frames is to use a pair of Chatots, record a custom chatter on them, and flip between their summaries once for each advance needed. Each viewing of a Chatot summary, if it has had a custom chatter recorded since it was last withdrawn from the computer, advances the PIDRNG frame by one.
As for how to choose the frame, it's customary to first expand the list to fill the screen, blindfold oneself, take the patented RNG tool, (a pointy stick,) and shout as loudly as possible, "I choose YOU!" while plunging your tool into the monitor screen. Remove the blindfold and locate the latest gouge in your screen to find which seed you have chosen.
If you have not yet acquired a pointy stick, you'll have to just look at the various attributes in each frame, and choose a set of attributes you'd like your pokemon to have.
