If you are just SRing when the time hits whatever, then it doesn't matter if it goes straight to the game. It just makes it a hassle to take the DS game out and re-insert it every time to change the date.

Seconded I've been lately interested in this method since it's making the pokeradar useless by now making the pokes shiny and flawless >_> thanks
Try catching some things like an azelf or something and seeing what frame it lands on. Unless you have runners out it should always be one.
This is strange. You mention only diamond, but have you verified that it does work on platinum/pearl? Or?
Hrm, or at least not determined by the number that is returned being odd/even, at least. I will try to verify this on diamond and pearl and see if I can replicate.
EDIT: I can't seem to replicate. Did a quick test in Diamond and did 32 flips and got a complete match. Any thoughts and what could be going on? Are you hitting the happiness checker screen on your way to the flips?
The only other thought is that I am completely missing the initial seed or misreporting it. That should be easy enough to check by catching a 2nd monster and seeing if it is on the list.
Yes, check this link:

Mingot, regarding your fears that the coin results are different on Diamond and Pearl, I don't believe that. I spent about four hours abusing on a friend's Pearl version, on which the coin flips were correct. I also have countless episodes of the coin flips working for me perfectly on Diamond.
Doesn't matter if you sweet scent and doesn't matter what app you're on.
You can sweet scent or just run around the grass to encounter a wild pokemon. Both will be capable of finding your initial seed. App shouldn't make a difference either.
anybody mind looking at my results? Sometimes I get 14 secs other times 15 but the delay is constant
figured it out,
sometimes I result when my external clock got to the next minute, these times I got 14 secs which is my time
others time I waited to reset until the clock on the game turned over it turns out the clock on the game lags so these 15 were not correct.

I need some help understanding the hatching perfect egg process. I'm at the last parts.
If I go too fast and have to wait on the Continue screen for the right time to come, is that messing things up?
And is step 5 just a backup plan if it backfires?
What do I do with the Find Adjacent Spreads tab? Is it just helping me find the exact timing of going to the Continue screen and when to click it?

I don't know where your "results" are but I suggest trying to do something that always gets you the same second. Besides that, just use the second you get the most for your seconds.
AromaFlora - Find Adjacent Spreads tab is used to find what egg you got. It allows you to see if you are off by a second, got to early or late of a delay, or got a different frame.
Yes waiting on the continue screen till the right time causes problem cause it increases the delay higher, which is bad.
Step 5 is used if you don't know which egg you got and can't find it adjacent spread or you get a 0 for HP and in the adjacent there are a lot of 0 HP ones.
@ wdistance: You are most likely hitting the reset slightly before or slightly after the clock hits the minute. If your delay is very close to 15 seconds, this can cause you to hit a consistent delay but miss the second. I would suggest resetting a half-second before the minute to shift all your results to 14 or a half-second after to hit 15. Try to hit whichever is more common for you at the moment.
Also, I have noticed while doing this myself that the DS clock (at least on my DS) sometimes has a "fast" second within the first ten seconds of hitting the clock set button, opening up a half-second lead on the external clock. Watch the clock for a little while after you set it to make sure it stays synchronised.

Since all grass pokemon start at frame 2 would I use that as my starting frame to find a perfect spread?
Edit: Here's the seed for the perfect wild pokemon I'm looking for: c913028f, now what I'm trying to do is look for the frame that I should target for but, I'm having no luck. I have it set to Method J, I generate to get a list of the Timid spreads and to no avail I find no spreads that look like: 31/31/31/30/31/31 for a wild pokemon. I input that IV spread into the IVs to be generated for a timid nature but, it comes up with nothing. Any help here?

It actually does show the method 1 frame, but it is labeled offset in the spreadsheet. Grrr. Anyhow, plug in the seed, select a synch nature/method J and look for the spread within a few hundred +/- the method 1 frame.
And, yes it is there.
I just entered the seed, selected method J, selected timid at the synch nature, and told it I was looking for 31 HP/ATK/DEF and hit generate.
BTW, that spread is electric.
I calculated the poketch taps for the same spread that Mingot so kindly helped me to find and it said 467 Happ. Taps and 10 coin flips. My question, Is it possible to flip this number of times and then find that pokemon with that IV spread in the wild?
Edit: Also which frame number should I follow for my target, the first one or the actual?
