Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

There probably is a more officially way than what i did, but here's how I got my HP Ground Yanmega.

I saved just before stepping forward to pay and enter. I used the coin flip to check my seed before entering. Payed, and RAN as fast as possible to the closest patch of grass. I paused, used sweet scent, and caught the pokemon (make sure you have an open space in your party). Once the battle ended, I brought up the menu (like, as soon as possible). I checked it's IVs and found the frame, advanced until I just needed to sweet scent. Even then, it took about 4 resets due to NPCs.
 
Hmm, so is there no RNG software what so ever downloadable for mac? I have a PC as well, but I prefer to use my mac over that computer and would be a whole lot more convenient if this were available for it. :(
Maybe I should just go ahead and buy windows for mac.
 
For some reason that download just doesn't like to work correctly on my computer. Thanks anyways, though. I'll just have to suffer and use my dinosaur PC.
 
Hello, I'm looking for help in my calibration phase part for this. I am getting very consistent delays (almost always 646 or 648) by using a stopwatch and pressing "A" every second but my "seconds" have widely varied ranging anywhere from 13 to 35. Is there soething I am doing wrong? I am not pressing A as fast as I can because I am more consistent this way but should I just be doing it as fast as possible?

edit: also is "seconds" supposed to be the amount of time it takes between the game starting and hitting continue? Becuase according to my stopwatch, mine should always be 15-16 and I am usually getting higher than this.

Reading the guide again. Seconds is exactly the number of seconds on the DS clock the moment you press A at the continue screen. That's why you need to synch your DS clock with an external clock, or learn how to use emloop.
 
Ugh... I am having issues again.

Just now I was doing some RNG for Starmie, after I hit continue, I flipped my Journal to the first page, consisting a capture message twice. For example:

First Page: CAught Starly ,then I flip to second page
Second Page: Started from Solaceon, I flip to the first page, then repeat it ONCE.

This should increase the frame by 4 right? Why does the adjacent results are so off compared to what I hatch? I have no such problems when the target frame is the one that I got in frame calibration.

Can anyone tell me how to change the odd/even of the delay WITHOUT messing with the year or putting a GBA cart in?

Continuing with the HGSS theme here, if a spread is Method J, is there always going to be a Method K parallel?
Click to expand...
In a way, yes, Both Method J and Method K spreads are Method 1 spreads. But because a frame is available on DPPt using Method J, doesn't always mean you can get the same frame on HGSS Method K and vise-versa.

Just think of it the same way as when you use PokeRNG to find a spread, then use RNGReporter to find the Method J equivilant, but instead your using the Method K option

If your Journal is opening when you hit continue, you will have already advanced the RNG by two, so the act of reopening the Journal would advance the RNG for you again, to four. If that's not true, make sure that you don't have any "Defeated" wild Pokémon on either page.

As far as I know, this is impossible. You have to employ one or the other.

I don't really get your idea, but the second page don't have a capture/defeat wild Pokemon message. And my Journal is showing up when I was calibrating, showing the message.
In short, my first page have the message while my sec page don't, if I press A,B,A,B the frame should increase by 4, right?
And I DIDNT reopen my Journal, I mashed A and L once I am done with the journal.
 
Hey guys i need your help!
My rng reporter doesn't start. I downloaded every version of the .net programm, but each time, when i try to start it, the "hourglass" appears for 10 seconds and nothing happens. I don't know where the problem is, i also tried the systemregenration, but it doesn't help =/
 
Umm not sure if I can ask this question, but neither Check IVs code for the AR is working for me after a soft reset. Is this normal?

Also, my PC and DS are synched perfectly but I'm getting a time of 23 seconds when, watching my PC clock, it's only taking 14.
 
@Snus:
1) Most ARs don't retain there codes after a soft reset, so you're going to need to recalibrate doing a cold start(hitting start on the menu of the DS when the clock reaches the next minute).
2) Make sure the date and time are correct. There may be a difference in them, which can cause the seconds to appear off.
 
Hi So I've been RNG'ing and doing it exactly the way its meant to be done (RNGing for shinies that is) and have done the exacts flips and double taps...
and I still don't get a shiny...
is it because my SID code is wrong or what?

1) Figures.
2) Hmm, 2009 according to my DS. May be a problem. Thanks :)

Will probably be asking a few more questions later.

Ok, I keep getting a "No reasonable initial seed found. Please check your DATE and TIME."
Checked my date and time and they are correct. Double and triple-checked them, actually.

Edit: When I don't use my AR, it works at 14 seconds and 630 delay.
