My first journal page (when I load the game) tells me that I caught a PKMN. What effect, if any, does it have on my frame?
Target frame should be 1 when you first boot in. Save less then two days before that date that you set so that the journal doesn't come up and you can properly verify your seed.
If you're not getting close to target frame, then make sure NPCs aren't causing it. There can't be anything else going wrong unless your frame is just so high that it becomes your error.
Verify you hit your delay with coinflip first though before you walk to get to your target. Journal flips can't be helped, XD.
Hi, Kluch. Check your dates and times. Whenever I can't get even a small sign of an adjacent, it's always a date and time problem, either with how I set the DS, or how I entered the dates on RNG Reporter. Also, if you happen to have chosen a date on the very last day of the month, get off it and choose a different day. For some reason, I can never hit an adjacent on the 31st of the month. RNG weirdness.
Too bad theres another 3 (i think) you cant see.I'm in a good spot to see if any NPCs have moved and so far in every trial they have NOT. I have a starting frame of 3 (even when you factor in the first page) and a target frame of 5 at the moment.
Yeah, I've chosen a date other than the end of the month and a time well after the hour. I'm sure all my dates and times are correct and I've synchronized my DS with my computer clock.
I know its one more thing to learn, but I strongly recommend you learn to use Pikatimer to time your RNG projects.
Helps you hit higher delays so your less limited.I don't mind learning about Pikatimer. What does it do exactly?
Well, it's a two stage timer that helps you narrow down your timing so you land on your delay. I have a small guide for it on my thread. It's a java package. You'll need to download it and make sure your Java software is set to open java packages on your computer.
Edit: I'm signing out. Good luck with your RNG and with Pikatimer.
I'd rather the frames. >_> I screw up my delay so often that I have to repeat it. Longer delay = less times I can repeat it. :p Whuch in utrn equals more chance of me giving up. :pI don't think you can encounter any pokemon in the location Heatran is, so that'd mean that walking/turning won't advance the frame like it would in a patch of grass. In that case, 128steps advances the frame by the number of pokemon in your party.
Here's a helpful advice someone gave me: Higher delays > high frames. So...you can use Wichu's RNG program to find a similar spread on a higher delay and use pikatimer instead of flipping journals that many time.
How do I to lower the frame so much? O_OAnd you might be thinking the time increase is that large. Usually with these normal catches, it's an increase of 4 or 5seconds, lol. Not that bad when your frame of 13000 has a good possibility of going down to 50, lol.
