Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

From the OP:

There are very few in game actions that advance the IRNG and they are listed below.

- Double clicking the Poketech Happiness Checker Application will advance the Incubator RNG by the number of pokemon in your party multiplied by two.
- Switching to the Poketech Happiness Checker Application will advance the Incubator RNG by the number of pokemon in your party multiplied by two.
- Using the coin flip application will advance the Incubator RNG by one.
- Having an egg generated will advance the Incubator RNG by one.
- Going into a wifi trade will reseed the Incubator RNG to an unknown value.
- Going into a union room trade will reseed the Incubator RNG to an unknown value.

Seriously, I am not going to list out the 1000's of things you can do in game that DON'T advance it.
 
No, and I have updated with OP noting this. You may try to run it on Wine+Windows Mono (www.go-mono.net) or under Mac mono. No one has managed it yet, though. If anyone would like to send me a Mac, I will personally look into making it run under Wine/WinMono, though. Not a crappy Mac, either, but a nice one.
 
I have a few questions. Say I did the shiny thing and then all is set and done all I have to do is get the egg from the Old Man, will all the eggs I get from the Man be shiny? Or just the first one? If I save before the egg gets created, it will always be shiny when I try to SR right?
 
k i got what i was doing wrong,i was mislead by the emphasis you put on the title screen, so i assumed that it was the game time. silly me lol

Only the first egg will be shiny.

If you save and SR before the egg is created, the initial seed is changed so the next egg would no longer be shiny. Once the egg is created, that egg becomes locked into being a shiny.
 
Ok, say i hit my shiny egg; sr me a mon.

If i noted down another spread
(eg. my first was rash but i wrote down the taps for an adamant)

If i wanna do adamant do i need to re-do everything, or what?
 
Is there a way to get lower frame numbers ? for some reason all my shiny spreads seem to have a large amount of taps on the happiness screen, my lowest one was something like 300 taps...
 
It does calculate, and if you read the OP you'd see that whether a pokemon is shiny or not is integral to even generating PIDS for international parents. Please don't start things like this, it just triggers a deluge of questions. "Oh, I heard internation parents don't work..." :/

300 is not a bad number. Anything under frame 5000 is pretty good (415 taps). Under 10,000 is what I go for normally, 832 taps, but I have gone for 1200 taps before.

Oh, so it's when the egg is generated, not when it is hatched. I was told otherwise on the previous page, but thanks for clearing that up.

So this means I should save when the egg is with the man then start SRing from there correct?

Yeah, hadn't checked OP immediately before posting like I usually do. Sorry...
 
It occurs to me that IV breeding might be screwed up because of all the RNG calls being made for the movement for all the characters in Solaceon Town. I'll test this later tonight with an emulator.

I doubt it; Emerald's RNG was broken the whole time, yet people still managed to IV breed... Unless you mean that abusing the RNG wouldn't work.
