Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

Okay, it seems I'm hitting frame 6. The NPCs aren't moving, and I just hit the same frame again >< . Is there any way to hit frame 5 instead?

Just Make the first page of the Journal blank and then the 2nd and 3rd have a caught/Defeated pokemon. Flip to the 2nd and 3rd page once that will advance your frame by 4 then talk to the guy that will be 5.
 
red gyarados uses "chained shiny (theoretical)" method, but the nature it has is different from the one of the spread that you find in the rng reporter (for example, if you find a spread with adamant nature then put the seed in the reporter and click on "generate" using red gyarados' method, that spread will have another nature).

I have the first page with caught, and I'm flipping away from it, then back to it, then talking to the deliveryman, surely that counts as 5?

Well, maybe dragonboy has it, but I'd like to note that all DPPt 'marts have moving NPCs, they WILL advance your frame.

Yes, but I speak to the deliveryman before they move (as the guide says to do). This is a wondercard on my platinum, so I can't just switch to HGSS. I've managed to do it fine with an Arceus wondercard, just no luck with this one =\ .
 
NPC's don't always appear to move, but they can still advance the frame. HG/SS is SOOO much easier, dunno why you're doing it on D/P/Pt to begin with.
 
How would I do IVs for a Wondercard Pokemon on SS?

Go to Cerulean City pokemart. You're going to have to search for a method 1 spread in RNG Reporter. Try to hit that seed, but wondercards are 2 frames further than what shoes up for method 1.

i.e.
Method 1 frame 24
Wondercard frame 26

So Time Finder-Capture on RNG Reporter? This takes forever.
 
I guess so.

Anyway; couple questions.

1.) RNGing for a wild adamant Horsea. Which method should I use?
2.) How many frames does sweet scent advance on water?
3.) Can someone explain encounter slots for me?

1. What game are you using?
2. 3
3. Encounter slots are just basically ways of saying who you are going to see on that frame.
 
Can someone specifaclly explain to me the differences between catching wild pokemon in HGSS and bredding pokemon in HGSS. Also, when i try to search for a seed in the catch part of Time Finder, it takes forever and in the end doesn't give me a seed.
 
A quick question regarding Shiny spreads...is there a feasible way to find what shiny spreads your ID/SID combo give? This is for Heart Gold.

Yeah, there is.
Download a program called PokeRNG from the first page.
Open the program, put it to HGSS, mark the shiny box, input your ID/SID.
Set all the IV's to 0. Than set the drop down box to =>.
Set the minimum delay to 488, max to 10,000. Max frame to 0.
Than click search, and it will find all your shiny spreads for that ID/SID.

@Fire Blast
The difference is basically, for catches it's just 1 seed to get the Poke. Where as breeding is 2.
Breeds can have any nature, ability, gender and shiny combo. Where as shiny captures have to have the right Id/SID.
Captures also sometimes have very high delays where as breeding can have super low, to super high depending on what you want it to do.

Don't use timer finder. Use PokeRNG. It's quicker and better.

MAX frame to 0?
 

With Heartgold it will be method K.

So when you find your seed that you want the Horsea to have, right click the frame that has the spread. It will says 'Calculate Encounter Slots' click that, a new window will open with all the different calculated numbers.
At the bottom are some hot links to the different games, you're going to want to click Heartgold, than you can either Ctrl + F and type in Horsea to find all the places you can find Horsea at, or Ctrl + F to find the area you're going to abuse in and see if Horsea will match that encounter slot.

Just as an example. Let's say for the frame you just right clicked has a sweet scent on the water encounter slot of 4. Horsea is encounter slot 1, 3, or 5.
So you have to find the right frame that has an water sweet scent encounter slot of 1, 3, or 5. When you abuse correctly to that frame it will be Horsea that appears.

does this apply to wild pokemon too?

Does horsea always have an encounter slot of 1, 3, 5? Or is that hypothetical too?
If the frame doesn't match an encounter slot what do I do? Look for one that does?
