Pretty much, all you got to do is luck out. No way of checking your delay, no way of tracking your frame. It's pretty much all luck induced.
If you dare try. Save in front of Elm's door, and let the one lady at the bottom of your screen move until you hit your correct IV frame that will make one of the starters shiny.
do i have to determine mi SID to do this??
If you're going to a shiny starter at the beginning of the game it's assumed that you're going to RNG your ID/SID so yeah, you do need to know your ID/SID.
how would I go about doing this if i do not have an Action Replay
^ its hard to explain without a knowledge of how much you actually know about RNG, assuming you know nothing, a good place to start is to pick a spread you want to abuse your ID/SID for then taking that PID and using Pandora's box to output ID/SID combos.
Abusing your ID/SID is not really the place I recommend starting for RNGing, HG/SS is fairly easy to RNG breed/capture so read the DPPt guides, watch bearsfan01 videos on youtube, get a familiarity with what your doing and the tools(RNGReporter/PokeRNG/Various Timers) your using.
If you really want to learn the ID/SID abuse read this AFTER you read the basic guides in the first post
Then if you have questions ask here. You can also ask any question you have about the capture/breeding part of RNG here too.

Can someone help me out? I need to find my parameters in order to rng abuse standard seeds. Only thing, I'm using a flashcart, a TTDS to be precise, and I don't know how to find them. I'm using a Nintendo DS Lite so I think I should be able to rng abuse standard seeds.
Sorry, wrong thread =( I'll post on the other one.

Lowen: 5th gen Rng thread might have a better idea on how to do it, but my guess is since there are 4 for that encounter slot that its a 25% chance.
.Lele: first of all you can't confirm your delay with coin flips(annoying) so there is only one option I know of since Sweet Scent doesn't work. Thats to use the PokeRadar, and walk into the non shiny spot(guaranteed not be a radar pokemon). So it involves, first hitting your delay(confirmed by catching a pokemon via the radar) once you know what your delay looks like(the shaking spots are in the same spots for each delay) then calculate how many steps/turns to the non shiny shake spot, and add however many frames you need for the shaking spots(its in the 6th-9th post on how much the number of spots advance the frame) subtract that from your target, -6(5 for catching the pokemon and 1 for the monster frame) divide the remainder by 2 to get your journal flips. If its an odd number at the end, throw in an extra turn on your route to the shaking spot.
I got a Jolly Dugtrio on Route 228 with 31/31/31/24/31/31 doing it this way.

And concerning the method to use, do I have to use method j?
Hey there! I just have a quick question... I hope. ._.;;
I understand the basic concept of RNG abuse for Platinum and B/W (And have actually RNG'd a few nice Pokes... Go, go all 31 Adamant Metagross!). My question is about Platinum RNG Abuse. The guides I've read and videos I've watched are two years old, and they insist that I have to reset x amount of seconds before I press A on Continue (x being the time it takes for me to load my save file after I've soft reset. And yes, I know about Delay, too. I'm actually consistently hitting 14 seconds and 602 Delay - assuming I reset at xx:00 - , so I'm planning on using seeds that generate that time.). This worked fine for me yesterday, but my L button has been failing me, and now it won't reset for me today. Can I do something similar to B/W RNG abuse - and by that, I mean load up the game from the DS menu a second before my supposed "reset time"?\
And if I can't do that, is there anything else I can do to make up for the fact that I can't soft reset?

So I would still load the game from the DS menu a second before my "reset time"?
load the game exactly the seconds of your reset time or as the timer hits zero
I don't remember about the water/falls but I was in the very first room of Mt Silver when entering the cave near the pkmncenter.
If you scroll up to the beginning of the water encounter slot -table there is an explanation:
Surf | Surf (Water Spot) | Fish | Fish (Water Spot)
So the 4 pokemons in the same slot mean the first one is encountered when surfing, the second one when surfing to a water spot, the third one when fishing (there is a chance you only get "not even a nibble" though) and the fourth one when fishing from a water spot. :)
What are you searching for?
What did you fill the boxes with?
Cuz I searched for an ID/SID it found 5 in like 10 seconds, literally.
Just got myself an ID of 34567 :P
Well yeah, when you refine a search to that it might never come up. As that ID/SID combo might not even exsist. Let alone appear any where in time for that game.
