Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

Alright so, can someone explain the mechanics behind using a super rod in Plat/HGSS RNG? I don't think I saw it in a guide. How does RNGing fishing work?

And then can someone explain how that ties into RNGing a Feebas in Plat? ._. Like what encounter slot(s), if any, Feebas is supposed to be on.

Feebas's frames jumps in an odd way, if you fish on frame 1, you could meet the feebas for frame 20 and if you fish on frame 10, you could still meet the feebas on frame 20, my only advice is to find a spread with at least 7 frames that give that desire spread and hope you land on one of them and you encounter a feebas.
 
I've been doing some calibration test within Plat recently and while I did find a consistency with my calibrated seconds I'm still bit confused on my delay. Is this kind of different between each delay considered normal?

It is kinda strange you were able to enter the game in 14 sec, while the others are 15 sec. When calibrating you should enter the game as fast as possible.

I've used 15,606 before, worked for me.

In my case it seems like it as well.

Well I was trying to enter the game at a reasonable amount of time. Wasn't flat-out button mashing, but pressing the A button at a decent range. I went back at with, now with the intent of entering the game as fast as humanly possible. The result were a bit more consistent (usually getting a range between 600 and 608). Still got a few oddball reading here and there, but I'm 100% sure I entered the right time and Pokemon info for each reset.

Now that you know that on average you can hit a frame of 600, you can now use a timer to increase your time, so you do not have to smash.
 
So I just abused an ID/SID combo on my Platinum game, does anyone know how I can abuse my starter?

ID: 17771 SID: 54109 Seed: D2140289
 
I have just finish to RNG a chikorita(with a 31/30/31/x/30/30 adamant spread,just to try it).
You should save in front of the last step before elm call you,advance the frame going out(+4 of frame every seconds I think,cause the NPCs),the go in,speak with elm,and if you have hit the right frame the starter will be shiny(before to pick up too)
but remeber,every starter has a different starting frame,check them in the method 1 page in this topic

Yeah but I want to abuse Piplup in Platinum. I know I have to use Method 1, and now I'm saved 1 step in front of that case with the Pokémon. Would Piplup have the same frame as Totodile in HGSS? And how do I advance frames in Platinum?
 
For emulator RNGing, how would you change the clock for it? Sorry for the noobish question lol, Is it deyermined by your main computer clock?
 
Feebas's frames jumps in an odd way, if you fish on frame 1, you could meet the feebas for frame 20 and if you fish on frame 10, you could still meet the feebas on frame 20, my only advice is to find a spread with at least 7 frames that give that desire spread and hope you land on one of them and you encounter a feebas.

Lovely lol. Do you know how many frames are advanced when you fish? Like when you throw the rod into the water and wait, does that advance it by 1? And if it says no nibble does it advance again or...?

I believe frame advancement is slightly different from normal wild pokes so yeah. Thanks for your advice though.

vent: Yes.
 
Alright thanks for the advice. I'm using a flawless Calm spread that has like 20+ shiny frames with a synchronizer so let's hope I get lucky. >>;

Does that mean the starter's IVs/PID are generated before you talk to Elm?
 
No, when you pick them up.
If you RNG them shiny, when you go to pick them up, they will be shown as shiny! It's pretty cool!

So does this mean you can save after you talk to Elm, then hit your seed and advance and then take them? Or do you have to save a step before you talk to Elm like Fenix said.

Also, I have a seed (B1150781) that is only able to be hit during the hour 21, but I want to hit it during the day/morning so I can get a ditto from the Safari Zone without using blocks (Baoba is taking forever to call!). Is there any way to change the time of the seed?

When you hit it, savestate and change the time. Reload the savestate, and you'll have still hit the seed, but it will be morning.
 
Oh god, I forgot about that. Then you'll have to close your DS and wait for morning to come. But the frame will have advanced by a certain number for flipping the date IIRC.

Lol xD I don't think I have the patience to do that. I'll just use Blocks, but Baoba is not calling and it's been a while. .-.

Also, for HGSS starters, when should I save? Before I talk to Elm, or before I pick my starter?
