*Revamped RNG Discussion/Help Thread [Do not ask about Gen 6 RNG]

[dewey911p]

Hi there. I learned how to RNG in BW1 late last year and it's been a blast. I've been using it mostly for egg abuse since I'd caught most of my legendaries early.
I tried RNGing eggs in BW2 to avail, so I keep my breeding projects in my White with no problems at all aside from the occasional 'missed by one or two frames.'

Now I have two DS lites, both quite old. DS lite #1's battery sometimes fails to charge but the clock is flawless; while the other one, the newer one, DS lite #2's battery is in top shape but the clock on this one is broken and stuck. I exchanged their batteries later and have been RNGing fine since. Had to recalibrate and all, but no real problems.

However since the start of the new year I cannot seem to hit my desired seeds on DS1. The monster that hatches isn't even on my seed. I am, however, hitting the same particular seed since the same monster pops out every time I try to RNG an egg. Has anyone else had this problem? Are there any solutions to this at all?

It just sounds like you missed your Timer0, keep trying and eventually you will get it. T0 can be a royal pain sometimes.

hey guys am i doing everything right when i search out a seed for stationary legendarys...its been awhile once again...capture tab, stationary...min/max set to 1/1 and then imput all i need check the box for sycronized only? input iv's etc and serach? also for cressila and hetran since they are not genderless...does that make a difference?

Sounds like you are doing everything just fine. The "Syncronize only" box is optional, but it will only return frames that are affected by syncronize, which is always nice.

As for the gendered legends, that doesn't have any bearing on anything at all really.

okay thanks dewey im just having a heard time searching out a seed and was making sure i was doing everything right trying to go for cressila...thats why i asked about the gender thing...

Is there a guide for fcalibrating in black2 white2? I want to rng a shiny Cresselia, and the Latis, but I'm not quite sure how to set up for it. My second question is, do the Latis count as stationary pokemon?

RNGAbuse's B2W2 parameter-finding guide. Also, you can calibrate using the old B1W1 method except doing the process multiple times to find your most common Timer0's. As for the Lati's they're just regular stationary pokemon, just save 1 step before walking on the trigger pannel.

Soo, what if I am using rng reporter, not pprng?

EDIT: Okay, so trying to calibrate my White 2. I keep getting either no results or two results! What could I be doing wrong?

first of all you need to serach your seed about 10 to 15 times to find the timer you hit the most...mostly all bw2 have at least 2 timers that hit the most...you need to find them...see the thing is about bw2 the timer0 is extremely trolling and frinicky cuaz i think if im correct it has at least 20 different timers i was told...it likes to change alot...so you need to do a perimeter serach like at least 10 times to find your seed...also you should be finding only one timer0 result for each trial...it took me a few days to find it but you will find it eventually...

It mostly depends on what DS system you're using. DS Phat/Lite have the fewest number of timer0's, while the 3ds has the most. DS Phat/Lite generally only have 6-8 timer0's, and you'll normally only hit 3-4 of them.

Howdy all! I'm new to the RNG scene and seemed to have come across a problem during the calibration stage. I can gladly detail my entire processes but I'll stick to a few key items right now. I've learned from numerous forums and videos that your Vframe and Vcount should remain consistent however everytime I use the old method of Sweet Scenting, then checking IV's, I had not been able to hit any consistently. I then upgraded to the newer method of using Unova Link as described in this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdIrt_L34OE . Just for clarity I am using Black 2. With the Unova Link method I have still not been able to find a Vframe and Vcount that match consistently, I've repeated the process numerous times ( approx 30-40 times over the course of 3-4 days) and no avail. I'm currently trying to RNG a non-shiny Gothita with 31 Sp. Atk and 31 Sp. Def at frame 1.

Key Points:
Cannot find my consistent Vframe and Vcount
DS i
Black 2
RNGing Gothita
Using PokEcheck to check IV's

oh yeah that is right forgot about that with different ds it makes it worse or better so that explain people with a 3ds would have more trolling right? XD thanks for correcting me agonist also guys is it just me is hitting a right-down-X button hard? i did 128 steps 4 pokemon in my party...my min/max frame was on 1-6 i got the frame of 5...after i did the steps did the chatot crys i never seem to hit my nature or my pid? what in flip am i doin wrong? can someone explain me this? im trying to rng cressilia shiny...on the main reporter do i have to check the box that says black and white 2? also im suppose to be on gen 5 pidrng right? stationary? and then calculate starting frame then subtract from starting and hitting frame? yet again its been awhile for stationaries as well...sigh...im such a helpless soul XD LOL

edit: also siin just a shot in the dark asking but are you using a reporter for windows and not pprng? if it a normal windows 9.96.5 then its broken...you need to do it harder way by doing it at least 10-15 but like agonist said depends on your ds on how many timers and your have with the normal perimeter search...unova link method is only for pprnging right now which is a mac program...

My god, where is this information!? Thank you so much! And you're correct, down to the version number, I am using RNGReporter 9.96.5. . Instead of IV checking I'll probably just run PPRNG tomorrow under a mac virtual machine to save me time. Again, thank you a ton. I'll post tomorrow with the results.

Use IVs(Standard Seed), search for your desired IV frame, and check what PID frames are shiny and find a close one.

[Zenotwapal]

So uhhhh, since this is the most commonly used thread for RNGing (the Club is kind of defunct I guess)

Anyone have any speculation as to if we are going to be able to RNG in these Gen 6 games? I was curious to know if its going to be possible, as the game being 3D the framerate is going to be enormous.

im talking about the main reporter qoute :/...i already got the seed no problem i did that already...im having trouble hitting it....i have a frame 5 which someone told me i have to walk 128 steps with 4 pokemon in my party then do the chatot flips but everytime i do nothing matches...i keep getting off randomness hits that never match the main reporter...i was wondering if i did everything right in the main reporter...i plugged in the seed in the main reporter and i used standard seed,pidrng tabs, made sure the thing was sychronizer bold, do i use the bw2 check box?, and then i hit calculate starting frame, and then i took that and generated it...after that i took my hit frame 110-my starting frame 54 which i got 56 chatot flips...my buttons press are all strange too right down x...

how the hell are we suppose to know, it's 10 months away! It is possible to RNG on a 3DS now and it is not like 3D modeling will use the same MT RNG that the pokemon uses, hell, 3D modeling doesn't even use an RNG (as far as I know anyway). I see no reason why RNging wouldn't be possible in gen 6 but we won't know for another year any way so...

Well, if you are on B/W 2 and there is a check box for B/W 2, you might want to check it. Your SSF will change. Also, if you used memory link, be sure to check that box as well. From there you should get your results eventually, but keep in mind the large number of Timer0's in B/W2

Well it's food for thought really. I just wanted to see everyone's opinion on it. There's a bunch of factors of determining whether or not if I want to buy these games, and RNGing's one of them (not a huge one but its of semi importance.)
I know this thread isn't really meant for this type of discussion, but since the RNG Club is defunct practically and Smogon hasn't begun talking about these games ( as far as I know ) which leads this to be the only place to start that kind of discussion.
Just curiosity, ya know?

[joej m]

has anyone thought of how long it will be before we can RNG for the new games? D: even though i dont RNG, i use it for competitive play... so now it is back to the drawing board of cracking the code... :/
but... i guess now we have to IV breed... Dx

Don't ask.

hmmm okay and memory link? i don't think i used that at all...i could be wrong...it may just be my timer0 then...

[ANGRYDONUT123]

Anyone here can provide a well explained process of hidden grotto RNG (getting for example a poliwhirl in a hidden grotto). I read the smogon guide but somehow still don't really get it. Help is much appreciated and thanks in advance!!

What part are you having a hard time with?
