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

Well im glad that it helped both Pidj and you eeveelover ^^

If you fail to achieve the seed a lot of times, say 20 times, you may just want to look up a new seed.
It would be faster, and save you a lot of stress

[Pidj]

The memory function is where you connect with your black/white 1 game and it allows various things to appear in your game, like flashbacks and n's pokemon.

That seed might have just been weird if you haven't done memory link. Some seeds are just like that

Thanks again. I've not done the memory link yet. I'll calk it up to a weird seed then. Quite annoying though!

EDIT: Just put the seed into RNG reporter again on the main screen and ticked memory link - hey presto starting frame is 4 earlier, which coincides with what I found. It is weird though because I am adamant that I have not done the memory link yet.

I hate the LR Keys. They were working fine until recently... I kept wondering why I wasn't getting the right IVs for a wild encounter and then I decided to blow on the bumper keys to see if there was dirt or something getting in the way. It worked but now I have to keep doing it everytime I want to RNG something.

I was just wondering, I RNGd my TID SID in black for a low shiny frame. The seed uses the R key. If I was to get a new DS lite (the one I have was second-hand so yeah) would I loose that low shiny frame? I really hope not cos I wasn't planning on playing through black again...

I would think you would since the MAC code (or whatever) would change too.

Damn, I thought so but I was hoping I was wrong. Does Nintendo still fix ds lites?

I know the hinges are broken on my DS lite but I reckon that could be easilly fixed with a screw driver which should help the bumper keys but I've never tried this befor...

[Agonist]

Easiest solution is to just find a seed that doesn't use L/R. In RNG Reporter, there's an option in the profile that will ignore seeds that require L/R keypresses.

Yeah I know, it just limits my search.

[Fallen Icarus]

I'n pretty sure Nintendo still fixes Ds lites. I got my microphone fixed not long ago.
Its fairly expensive though, so you may just want to rng a new seed.

Like agonist said, just take the L+R buttons out of the search. It may shorten your search, but probably not by that much

[Kiy7866]

Can rng pokemon join the wi fi event league ?? Or is it banned??

[Fallen Icarus]

Its not banned because its perfectly legal.

Nintendo only checks for hacks, and rngs wont be picked up as hacks, as they're not.
I think hacks have some type of code that que nintendo in.

31 ivs in all stats with shiny may raise some eyebrows however

[Kiy7866]

Even the shiny flawless rnged pokemons us also allowed to enter right?? what about event pokes??

[Hozu]

Entered in what? They're allowed in official VGC competitions so anything that disallows them is laughable imo.

[MSK]

I have an entire Shiny RNG'd team that I use for Wifi and VGC competitions. It's fine at VGC but online people assume you're a cheat and will DC on me when I beat them
Really wish you could edit the message your character says at the beginning entirely because I'd put "I RNG, get over it!"

[Fallen Icarus]

xD that'd be funny. Orr....
something else.

My message right now is.. "What do you think of LOSS?"

A question is in VGC tournaments do they know about rng?
Or do they just assume, that since you dont have any residue of hacking, that you were just really, really lucky?

[Hozu]

They know about it.

They are well aware of it, and tolerate it since they can't call something that uses only the game and hard mathematics hacks.

Well that's nice to know.
Does Gamefreak generally have a negative view on rng'ing?
It seems like they're like: Yeah, its not a hack, and we can't do anything about it, but we sure don't like it.
