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

[Pidj]

I''m trying to RNG a Cresselia on my White2 game and am hitting a snag besides the normal timer0 issues (which is being really difficult right now) but I've got a frame where by initial seed is 55 and my target frame is 69. 14 chatot advances, right? Well when I hit the seed and I did 14 advances I hit PID frame 65. I've done that twice now and I know I'm not that bad at counting (first time I chalked it up to not paying enough attention). Has anyone else seen this? Or can anyone offer an explanation why? Obviously the simple solution is to just do 18 advances instead but I want to know why?!?!

[Agonist]

It shouldn't be doing that, since there isn't anything to advance the PIDRNG other than yourself.

[Pidj]

That's what I thought. I've got the box ticked for b/w2 on the main screen so that should not be an issue. I've not done a shiny before so I could be missing something. Might try and find another seed and give that a go.

[Fallen Icarus]

Did you check the memory link? (if you did that already)

I've heard that it can mess with your starting pidrng frames

[Agonist]

That's the most likely culprit. Memory Link will slightly alter the PIDRNG starting frames to be slightly lower than they were before (in most cases, some seeds aren't affected).

Both in the main window and for the profile.

oh god thanks im doing everything right then...im in castella and im still not hitting nothing -_- well ill have to figure out what wrong then what im doing...also this is a really stupid question but if you breeding a all female or all male don't pay attention to the gender percentage boxes right? there now 100% so im doing the logic that it really donesn't matter looking at that...

If it is only one gender then you can leave the gender field blank as it doesn;t matter. In fact, the field usually says Fixed Gender/Don't Care/Genderless, so if it is a fixed gender or if you just don't care, leaving it blank will just allow you to find more seeds.

[Pidj]

Thanks for the advice Agonist and Fallen Icarus.

To my knowledge I've not used the memory link function in my game. Although I'm a bit ignorant on that front and don't know what I have to do to enable it.

I decided to check another seed I was hitting when I was being Timer0 trolled and 14 advances put me exactly where I should have been. Does this coincide with you saying memory link can affect some seeds but not all?

Thanks

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

oh okay thanks i normally just leave it blank anyway XD it works fine and i get more searches i guess...thanks alot dewey ^_^

i see yeah i memory linked it alright cuaz i thought it might help something but yeah im trying to rng keldeo and yeah it may just be a weird seed...i had not much trouble with genesecet...

edit: eventhough i just reliezed about that response was for pidj it still is useful to know these stuff and it might explain why im having trouble too...acutally tbh i remember having trouble with cressilia as well still...i might have a weird seed as well...

[Fallen Icarus]

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

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.

if you feel better im also having trouble rnging my keldeo and cressilia on that same cartage...i think he helped me too cuaz i did check both boxes on the reporter for memory link cuaz i i did and still having trouble...i think the reporter isn't finished yet or something cuaz my genesect i rnged without the memory link before i memory link i hit fine in castella...

I feel your pain... but tonight I got really lucky. I hit the Cresselia first time! Good luck with your Keldeo!

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.
