Felt like passing by /vp/ today.
So, I feel like abusing some old mechanics. Purely time based. What about Sapphire?
Which one should I abuse for shiny? (We can't go for IV's, the spread is shit [If you want me to explain why, I will do so])
Also, if you know how to RNG Abuse in 3/4/5 gen, you can show your [live] results right here.
Which one should I pick?
>Bagon
>Claydol
>Lunatone
Feel free to ask anything about the RNG mechanics in the series.

How do you do this? Is it easy?
>>
>>27496730
Easy to do, hard to understand.
Gonna RNG a bagon really quick so you can see some "things" and understand the whole concept.
First of all:
Do you know what is the ID/SID?
>>
>>27496934
Not the guy you were talking to but are you talking about the trainer ID and the secret trainer ID?
>>
>>27497016
Exactly.
I could be a fuckhead and drop you this bomb right there and tell you to read it, but I'll try to explain it easily.
Anyways: http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/emerald_rng_intro
This tutorial is meant for Emerald, but it explains very well the basics of RNG in Pokémon, and how you abuse it.
In the 3rd generation, there is a compass of time when you boot the gameboy that selects a first number. That number is called a "seed" and will generate a quite big number of frames, containing all the information surrounding battle events like confusion and frozen status, and a set of characteristics that make up a Pokémon in the instant you enter a battle and a frame is choosen. That characteristics are often called spreads and refer to IV's, nature, encounter slots, hidden ability and gender.
These frames run at a speed of 60 frames per second. It's hard to hit the frame in R/S, but in Emerald we can use a Synchronizer to "choose" a frame with the same nature.
In 4th and 5th gen, the way seeds are generated and frames picked is different.

the ID and SID tell you exactly which frames in seed are shiny.

Got the Bagon already. Took me 3 tries. Heading for the lunatone.

>>27497434
Got the lunatone. Siiiick. 7 tries.

Need links pics or vids of this in action?

>>27497829
Yeah. Tutorials are not that good, but here's the live action.
R/S: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrJwC_3wsmA (this is what i'm doing rn, except my battery is dead and the seed is constant)
>3rd gen
E: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm3gbGteHok and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLzavTphvRg These are half tutorial half live action
>4th gen
D/P/Pt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWl8-cIXzjo
HG/SS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwIJ59awPmY (These calls advance the frames. 4th gen RNG Abuse is about actions)
5th gen (I don't even care about 5th gen abuse, many variables appear, yet it's similar to 4th gen)
