Ho-ho-ho. It's about time they caught on. While I never did go online to do battles with the cartridge in a different Region 3DS, I did accidentally use the same save (on a different Region 3DS, pre-GameSync) to collect a wonder card for screenshots, (which I remember the incident very clearly), so that is how they caught me. I probably went online without checking my Luma's Region setting. (it was set to a different region settings, argh) We will update this page, as the story develops. Sources: Me.

Yeah, so this is what it looks like it is doing (roughly) is this: seed (RTC minutes like R/S, with the xor high and low bits) pidh pidl if pidh is 0, or it with 0x2003 if pidl is 0, or it with 0x327 -- pid is not used pidh (again) pidl (again) if new pid is shiny, increment pid until not shiny. Increment maxes out at 8. iv1 iv2 item is based on the original RTC seed calculation, which is indeterminate based on the seed because the RTC seed is xor'd before its sent to seed the RNG. I never dived into R/S seeding, so I am not sure how the RTC is calculated, like based on minutes from an epoch, a random date, etc. I also don't know the seed period of GBA games, so maybe someone can chime in with that info.

Wow, you answered my question fast hahah Thank you.

The gift will be in your "Gift Album". Think of it being similar to receiving receiving a gift from the Internet: it goes into your gift album. Meaning to collect the Pokemon/Item in game, go to the delivery man. So far, I've injected a few wonder cards between game syncs, haven't gotten banned for that. Yes, there is an inherent risk for injecting events that aren't ongoing, as we aren't sure if the PGL checks for that.

It's time for everyone to stream online Channel Jirachi shiny hunts.

Update: I found the shiny check, which roughly translates to while pid is shiny, pid +=1.

That is because the true percentage is 65535^2/2^19 or ~8191.75. Since there is an extra spread within the 65535 seed range due to the TID/SID combination, the chance goes up considerably. The PRNG for pokemon channel is seeded down to the nanosecond so every number in the 32bit range can be hit within a relatively short period. And until the menu button is mapped and applied, it is assumed that it is the same chances as the normal game. Even flipping the bits (or not) via the broken check may not affect the right PIDs to lower/raise the chance.

yeah i think we're out of luck here unless someone has the actual gba distro cart for the negaiboshi. to figure out how it works anyway. if someone does actually have it and is weary about giving it to anyone, remember, no one knew i had the 10anniv rom for more than 5 years, and even then it became known only because other people let it out. e: same goes for pcjp2003 and anything else we need info on.
