You're a real lifesaver, man! Thank you for the concise yet detailed answers. I guess I'm just unlucky with shiny hunting haha. Thank you so much again!

So as the title implies, I need help. So I saw from the RNG forum of Gen 5 in Smogon that the PID (Shininess etc...) of a pokémon no longer generates within the same source as the TID and SID like it does in Gen 4 therefore PIDs are generated differently now and TID/SID abusing can be disregarded in the Gen 5 games. (But I do know that shiny PIDs are still tied to the TID and SID) Now, what I do wanna ask are the following: 1. Can I edit my TID and SID to random/specific numbers freely without worrying about my shiny odds? 2. I just edited my TID to 62002 and SID to 62202. Is that legal? Can the game generate that through legitimate means? I edited it like that for aesthetic purposes. (It's my birthday credentials lol) 3. Will I still be able to get shinies through normal means even though I edited my TID and SID or will it affect things? Tl; dr I edited my TID and SID to 62002 and 62202, respectively. Would that mess things up for my shiny hunting? I'm sorry if my question is dumb, I just wanna make sure I'm not wasting time shiny hunting a starter in my Black 2. Thanks!
