The Voltorb Flip game is actually seeded using the game's Mersenne Twister RNG. Kaphotics did some looking at it just last night actually, to see if it had any useful applications for RNGing. (4:13:57 AM) Kaphotics: 624 -> 16 for just starting the game (4:14:04 AM) Kaphotics: err, loading the table at goldenrod (4:14:46 AM) Kaphotics: god what the fuck (4:14:59 AM) Kaphotics: it chooses to advance a frame on certain tiles (4:16:19 AM) Kaphotics: oh I see (4:16:41 AM) Kaphotics: if you do a risky move (high chance of being a voltorb), it checks to see if it should warn you based on the risk (4:18:46 AM) Kaphotics: 624 -> 16 (next 17) -> 31 (next 32) -> 47 (next 48) -> 95 (next 96) (4:18:58 AM) Kaphotics: so essentially it's NOT constant but based on the MTRNG values it gets (4:19:04 AM) Kaphotics: it probably trashes certain ones (4:19:31 AM) Kaphotics: tl;dr -- not worth it We have several other ways of confirming seed\second\delay in HGSS, though. Elm calls are the most commonly used -- each time you call Elm, he gives three responses decided by the upper 16-bits of the RNG, modulus 3.

Both of you hacked Pokemon in ways the WiFi server doesn't care about (which is why they are legal there), but Pokecheck recognizes the hacking signs.

If there's no red warning flags on your Pokémon, don't worry about it. 1) GTS metadata info 2) It says "likely". For your Pokemon to have IVs as high as they are (which we don't know since you didn't post a link...) it is most likely, but not guaranteed, that it was RNG abused or edited. 3) Most people will infect their Pokemon with Pokerus in order to speed up the EV training process. Most people editing their Pokemon won't bother. The analysis is just being thorough in looking at possible warning signs. It doesn't apply to you, so don't worry about it.

Air Lock means V-create won't be hindered even in rain.

Confirmed. I was able to take a Mudkip to the HGSS move tutor and teach it Earth Power. It may be that the move can only be tutored in HGSS and not Platinum, like with Sunflora.

.NET 2.0 for RNG Reporter.

It is hacked. Your Floatzel came from Platinum, and Me First did not become an egg move for Floatzel until Black\White.

Exactly what kind of help do you need with breeding? And why would you need a program to help you with it?

Transform is a legit move on Smeargle. It can be Sketched if you Taunt a Ditto and immediately sketch Transform the next turn.

This tool is reporting the wrong seeds. It's posting the RNG call that comes after the IVs\PID are generated, not the one just before.

Also, Pokémon are never shiny. The game will continue to roll over to the next PID until the Pokémon is not shiny. Here's an example: Frame RNG Value 1 EDA5FFE8 IV Block 1 2 4EE63F0B IV Block 2 3 F953CDA2 ignored 4 BFB03DDD frames 4 and 5 form a PID that should be shiny (BFB04B1B) 5 4B1B992C but we know it rerolls to frames 6 and 7 6 3F07833F frames 6 and 7 also form a PID that should also be shiny with our ID\SID (3F07CBA9). 7 CBA9D106 we want to know if it only rerolls once, or if it keeps rerolling until not shiny 8 [b]2BC0[/b]C3B1 9 [b]FBF2[/b]57B0 final PID 2BC0FBF2, so the game rerolled until a non-shiny PID occurred on frame 8 and 9. I guess we could call it Uncommon GC (HIBA).

Here's the Worlds 2011 Scrafty. I'm surprised nobody else showed up at Worlds with a flashcart to download it, considering San Diego is more accessible than Hawaii is. Guested edit: adding...

Hydreigon still gets hit by your own Haxorus' Earthquake because of Mold Breaker. There will be no new DW-ability Unova Pokemon this year, you can be sure about that. They're not shaking up the metagame with new sets this year (like they did when those three shiny legendaries were introduced last year).

I think that first Scizor was PokeTransferred on between Japanese cartridges, not between English cartridges. That might explain some things.

Here's are two false positives that showed up. The first came from an egg generated in an English game but hatched on a Japanese game. The second is a Korean Tornadus.

ReignOfComputer graciously sent me his save file so I could RNG flawless Mamoswines and make them available to everyone for competitive use. Assuming somebody manages to find a competitive use for Ice Shard-less Mamoswine. Attached are Adamant, Jolly, and Naughty (for mixed sets) Mamoswines. Each nature comes in either a Dream Ball (for DW coolness) or a Poké Ball (to disguise the fact that your Mamoswine has no egg moves). FlawlessDWMamoswi.zip

My Silver has, amazingly, lasted 10 years and still has one of the "official" Mews. Unfortunately I don't have the equipment to make a save dump, unless someone can point me in the direction of some inexpensive save dumpers.

Here are revised IV\EV check codes made by Prof. 9. They work the same way as the old ones, (L = IVs, R = EVs, Start = normal) except these codes don't crash on DeSmuMe or No$GBA.

Nicknames can't have combinations of characters from different character sets. When you go to the name rater, you're given a blank and are forced to fill it in with characters only from the set for that game.

Speaking of TID stuff, I'd like to add that one can completely overwrite trash bytes by Pal Parking a 3rd Gen Pokemon and then renaming it on a 4th Gen game that has an identical TID, easily doable with RNG manipulation. So instead of simply saying "invalid trash bytes" in that case, maybe it could give a renaming notification.

Just to be clear, this is for 4th gen TID\SIDs only, right? Or are 3rd gen TID\SIDs also generated by a Mersenne Twister (I haven't checked to see if there's Mersenne Twister table stored in memory).

I never had any problem running a Japanese Ruby file on an English Sapphire game on VBA\flashcart. I can't remember if I tried it with GBA Backup loader, but I don't see why I couldn't.

The only thing we can really do about Faraway Mew at this point is to find this save file DannyB01 mentioned and use RNG manipulation to get a shiny to appear.

The Ageto disc has two ways of transferring Celebi: directly to the GC save and directly to the GBA cartridge. The direct-to-GC method doesn't use any checksum, because I get different Celebis even with the same save file. The direct-to-GBA method I can't test without a Japanese Ruby\Sapphire cart, and so far no one I know has managed to modify the ISO so it can communicate with US GBA games. Though I have been able to modify it to send the Celebi to US Colosseum saves.

Yeah, it would.
