  1. Heh, I want to bring this topic back up since I also have concerns with legal PIDs for shinies.

    Kazumi, I'm curious, how did you generate so many legal PIDs? Did you utilize the same method Sabresite used?

    Also, after browsing through Smogon's PRNG research and "abuse" thread, I'm beginning to question whether or not the catch date should be changed to suit the legality of the Pokemon. Please correct me on this if I'm wrong, since I barely have the time to read through the entire article.

    Personally, I'm just finding ways to make a PID for a shiny Rotom for use in competitive WiFi battles (and for showing off). However, I want to guarantee that the Rotom is absolutely legal, to avoid speculation during battles.

  2. They can't argue against you, it's legit. There are some already known PIDs that generate perfect IVs, just different natures.

    I believe if the Nintendo guys notice that all large portion of your Pokemon's IVs are completely perfect, it's obviously skeptical. However, some guys manage to breed extremely near-perfect Pokemon and trade them at some sites, notably Smogon.

  3. Location has nothing to do with the PID<->IV.

    Just to clarify, when I said location, I believe I meant "Type" (i.e. Normal GBA, Ultra Rare GBA, Normal D/P, etc.). Will this sort of specification lead to more time in processing the PID? (Wow, a Quad Core, too much money!)

    Again, I may still be wrong with the "type" being a part of the PID. Correct me again if I'm wrong; I ran through the PID<->IV generator and it gave that "type" information along with the PID.

  4. Erm, not necessarily. The metagame nowadays is mainly focused on speed, perfect for the offensive player. I know there's some articles around on the web on what offensive teams are capable of.

    Anyhow, just do some research, look around. Are some Pokemon combinations ideal? Could they fend off a Salamence? Could it outspeed "this threat"? Destroy your opponent along with Stealth Rock? Block Stealth Rock itself? Consider everything! You will make a decent team if you just think about the basics such as typing and threat countering. It's obviously ignorant and unintelligent to group a random bunch of Pokemon together and call it a team.

  5. Will it be also possible to generate a legit PID from a set of given IVs, shininess, nature, and capture location (Normal D/P, Normal GBA, etc)?

    ...and perhaps much faster than the IV -> PID generator by SCV (no offense SCV)? Yeah, I'm kinda asking a lot O_O

    I really dislike the restrictions in Pokesav's PID generator. =/
