Heya,
So I was stalking your profile to see if you were online (:3) and read that VV Down there by SS!
So I'm just gonna copy and paste this to his profile too, but:
The dead internal battery on R/S works like Emerald's RNG, because the regular RNG is based on the timing - when the timing messes up, the RNG "breaks" too. This basically means that is is totally possible to get shinies by SR, but whatever way you look at it it
is RNG abuse, since you have to reset your file until you have an Early Shiny Frame. It means that you could Soft Reset forever and ever on a file and never get a shiny.
However, there is the possibility to get RE shinies that aren't RNG clones, but people count it as RNG abuse anyway since you have to know the timing awfully similarly to RNGing.
Yeah.
I hope I helped (and that you could understand

) XD
