Uh, you can do whatever the seed says? I'm not totally sure what you're asking though. :(

It gives you a time to start the game. You need to do it at that time. :)

Depends on your DS model. If you are using a DS Phat or Lite, you start one second early, ie. 16:49. Likewise, for a 3DS you would start at either 16:42 or 16:43. I'm not very knowledgeable about the 3DS delay, but I heard it varies between 7 ad 8 seconds. I dunno about DSi though.

Also 16:50 is different from 4:50. 16:50 is 4:50pm, not am.

I have a 3DS I know its 8 seconds.

Also 16:50 is different from 4:50. 16:50 is 4:50pm, not am.

I am aware of that if you read my last post

OK seems like there's some confusion here. For example, your seed is 16:50:50. You'd start the game on your 3DS at 16:50:42 to account for your eight second delay.

Yes?

Use eontimer's custom clock. Set it to 42000 -- that'll be 42 seconds. Start it when you change the time. I did this on my DSi when I had it and it worked OK.

Not sure if this is the most recent version or not, but you can go here to download it. It's the Eontimer that Mac was just talking about.

I've never used it myself as I mostly stick to Gen V RNG on a DS Lite so I can't help you with that though it's mostly just an external clock. Though if you already downloaded and can't find what Mac was talking about I can't really help you there, sorry >.<

Yes, Chatots are a requirement, unless you rather save your game hundreds of times instead. For setting up for eggs, here's Step 1 from TwilightBlade's guide:

step 1
— Gather good/flawless daycare parents and an Everstone. Know IVs of parents.
— Give Everstone to the parent with a desirable natue. Do NOT give Power Items to the parents. Deposit them into the Daycare and ride around on your bike until they produce an egg.
— Have a party of 5 or less Pokémon, including helpful Pokémon: Chattering Chatot, Quick Egg Hatcher, Flier. Optional: Sweet Scenter.
— Save your game directly in front of the Day-Care Old Man.
— Open the RNG Reporter.
— Click the Time Finder button.

SO I finally managed to get one of my Jirachi:

Jirachi
1.png
(lvl 50)

016.png

Nature: Careful || Ability: Serene Grace || OT: デコロラ (07013)
IVs: 31/31/31/31/31/31
Healing Wish|Psychic|Swift|Meteor Mash

I was too lazy to hit any keypresses, but when I found starting frame 45 and my target frame 46 with just one keypress, I decided to make the effort of holding a button, lmao.

I also RNGed the 1st prize in NecrumWarrior's tourney:

Victini

(lvl 15)

007.png

Nature: Timid || Ability: Victory Star || OT: ♠ゴンゾ♠ (00001)
IVs: 31/2/30/31/31/31 [HP Ice 70]
Confusion|Searing Shot|Quick Attack|Endure

In this abuse, laziness took a dent on me again - two keypresses, starting frame = target frame.

TOO MUCH EFFORT, GOD! I'M SO EXHAUSTED INSANE, lol.

Nice work, Gonzo. I need to get on some RNG abuses but I understand the lazy bit. xD

I needed a Ditto and I didn't want to import, so I caught one in Giant Chasm. Had to remember how to get rid of the fog. ;-; Then I bred this Rotom. :D
