Alright so I've started on all this today and I'm struggling to find accurate seeds in PPRNG for Mac. I know they're inaccurate because I try them several times over with the same result.
Is there something I should look for specifically that tells me it's on the right track or am I just really unlucky?

Also what do the Grass/Cave/Surf/Spot numbers represent and do I need to worry about them?

hey Gonz0, I am sorry to be bothering you with this again, but I cannot seem to find the option to change the Virtual router manager from WPA2 to WEP.
Would you by any chance know how this is done?

Hi, I just recently started RNGing on my Black 2. I managed to find a seed which will get me a flawless shiny, but my problem is I can't get the time, date, timer0, vcount, and vframe values needed to hit this seed. Is there any way to find these? Using PPRNG BTW. Thanks in advance.

Ok thanks. Oh, Is it possible to RNG genderless stationary legends via Cute Charm method?
No, you cannot RNG genderless pokemons with Cute Charm Method. If it is possible, i suggest you try to go with Synchronise method only. For me, the cute charm method does not work for some reasons.

Never mind I figured it out. :)

EDIT!!

Alright so now that I have this mostly figured out, is there any way to reduce the time I wait searching for seeds? It seems to take forever!
The time it takes to find a seed depends on what you're searching for. The more specific the seed you're looking for, the longer it'll take usually. If you're searching for a shiny flawless capture for example, it could take days to find a seed. D: On the other hand, if you're using flawless international parents for breeding and search for a shiny flawless seed, you should find plenty of seeds easily. All depends on what you're going for.
