    Thanks for sharing, Ringo. That's definitely an oversight on their part and would need to be taken up with them, but good luck. I think they have a thread on project pokemon if you want to post your experience there and the results from Pokecheck. Nice trophies, though. I have a HoO Arceus myself so I understand wanting to have an unobtainable trophy. :-)

    I will consider bringing it to their attention... But do you have any clue on what I am doing wrong when I try to share my legality anyalsis with you?

    One of these days I will get around to my HoO Arceus too. It is rather sad to me that they never released the flute legitematly. My next Gen IV project though I think will be a shiny Manaphy. Sticking to my Gen III Legends, and some more Dream World Pokemon for now though.

    Too hot to be outside... Got to work on my Dream World RNG's on my Black. Still have a few left to do, but here's the first five. I have way too many waiting on my White, so getting to work on White next.

    • My Latest RNG Abuse. I borrowed my brother's friend's Japanese Black 2 for this.

    I really wanted to do this in a Dive Ball, but I really didn't want to go to Undella to buy them so I just settled haha. I suppose I'm pretty lucky my used game came with an unused Liberty Ticket > 3<

    And Mac, I thought you had some foreign games?

    I have successfully RNG'ed standard seed mons before, but could someone help me with this one?
    I'm attempting to RNG an Excadrill on White. On the Time Finder Settings I've chosen Standard Seed > Cave Spot Pokémon and got my Seed.
    On the main window, PIDRNG > Wild Pokémon (Cave Spot), and found my results.

    Now, how should I generate the dust clouds? Should I chatot-advance up to my desired result, and try to get the cloud to appear in less than 20 steps?
    Please tell me if I did anything wrong.

    Any help is appreciated

    • Two questions. 1. Will most of the RNG tips apply to non shinies. I dont need shinies I just wanted flawless ones? 2. How do i set up a profile?

    Yes, RNG can work for non-shiny too. And just open the RNG Reporter profiles and enter your information and hit save. :3

    • Regards to my 3ds why is that delay so important to note? I know that it delays and the time sounds correct. Just want to know why its important.

    Do you guys prefer to RNG for shiny or non-shiny Pokémon?

    I personally prefer non-shiny. First off it's a lot easier and takes much less time, but also because having too many shinies seems kind of boring haha. I prefer for my shiny Pokémon to be more random/chance like they were designed to be, but whenever I'm training a competitive team I ensure to RNG the lot of them.

    • Adrian: In RNG it is crucially important to hit your seed (game launch time w/ other parameters involved) at a specific time down to the second. 3DS games have a bit different launch time than a DS Lite, which is commonly used for RNG purposes. 3DS launch time is roughly 8 seconds, as opposed to 1. Plus, there is no clock with a second hand on the 3DS display, so you have to rely on other means such as eon/zomgtimer for synchronization with an external clock.

    Needless to say, in my personal opinion, there is less to worry about when RNG'ing on a Lite.

    • There's only 2 reasons why I'd rng shiny stuff... and that's because it's easy to tell when you've gotten it right and it's got really nice colors. Otherwise I like to rng non-shiny because shiny is everywhere now and just doesn't appeal to me. And I like to avoid disasters like Hariyama.

    For me it matters on the Pokemon. If I like its shiny, I do shiny, otherwise I do non-shiny. :x

    • Like Mac, I'd only want a shiny if it were one of my favorites (Beldum). Otherwise too many ruins the fun of having a shiny. D:

    • Congrats Ooka :D I look foward to seeing more > 3<

    In regards the current topic, I usually do Shiny because my goal is to just breed everything I can Shiny at least once. Then after that I'll just breed whatever o 3o
