I think I figured it out... I think I discovered my problem.... I like RNGing sure, but doing nothing but.... Even going through the story with RNGed pokemon.... it sickens me. I hate it. So when I open a new thread, or merge with Blade or somethin like that... I willl probably only take non RNG'd shinies and events for a while... The elitism is kinda gross.

So you don't like that we don't want Pokemon that don't have good IVs, nature, and abilities? You want us to select crappy Pokemon to receive for our 'perfect' Pokemon? And that's elitism? Fine, we're elitists then if that's your definition... I know I do and Blade accept Pokemon that are not 'up to par' to what we have in our thread in the interests of sharing our abilities with others... is that elitism? I think not.

Honestly though, I love to help people out... I help people out all the time. I've been tutoring Alex on RNGing... we all helped Tom (TheGr8) shiny abuse. It's a community effort... and people need to get involved with said community. EmbC came in the chat room and he had rnged on his DSi. And you know what was done?? We put that EmbC is our Hero in the topic. How is that elitist and non-welcoming? We want to help... we just need people to come in chat and ask for it. It's there for EVERYONE... not just the so-called elitists... Just need people to click a link and talk to us... we give out free stuff all the time... just need to show effort.

My two cents.

:( Are you suggesting that we have shifted the game to largely competitive flawless and ostracized casual players? I'd like to believe that PC has one of the more friendly and accepting trade communities. Casuals are welcome. I still trade with them even if I know I'm not getting much in return Pokemon-wise. I'm essentially trading to be trading. :P

If it takes partnering with you to keep you around, I'm game. Your shinies and events + my flawless = triple threat. It will definitely be interesting and should renew sparks. :')

edit: You guys can organize community events etc and just have to run them by me/twisted, you know that right? We... can't really run them beucase we have enough on our plate. XD

I agree with Blade. I think we're a pretty open trade community. I'd love to trade with people who breed their own Pokemon, RNGed or not.

I think we should go find Kip and have another egg swap so we can find new traders to join us and have some fun. :D

Back in the days of '10 when I ran some popular threads. Now it's all gone; no good Pokemon, no one remembers me for my work. When I officially return in June, I will make an awesome trade thread.

Ideas for it?
Oh pfft! As soon as I logged in, I was delighted to see Raichupacabra posting here. I remember you and your events. :)
A little innovation in thread title, design, and presentation can go a long way.. June is a long way away, lol. :O

I may come sooner like around Winter Break but with much school work I can't stay on here as much as I would like.

If I can arrange a schedule I could show up on the weekends.

I came out of that vastly offended. But maybe that is due to not saying everything I was thinking. I meant on what we are offering. Whenever I do get back into trading, I am gonna get off my lazy bum and put up the things I RNG'd on Diamond too. Back when I couldn't give a darn about IVs. As well as my events, some of which were RNG'd (But not by me. XD I don't have the time for that) But yeah. I was just talking on me. Not all of you.

Just know I did bash my head against the nearest wall for being such a retard. Though... I am gonna need some help legit checking all of my events. There is a fair share I am unsure of.

I still remember you! June is a long ways away. :/
I'm just glad you're coming back at all. :D



I'm not quitting like I thought I was. :P
I can still RNG on my Black and on my Plat.
Someone should make a guide on RNG Captures for Gen 4?

Not wanting to start any drama or anything, but I'm backing up a friend.

Just because it's not RNG'd, it's crappy? Son, I've been breeding the hard way before you were even a noob here. You are in no position to pass that kind of judgement, sorry. I'd really be careful where you go with that.

Guys, we just have a huge misunderstanding here. There is absolutely no reason to belittle nor offend one another. We all put forth equal effort in this game. We trade for those who also dedicate their time to this game. Do not create a "us vs them" scenario because in reality, we are all collectively working hard on owning good Pokemon. Good is subjective to the individual trader. Kirozane was just saying how she was growing bored of the series because her playtime revolved around RNG abused Pokemon. ^^

@assassinjay1229: There is a CSS guide in the works, but you can always draw inspiration from other trade threads. Sometimes simple layouts can be as impressive as heavily CSS layouts. Take some of my old threads for example.

I emphasized the big point. It is this exactly! It's hard to pick up your game when it's only "Oh I am gonna RNG this" or "Oh I have to EV that." It just kills the fun and I doubt you'll realize how a good a BREAK from all that monotony is until you take one. So I have just been taking a break from it and would like to stay away from the fruits of its branches just a wee bit longer as well.

So no more fightin. I didn't speak my mind fully so I had that comin but still

You have to admit, this is pretty cool.

So cool that I was so fed up with hitting my wrong timer0 many(!) times (233 chatters each time x 5 fails = gah) that instead, I started checking what timer0 I hit . I did 10 chatters each time to figure out if I'm hitting 'highly curious of my wrong timer0, C7f' or 'flawless characteristic of my right timer0, C80'.

There is a particular pattern of low pitch, normal pitch, and high pitch custom chatter cry (well, I can distinguish at least 3 different pitches). OmegaDonut is researching this but it's not high priority, iirc. Recognizing this pattern prevented me from wasting my time doing chatters for my wrong seed. Here's my example:

1. Chatot's custom chatters are me just blowing air into the DS microphone. I recommend doing this too.
2. Get 2 Chatot to flip back and forth in party. Flip back and forth and compare custom cries..
3. You'll soon realize that the cry does not always sound the same. Sometimes its low, sometimes its high, and sometimes it is average. The difference is very obvious. You shouldn't have to second-guess it. Hence, how I'm getting a particular pattern.
4. I would hit my second, do keypresses, enter game world, pause, and do 10 Chatters. I'd write down their pattern of low, high, normal pitch cry.

Normal: -
High:
Low:

Trial 1: - ↑ - ↑ - - - - - ↓ :: catch Pokemon, "highly curious" missed seed
Trial 2: - ↑ - ↑ - - - - - ↓ :: catch Pokemon, "highly curious" same
Trial 3: ↑ ↑ - ↓↑ - - ↓↑ - :: catch Pokemon "alert to sounds" (checked that it was flawless) but I SR'd anyways to test what I'm doing
Trial 4: ↑ ↑ - ↓↑ - - ↓↑ - :: confirmed flawless seed, proceed to do the remaining 223 chatters right now. shiny flawless.

Hopefully that makes sense / you can see arrows / you can extrapolate and find a cry pattern for a seed you use a lot. It's gonna be different Chatter patterns if. 1 wandering NPCs and 2. obviously a different seed :)

Think Elm Calls(hgss) and Coin flips(dppt)!

What is RNG why are people fighting over this!? O.O
The fight is over, so you should not bring it up anymore. Lol.


RNG is basically manipulating your game to get perfect/shiny Pokemon legit.

I'm bad at explaining these things. :P
