    Rules:
    - Mentors will choose their mentees. If a mentee isn't chosen within a week, the mentee will be assigned by a moderator or [supporter]Gonz0[/supporter] (as he runs the program).
    - Don't be rude, should be obvious.

    (I'd edit the CSS but this CSS is ... quite difficult to edit)

    I think this is a great idea by the way guys :D

    -Ok so as an update, I've read through a few guides and watched a couple tutorials on YouTube, but still haven't been successful. I've been attempting to RNG in SoulSilver using the Smogon guide for Gen IV, but am stuck at the whole hitting seed/frame advancement. I understand concepts, but I know I'm doing something completely stupid because this last time I tried, I ended up needing to advance 841 frames. I knew something was wrong, but I attempted it anyway and after finally hitting my seed I lost count at 4xx. If anyone could lend a hand, it would be extremely appreciated, thanks.

    From the trade room chat I was advised to come here. I was thinking of watching videos to learn the Art of RNG but I feel asking from professionals would be a good step to take. My times of availability are very good so hopefully ill be chosen soon to be a mentee.

    Field of RNG: Never done it, but I have patience to learn the ropes. I would honestly like to start from where the mentor would feel would be the first thing to try out on doing RNG

    P.S. - Black 2 Status: Beaten the game. I'm currently going Pokédex hunting, filling up my Pokédex as much as possible before I begin any sort of EV/IV training

    I'm not a tutor, but I'll take care of this one. :3
     
    Snagging Greggy-boi for roamers (both gen) because I feel good enough to help with those two.
     
    UPDATE: I ordered a DS Lite which should arrive on Wednesday/Thursday to make it easier for whomever my mentor is, cuz I've been hearing that trying to RNG on a 3DS will be much harder than standard DS/DSis. Also RNG breeding was out of the question for 3DSs which is an extreme bummer

    From the trade room chat I was advised to come here. I was thinking of watching videos to learn the Art of RNG but I feel asking from professionals would be a good step to take. My times of availability are very good so hopefully ill be chosen soon to be a mentee.
