I'm hearing reports you can farm this with alt accounts 👀

This was the only reason for me to keep GO installed, so happy I checked what was going on with all the Shiny Genesect getting posted in my discord 🤣

"at the time of release" cope holding strong

Just a heads up for everyone, Niantic messed up earlier this week, and as compensation gave everyone 5 free Genesect in GO, that can be shiny. They can be claimed instantly from the "Road to Unova Timed Research." GO is the only way to get a Shiny Genesect with your OT. Had to dig up alt accounts.

I'm very excited to see more of Pokemon Champions, and Pokemon Legends Z-A. But it really stinks that there wasn't anything actually releasing soon. Would have been so easy to release Gens 1-3 on the Switch, available to download today. Instead its 9 more months of waiting.

This code is now live in E-Sh4rk's FRLG ACE code generator as "Start Fateful Mew Battle"! For you intrepid ACE-enabled explorers out there, I encourage you try it out yourself and let me know how it goes. e-sh4rk.github.io/CodeGenerato...

Just replayed it a few months ago using "The Lion War ReMixed" mod from ffhacktics. It was truly a 10/10 experience playing the original version, but with all the modern Quality of Life and extra bells and whistles.

What if someone hypothetically spent their entire Saturday making it possible to encounter Mew in Fire Red and Leaf Green, using real hardware, without a cheating device? Oh and that pesky "Fateful Encounter" flag that stops Mew from obeying? Yeah he's got that too.

This not crashing my game was the coolest thing that happened to me today. And I won't provide further context unless you ask really nice.

Gamers, I have a new vid out on how @tamahero.bsky.social and I played online in gen 3 together for co-op play, and how Jimothy Cool and I battled vs eachother. You can peep it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QewO... It's a pretty extensive tutorial, but feel free to ask any questions.

I've just released a new video covering a BRAND NEW method for using the Mail Glitch to build a competitive team in Fire Red and Leaf Green. It covers all the setup from Step 1, and fully explains how to use the spreadsheet I made to use it. It's consumed my life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jkc...

Shao saw this and corrected me on something. The progression actually goes: METHOD 1: [PID1] [PID2] [IV-1] [IV-2] {vBlank} METHOD 4: [PID1] [PID2] [IV-1] {vBlank} [IV-2] METHOD 2: [PID1] [PID2] {vBlank} [IV-1] [IV-2] METHOD 3: [PID1] {vBlank} [PID2] [IV-1] [IV-2] vBlank moves from right-to-left 😅

out here just straight up making game better

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. And thanks to Shao and Mucks for all their work studying this, and helping me understand. Any questions? :)

Another option, is using an Egg Lead. This actually cancels out all the Ability Checks, so this might also be a good option on a frame that's refusing to hit the Method you want. It really depends on how many of those "PID Rerolls" are happening, so its not 100%, but its worth a shot.

140

So what does this mean practically for RNG manips? Well you have control over what Lead Ability you use, and the largest impact is Synchronize. If you use a Lead Synchronizer matching the nature of your target, you'll likely get more potential frames to aim for AND potentially shift the Method.

Really large numbers of Re-rolls can even shift things in strange ways, we call Method 3. METHOD 3: [PID1] {vBLANK} [PID2] [IV-1] [IV-2] ...but splitting the PID changes Nature, so having this also match intended Nature is ULTRA RARE. You have to do crazy stuff to find them.

Pokefinder automatically shows the correct Nature, but can't account for the other calculations, so we have to manually select Method. These "PID Rerolls" are consistent, and often shift things in such a way that no matter what every encounter will give you the same method.

So why are frames "sticky?" You'd expect it to be more random right? Well there's one additional factor here, that is specific to each frame of the Wild RNG. The game has a particular Nature that it wants, and when the PID of the frame you land on doesn't match, it keeps rolling until it can.

Typically its the game searching for a PID with the Nature it wants, which can sometimes take very long. But even things like music tracks, screen wipes, player movement, etc... can push the vBlank one interval farther, and this gives us Method 4. METHOD 4: [PID1] [PID2] [IV-1] {vBLANK} [IV-2]

The extra checks usually cause a vBlank to line up in between the sequence of generating PID and IVs, creating Method 2. METHOD 2: [PID1] [PID2] {vBLANK} [IV-1] [IV-2] However, various random factors can also interfere.

So why does Emerald primarily give Wild Method 2, when RS and FRLG are more dominantly Wild Method 1? Well the new ability checks cause extra calculations during the Pokemon generation. Even if you aren't using a particular lead ability like Synchronize there's extra calculation going on.

However, if some other calculation is going on during this process, there can be a skip in this sequence if a "vBlank" happens at just the right time. A "Vertical Blank" is essentially the screen resetting, like for example, the transition between overworld and battle.

When the game is generating a Wild Pokemon, the PID and IVs are generated in chunks. When these chunks are all generated in sequence, you get Method 1. METHOD 1: [PID1] [PID2] [IV-1] [IV-2]

PapaJefe @papajefe.bsky.social · 31/10/2024

Ever wonder why Wild Pokemon in Gen 3 can have the same PID but different IVs? Maybe you've done some RNG manipulation and heard about Method 1, Method 4 etc... Well, I'll give a quick summary of why, and then give you some options to try and shift the Method of your frame.

good on you for making it through the whole thing, I checked out when they were talking about burying windmill blades.

Anyone can do this with Emerald glitches. I made a video on the ACE setup: youtu.be/45kwOEhKbUg Then used E-Sh4rk's awesome code generator: (e-sh4rk.github.io/CodeGenerato...) Custom Celebi Outbreak on Mirage Island Change PRNG Seed to manip a Timid 6IV Change SID to make that frame Shiny

Gen 3 Shiny Celebi is illegal and can't be sent forward to HOME... But I used glitches to get my Shiny Celebi from 3DS Virtual Console anyway... so why not use glitches to find it in Gen 3?
