So once it opens, go to page 2 then 1, then close, you should be good. If you're still at 13, let me know.

You can PM it to me, if you would like.
Oh how I do look forward to this if it is indeed accurate.
Ok, when I made my video, I set it to 1/1/66 to achieve a delay of 621, which is my most commonly hit delay. This is because setting it ahead a year reduces delay by 1. You should know how long it takes you to load your game from the calibration phase. You set your time to a time prior to your target (in your case, probably 11:59:00). If it takes you 14 seconds to load your game, load your game and reset at 12:00:11. However, make sure this seed has a delay that you commonly hit. That's the idea behind year manipulation. And to hit your seed, you need only to hit continue at the target time and hit your delay. It doesn't matter what you set your clock to beforehand, although it is obviously advantageous to set the clock to something somewhat close to your target.
I hope this helped. Ask if you're confused.
No, actually, this helped a lot. I have been setting my clock to 11:59, and SRing at 12:00:11, but I guess my delay isn't consistant yet. I didn't realize it made that big of a deal of your delay was off by a bit. So I guess I'll recalibrate and get a more consistant delay. If I hit it, the coin toss should work, correct?
Also, if the diary opens as soon as I start the game, and it's on a page with a caught/defeated entry, does that already advance my game 2 frames?
Delay is just as important as seconds. Without it, you will NOT hit your seed. As you said, calibrating more sounds like a good idea. When you nail your seconds and delay, you will land on your correct seed, which will yield the coin tosses you're looking for.
If the journal opens on a caught/defeated pokemon, then yes, it counts as a flip, thus advancing the frame by 2.
Last question before I get to calibrating, does the journal delay your delay, if you know what I mean. I found my second lag to be 14 seconds, but the journal stays open until about 16, does the RNG already begin at 14 even though the journal's up? I would assume it does, but just checking,
No it doesn't. The delay is decided when you hit continue.
All the answers I had are nice and dandy, but I have had no conclusive answer yet. Somebody must use this right?
I'm not sure if I understand your question. Could you give me your search criteria you used to find this target? I could probably answer your question definatively then.
Some people might find these charts useful. I will update the encounter section with them:

I tried doing the shiny hatch on my platinum and the first time I tried the shiny hatch it didn't work and the second time it didn't work, but I couldn't have messed up on the app part! My double taps was 4 and my coin flips were 3. Could you tell me what I could try to do to make the shiny hatch work?
Well, that works actually, since my target was 607, but I was using 14 seconds. I'll try it with 13 and see what happens. :)
EDIT: last question. Under the time finder it say the frame is 490, but under the main reporter, it says 507. Which should I be using?
Wait, are you going after legends? If you are, there are two methods for generating legendary spreads: Method 1 and J. If you're doing non roamers, you do method J. If you are, you do Method 1. Find out what window corresponds to what method and use that frame.
It's 490, I forgot to change the main reporter page to Method J.
So, 490 - 1(Dialga) - 2(Cresselia & Mesprit) = 487.
5 Pokemon in party + 128 steps = 482.
482/2 = 291 Diary flips.
Correct? And when you open the diary, if the page has a defeated/caught Pokemon it opens up to, that counts as a flip, right?

You did some bad math while dividing by 2. It should be 241, not 291. As far the rest of the post is concerned, it's correct.
Depends on how close the spread is to your usual delay. Like for me, if I go after 621/620, it usually only takes me up to three tries. However, when I went after 661 once, it took me about 30 minutes to hit. It all depends on your comfort level.
