Hi all,
I've been playing through pokemon emerald (the Trashman version on an emulator) and have been using the RNG Method 1 (see link below)
to try to get a latias with good IVs. The csv file which lists the outcome for each frame contains the following data:
Frame Time Nature IVs
3424 0:57.06 Timid 25 30 23 3 23 29
3425 0:57.08 Mild 29 3 23 15 7 21

The Latias I ended up getting had a timid nature and its IVs were 25/30/23/15/7/21. Notice that the first half comes from frame 3424 and the second half from 3425.
Other times, however, I seem to get exactly the spread specified on a given frame so I'm not exactly sure what the situation is.
Is this 'frame combining' a weird consequence of the Emerald RNG or perhaps the version of emerald I am using? Or does the spreadsheet for the csv file need shifting down a row?
Sadly I lack the technical expertise to understand exactly how the RNG works, but it would be great if someone who does would take a look at this. I'm happy to help any way I can.
Many thanks,
Luke
PS: In general, the Smogon RNG articles are very clearly written and helpful, so big thanks to the authors!
