For Emerald egg calibration.

Examples:
https://www.freewebs.com/gatorshark/Spinda%20Painter.htm
https://github.com/odanado/Spinda-Painter

Little simple bug but with PokeFinder, when you target an egg's frame, both step generation frame + retrive frame are wrong of a few frames. Could be linked to some calibration not present in PokeFinder.

No issue with RNG Reporter about that.

Adding an option to check a box and specify a Target Pokemon & Level and convert IV spreads to In-Game stat values would be very useful in Gen 3 \ XDColo on retail.

We do a lot of checking Pokemon across attempts to hit seeds, and having to calculate IVs to stats every time adds a lot of time to each run trying to hit a seed.

Obviously an enhancement and "nice to have" but I thought I'd add it here since I think Fish has mentioned it before.

• Emerald

• Fire Red/Leaf Green

• Ruby/Sapphire

• Box Eggs

RNGing a matching PID results in seemingly random IVs inconsistent with the results of PokéFinder.

One of the missing functionalities of the current PokeFinder in comparison to the RNG Reporter is the option to search for Hidden Power IVs. Basically, RNG Reporter has an option to look for IVs that give 70 BP Hidden Powers.

HP Even is 4x+2 IV (2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30) while HP Odd is 4x + 3 (3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31).

Doesn't apply to gen 6 and above because HP power isn't determined by IV anymore. Might still be useful to have an even or odd detector for getting certain HP types, but idk.

Edit: Also perhaps a toggle for 0 IVs, but that's not as big a problem, I guess. In fact, the best solution might be able to be the capacity to search for IVs that give a certain HP power. (The ability to search from 30-70)

Add Headbutt Pokémon for Pokemon HGSS on Pokefinder

When RNG abusing we found that the IVs of the target pokemon matched those in the generator, so it appears the search results of the Egg IV page were incorrect.

Here is the with the settings we used:

And by copying the seed, you can check frame 3 and show that the values don't match:

So after one hour of brain melting. Here's some stuff i've found and that need to be fixed.

On this test i'm targeting a Shiny Lumineon (Encounter Slot 1) on Frame 9. WITH Suction Cups.

I've used RNG Reporter for that. after failing hard with PokeFinder. I searched a Non lead spread, and got my Shiny on Frame 9 WITH Suction Cups. But we know that's also broken.

^The proof of the struggle.

SO. I compared with PokeFinder results. Since you fixed Lead, i did the research with the GOOD lead. And here's the result :

As you can see the PID is set to the frame AFTER aand you can see a difference on every frame.

So. I got it to work on RNG Reporter with ignoring the lead fact ALMOST matching PokeFinder's result even if there's one frame difference.

An offset or idk, but i just want to rest now.

When using the searching Tab Safari zone encounters do not filter to the respective zones

As expected on the generator tab

• Diamond/Pearl/Platinum
• Heart Gold/Soul Silver

The PokeFinder lacks two tools that RNG Reporters have:

1. A button to swap the IV between Parent A and B (so that you could potentially find faster frames, in case the IVs of parents aren't identical)

2. Option to show the inheritance of Parent IVs (for example, IV could be shown as x/A/x/B/B/x to show that the Attack IV of Parent A, and Special Attack, Special Defense of Parent B will be inherited)

This suggestion is mostly written under the assumption for gen 3, but might apply to later gens. (I'm not sure as I haven't RNG manipulated in all gens) I do know for a fact that the 3DSRNGTool also has the second tool, however.

Some way to save seeds that correspond to profiles or IDs/SIDs. Would save time searching if forget or lose seed. Very handy for ID/SID RNGing for specific PIDs.

No rush for this, just an idea :)

So I found that The Searcher is a bit buggy. Idk if it's only for Mt. Coronet (tried it there).
So I wanted to find a shiny Bronzong in "Mt. Coronet Top Cave" with Timid nature and 31 Speed.

In the following image the marked one is correct except for the lvl which should be 42 and not 40 (found that with RNG Reporter) but the 3 above are not listed in RNG Reporter. The one on Frame 7 is a Machoke for example.

Something like Eon Timer incorporated into the tool would be neat just so it covers all the bases.

These are just a few (hopefully) simple improvements that could be made I thought of while having my friend walk my through using the new Gen 4 tools:

• Show a down pointing arrow (▼) to the right side of select inputs to indicate that it will open a menu
• Increase padding on tab text
  
• Increase seed column in Egg Searcher so that they are wide enough for the containing text
  
• Double click cells in a table to copy text
• Alternatively, double clicking a seed could open a new dialog to select a tool for the current gen, for example:
  1. Use Gen 4 Egg tool to search for a seed with Egg IVs
  2. Double click a Seed cell
  3. Pop up to select either Stationary, Wild, Egg, or Seed to Time tools
  4. Use selects Seed to Time
  5. Since the profile already has the game, the Seed to Time window is opened with the seed entered

I ran these ideas past my friend that wants to use the tool and they said that some of these changes might be handy in general use.
Thank you for the tool! I like how clean it looks and it is overall super simple to use! :)

add safari zone for Pokemon HGSS plz on pokefinder

How to reproduce:

In the Gen 4 wild encounter tab for DPPt I tried to run the search with these inputs:

• Method J
• Wayward Cave (Secret)
• Morning
• Gible
• Grass
• Cute Charm
• 00200
• 00197

IVs: all 31

Gender: F
Hasty
5,8,10
/
Gender Ratio: 50/50
Delay: 400 - 6000
Frame: 1 - 400

Then after hitting the search button 6 results pop up, but also the system message "PokeFinder has stopped working".

If I limit the search to a more restrictive max delay such as 3000, everything works fine.

The target searched frame appears to be 900 for seed 390F02B8 in the Searcher,

When seed 390F02B8 is pasted into the seed box of the Generator frame 900 is not the same as displayed in the Searcher. However, frame 899 in the Generator is the same as frame 900 in the Searcher.

title, they were correct in gen 4, even in your fork.

the program crashes if I'm trying to look for more than 1 billion results. I noticed this doesn't happen with RNGReporter, but in pokefinder, it just closes when I look for somewhere more than 1 billion.

Figure out how to use https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt with appveyor

Or something like flatpak

Looks like XD/Colo Searcher is not giving the right PID for the seed.

And to be clear, the generator does give the right result.

PLZ

Just a list of things that should be done before considering a final gen 3 release.

• Encounter Tables

• Encounter Slot filtering

• Finalize CSS for existing forms

• Add lead types to wild3

• Display more profile info in the upper area

• Right click menu on tableview

• Progress bars for search

• Sorting for searching tableview

• 16-Bit Seed to Time

• PID to IVs

• IVs to PID

• Pokespot

• Channel Jirachi Probable Generation

• RTC calculator for GameCube Games

So first, the links as I told you :
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonrng/comments/2cfxsq/bug_catching_contest_gen_4_rng/
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonrng/comments/3ef7c0/bug_catching_contest_rng_without_cute_charm/

And an example of somebody trying without any results :
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/past-gen-rng-research.61090/page-13#post-2987503

Was not able to find something else sadly. Nothing on main guides etc, really something missing.

In RNGReporter, it's known that frames are not displayed correctly. The 4th Gen Time Finder says nothing about this, but when you generate results on the main frame :

A warning is here about this, but of course, NO FRAME are bold when you check (0 bold in 100k of results). So really there's something wrong about these methods.

Because the goal of this would be to AVOID Cute Charm which can be difficult to do (in my game for example, i don't have access to this)

And moreover, having the possibility to display GOOD frames would be cool.

For ending, I can tell you my own experience : I've searched for a SHiny adamant Scyther. It was frame 86. I hit the seed correctly of course, I up it to the right frame... And got a pokemon at a frame around 175 higher than excepted.

Thanks o/

This is just a placeholder for the idea of a command line tool. I'm lazy and don't like gui crap.

Chain shiny search method does not appear for HGSS, while the PokeRadar does not exist in these games, Red Gyarados actually uses this method for generation. I think allowing it to be selected in HGSS should be enabled, or even just name the category "red gyarados" since it's the only Pokemon in HGSS to use this generation method, as right now we'd have to make a fake DPP profile to search for a spread

Can PokeFinder be updated to support square shinies in Gen 8?

This is a very nice single-header library which provides testing functionality. It's well-documented as well.

I set up packages to install PokeFinder from the AUR. There are two packages:

• pokefinder: installs the binary files provided in the Github release section
• pokefinder-git: builds the most recent git commit and installs the resulting binary

Feel free to add links to packages to the README, or ask me to draft a PR to include some information how to install them on Arch Linux.

Thank you for your work, it's nice having a cross-platform RNG framework that does it's job well :)

Make sure translation changes are applied to the develop branch as it has the most up to date code.

^the screen of the issue i've stated in the discord

Hey admiral, I've been trying to make the linux version on Ubuntu 18.04 with no success. Made sure to enable the "running as executable" property, but nothing changed.
How is it supposed to be run? I've checked the repo but I couldn't find any readme or helper that mentioned the Linux version.

Thanks.

1. CSV exporting for the Gen 4 Egg Generator and Researcher page. (Added)
2. A "Search Calls" function for the Gen 4 Wild and Egg pages - Basically the same one from "Seed to Time" except you can filter the range of the search
3. For Cherrygrove City, the fishing encounters for Good Rod/Super Rod at night are incorrect. Corsola cannot be caught at night; it's encounter should be replaced by Staryu. (Added)
4. Replace the male and female symbols to be M and F respectively when exporting the data. The non-ASCII characters currently used are interpreted as "?" to Excel.
5. A check box on the time finder page that says something to the effect of "Parents in day daycare" which is the equivalence of having 2 roamers. Changed to: modify the call searcher to work based on longest matching substring instead of total string. (Added)
6. Increase the number of coin flips displayed as sometimes even 15 flips isn't enough to get only 1 result. (Added)
7. Stupid proofing - if the user searches for a specific gender with the ratio set to genderless Pokefinder will run the search but there will be no results.
8. Routes are not listed in ascending order properly. Example: Routes 5-9 are listed after route 48. This can be fixed by adding 0's to the start of each number.
   9. Restore gen 4 wild occidentary since it's useful for Pokerus/Item rng. Moved to #129
9. Search for two-three potential targets x number of frames appart. Useful for doing all the dog/birbs at the same time.
10. CSV/TXT exporting for the Gen 4 Seed to Time page.
11. A option in profiles to set if they hit even or odd seeds.

Repost from RNGReporter since you approved it :

A way to have a little menu for putting all TID / SID along with the correct game. This way when loading the right generation RNG, a list with TID / SID available could be present in the tool (like profiles with Gen 5 in RNG Reporter) and people would just have choose their games.

And on the main windows (if similar to RNG Reporter), a list with ALL games, no generation specific.

Thanks o/

Searcher is wrong for Encounter Slots, must follow Generator.
Couldn't find the commit but fixed in Bambo's Ranbom RNG Reporter fork : https://github.com/Bambo-Rambo/RNGReporter/commits/master

• IVs to PID (Should be done already)
• Seed to Time

Might be cool to eventually add.

I'm trying to use the Spinda Painter to help me with Emerald Egg RNG.
Apparently, when decoding the PID from position of its spots, the 8 nibbles that make up the full PID are ordered exactly the wrong way around.

Steps to reproduce:

• enter Emerald egg RNG tool
• select method PID
• set calibration to 19
• set redraws to min 0/max 0
• generate frame 4691
• note down PID of 44cf67e8

and now, try to match a Spinda generated on this frame:

• open Spinda painter
• enter spots like this:
  
• compare to spots generated on cartridge (language is german):
  
• note that now the PID is 8e76fc44

I think these two lines are wrong:

they should be something like

 pid |= (left << (i * 8 + 0)); 
 pid |= (right << (i * 8 + 4)); 

Currently Seed to Time and Egg display different results for their Elm/Irwin calls. Seed to time has the correct call information, and Egg is incorrect.
This issue persists as of commit aff6703a75cbd2bf8d34fe7825a4015429d76e72; but does not exist in former release 2.4.2.

Hi, is there a way to generate RNG for starter Pokémon with this tool?
