Need clarification from big brains:I am trying to do full odds random encounter shiny hunting in emerald without rng manipulation. From what I understand emerald seeds are broken so if I boot up the save, farm for a few hours, close game, then do the same the next day the seed will be the same. So there is a good chance I'll just find clones right? Since the seed never changes. I read that you can interact with lilycove museum to change the seed. So can I just interact with that painting every time I start the game and then go to my shiny hunt location to have a fresh rng seed each time I play the way it works in other games (assuming battery not dead in those games)?
Bump
>>58292803Just play the game. Broken RNG is not really an issue with random encounters because it's unlikely that you'll get encounters at the exact same times as in your previous sessions and you have a chance of getting an encounter on a shiny frame.
>>58293165Thats what I've been doing and I'm on phase 14 and I just want to be 100% sure I'm not fucking myself so I just wanted clarification
>>58292803To answer your questions:Yes, the initial seed is the same on every reboot in emerald.On random encounters, it isn't really a problem because the seed changes every frame. So you'd have to consistently be entering/exiting battle frame perfectly, within 1/60th of a second.However for legendaries that goes out the window. Since you'd just be resetting, then spamming "A" to enter battle, you'd be seeing the same ~10 generated legendaries each time.With regards to lilycove, yes that changes you initial seed. However it changes it to the number of frames the game has been on. So if you spam "A" to see the painting, you'd end up putting yourself on the same few seeds each time.So for shiny hunting random encounters, go off, not a problem. If you want legendaries, either shiny hunt on R/S with a good battery, or RNG manip if you want to hunt on emerald.
>>58293310So basically just wait an extra second each time I use the painting to get a unique seed each time
>>58293431Yup
>>58293500Thank you so much anon!
>>58293510You bet, and best of luck!
>>58293310Emerald respawns legendaries you run away from so you can just do encounters that wayIt's a little more involved than resetting on RS but still quickI've personally hunted Rayquaza, Mew, Deoxys, and Latios this way so I can guarantee it works
