    Early testing seems to point to the clock starting with 1440 minutes (1 day) already on the clock. Whether the clock restarts upon being reconnected to the battery or when the game is turned on is unknown at this point. Further testing is required.

    This is further supported by the fact that Fractal Fusion's seeds start on Dec 31 1999 rather than Jan 1 2000 on VBA if the year is past 2000.

    While the seed only changes once a minute it would be quite frustrating to miss it. Anyways it seems really odd the clock defaults to 1 day with no battery. Wonder if something else is at play here like something to prevent a seed of 0. Or v could be (1440 * (d +1)). Idk.

    Oh hey tape worked. I can easily switch between live and dry battery. This will be of great use as I can do dry for ID/SID and live for a Pokémon.

    Hm... looking at the formula it seems that for dry battery the clock is storing a days value of 1 and nothing else. 1440 is 5A0 in hex. 1440/65535 rounded down is 0, while 1440 mod 65535 is 1440. 1440 xor 0 is... 1440. Huh.

    Well currently the battery has been disconnected for quite some time now so... well yeah. Come to think of it knowing your RTC position to a far more precise value would help, and being able to reset it at will would allow one to hit the same seed... hm...

    I think you could get way with tape as I did that with my friend's Silver game... I can try on my Ruby game in a little bit actually.

    Hey saw your post in RNG research and uh... couldn't one just remove the battery then put it back in and the RTC is reset to 0?
    Awesome! I have no idea how to program, so I did all my calculations manually :( . But did you figure out how to determine what date your cart thinks it is? Its probably not synchronized with the real time, and that will mess with hitting target seeds. Mine was a couple years behind.

    Oh and btw, my notes aren't really notes, but more like memory joggers. I'd have to make time to sit down and relearn everything before I can write out something that someone else can understand.
    Yeah just make sure you include your username, somehow people are forgetting that LOL
    Yep, too bad for him I was able to record the battle live :3 I'll post it on my youtube channel, eventually.

    Not sure if you're still looking for them but I have some of the things you listed in SQ/R.
    Machop. Poke Ball. Jolly. Guts (becomes No Guard when evolved on the 4th gen). 31/31/31/16/31/31. Mimic (3rd gen tutor move). Male. Lvl 5 UT. 3rd gen. Emu. Non Redis.
    Shiny Shedinja. Ultra/Premier Ball. Adamant. Wonder Guard. 0/31/25/31/4/31 Mimic (3rd gen tutor move), Swords Dance (Evolve @lvl 25 and teach to Ninjask). Lvl 25 RCed. 3rd gen. Emu. Non Redis.

    Only interested in your Shiny E-speed Zigzagoon though so you would have to choose 1 if you're interested.

    uh, you still want that Machop?

    Also, would you have a problem if I caught it? (using the Jolly A1 (No Guard) 30/31/30/29/29/30 seed)
    Hozu
    You want it even though it's Adamant? Well... alright then. You got a lot of cool stuff but I can't think of which one I want the most right now so could I take a credit instead?

    Edit: Btw scarfed max speed Adamant Machamp falls short of max speed +speed nature base 100s. VERY annoying.
    I think I heard from someone that you have tried to retail cart abuse Mewtwo in FR/LG. How hard is it? I've been thinking of getting FR cart from a friend, so I could test it.
    You're completely correct in your definition of legality.

    RAM Hacked Pokemon are completely legal; they are indistinguishable from a (non)RNG encounter simply because the only thing that is "hacked" is the RNG 'frame'.

    (feel free to use ^ if the situation ever comes back lol)
    Yeah I can see why. I also grinded to around 40s and battle is easy because I know when what poke protects. Hopely I can get good one.
    Hi man! Sorry to bother you, but Im trying to SR for Colosseum Entei, and I saw you had resetted one. Is it normal that Entei usually dies before you catch it and do you have any other tips?

    What's the significance of your avatar? Specifically the gems, lol
    For DSi search:

    10 second range (as usual)
    30-50 VCount
    700-7FF Timer0
    86 GxStat
    0-20 VFrame

    If its a DS/DSLite, just change GxStat to 6.

    My DSi takes 3 seconds to load the ROM, but my DSLite took 4.
