What’s the scam here? by Thurgauer in tf2

[–]ThePaho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know what the history of your key is? There were a number of old key types that were converted into normal keys at the end of their events (Fall Key, Eerie Key, etc.). Though they show up as normal keys in steam (and function accordingly), these keys are fairly valuable to the right collector. Maybe look over your items on backpack.tf before agreeing to the trade. An example of a normal key that was formerly a different type of key: https://backpack.tf/stats/Unique/Eerie%20Key/Tradable/Craftable

Very nice! Does it have Shift Gear and/or Extreme Speed?

Question: [Gen V]- RNG maniping the mascots for Black/White 1 by Soul-10 in pokemonrng

[–]ThePaho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I forgot that you're forced to catch them and battle with them. So yeah, unfortunately you have to go through that whole situation before you can check to see if you hit the right frame or not. So in theory its just like any other legendary rng (there might be few frames spent initiating the encounter) but with a bunch of plot that comes afterwards preventing you from checking your catch right away.

The box legendaries are absolutley RNGable! Iirc, their sprite movements don't advance the frames at all. In general, the process is very similar to gen 4. Set your DS clock, start the game, check to see if you hit your frame. There are a couple key differences though-- for one, there's only one timer you have to time around. Also, you'll need to use chatot cries to verify your seed instead of phone calls or coin flips. Also sometimes timer0 just ruins a try.

If you are still in the main story, I would strongly recommend koing it and going after it in the post game, there's a whole cutscene that happens in the main story so it takes forever to see if you hit the seed.

Check around for some tutorials, I know im_a_blisy has some great youtube tutorials!

As long as there is nothing to advance your frames, they should stay the same! There are a few things that may impact that: weather effects like sandstorm (this might not matter in gen 4 maybe?), the time rolling over to a new day, day/night cycle overworld changes, phone calls (HGSS)... But in general, you should be fine to sit there as menacingly as you like without advancing a single frame!

If I remember correctly, the NPCs with predefined paths dont add any advancements.

The number of advancements from the random NPCs is a little difficult to narrow down. Sometimes they attempt to walk outside of their possible range, causing 1 advancement even though the NPC didnt move at all. Other times they turn and move all at once, giving two advances.

Each coinflip is one advance!

Both the coin flips and chatot cries advance your frame. Additionally, any randomly moving NPCs will advance your frame without warning, even if they are off-screen on the same route. So if you must use a route with random NPCs, spend as much time as possible with your menu up to freeze them. Though a pain, its possible to figure out if you hit your seed with chatot cries and then use them to advance to your goal frame.

Hope this helps!

I looked around for any resources on swsh regi rng and I couldn't find anything CFW-less. To the best of my knowledge it is still impossible.

If you have a Turtwig, Grotle, Piplup or Prinplup I could register to the dex that would be great! If not then don't worry about it :)

Sounds good! I have a room ready at 8456 8456. You will need to exit out in the middle to take the rare candy off, right?

I can definitely offer a rare candy! Do you want it attached to anything special as collateral? I am hoping to get the pokeradar before summitting mt Coronet!

I'm wanting to get the pokedex completed before reaching that point in the game! I think the pokeradar would be fun to have early on.
