However, a YouTuber by the name of Choppy came up with a method for determining the SID without the onerous full-odds shiny hunting step. This makes it impossible to arbitrarily choose your trainer ID/secret ID, so the long-standing method of determining SID on Emerald involved finding a naturally occurring shiny pokemon and working backwards from it's IVs, nature, gender, etc to determine the SID for which it is shiny. Unfortunately, the RNG in Emerald in particular (not sapphire or ruby) is 'broken', it doesn't take into account the system time / date when seeding the generator, it just always starts with a seed of 0x00. Wanting to do many of the same things I accomplished in Platinum, I looked around for a way to set my trainer and secret IDs while starting a new file. Recently I picked up a genuine copy of Emerald, which was harder to find and a bit more expensive than I thought it would be.

I used this to pick my trainer ID and secret ID (TID/SID) combination, and later to force various encounters to be shiny, eggs to have better IVs, wild pokérus to appear, etc. The gist of it was that the game seeds it's random number generator using the system date and time, so if one used a good timer and started the game at the correct time, and triggered an event on the correct frame, any desired outcome could be attained. In Ruby and Sapphire (as well as in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire), to solve the puzzle leading to Regirock in the Desert Ruins, the player must read the Braille inscription in the rear of the lobby, then go two steps right, then two steps down, and then use Strength.Ĭonversely, in Emerald, the player must go two steps left, then two steps down, and then use Rock Smash.I spent a little time during 2020 learning how to manipulate the RNG (random number generation) in Pokémon Platinum, a 4th generation game. The caves where the legendary titans can be caught can be accessed only after visiting the rear of the Sealed Chamber with a Relicanth in the lead spot of the party and a Wailord in the last spot (as opposed to Emerald, where Wailord is the lead and Relicanth is at the last spot). Its Poké Ball depends on the one used to catch it. On Route 101, Professor Birch gets attacked by a wild Poochyena ( Zigzagoon in Pokémon Emerald), and the player has to use either Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip to save him.Įach Pokémon has starts with the same two moves in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, which was later expanded into 3 moves per Pokémon in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. These specific instances of Pokémon can only be obtained once per game however, some may also be obtained in other ways as well.

This is a list of Pokémon obtainable from events found in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
