- Generation V Roamer RNG Abuse ----- A Guide by zapdos44
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Things You Need
- - RNG Reporter (Preferably the Latest Build; As of this writing, 10.3.1 is the latest build)
- - DeSmuMe (Needs _dev suffix; Make sure to have the lua.dlls for it)
- - Pokemon Black OR White
- - The BW Lua Scripts (Make sure they match your language)
- - runasdate (Optional)
- - Generation 5 RNG Experience (HIGHLY recommended! Attempting this as your first Gen V Abuse will likely ruin your experience)
- - Patience (Be prepared to fail)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Things To Know
- It is fairly agreed upon that Roamer Abuse in Pokemon Black and White is the hardest/one of the hardest Generation 5 RNGS. Though
- it seems fairly straightforward on paper, the actual process of RNGing it is frustrating and fairly luck-based. As you may have
- already noticed, Tornadus and Thundurus bring some fairly sever weather conditions to the Overworld. In addition to making it hard
- to see on certain areas, it also rapidly advances the PIDRNG Frame. Also, after you press "A" and the roamer flies off, the PIDRNG
- Frame continues to rapidly advance.
- Also, you may need to do TID/SID Abuse as certain TID/SID combos may not result in Shininess with your calibration etc etc. I would
- recommend that you simply do it the first time so the process is smoother.
- ROAMER ABUSE IS VERY TIME CONSUMING. IT TOOK ME 3 HOURS AND CAN VARY.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Why Bother?
- While the recent discovery of Generation 6 RNG Abuse has made it possible to do Shiny Thundurus and Tornadus in ORAS, you still
- need to soft reset for a seed and get good IV spreads. Getting a perfect spread is possible in ORAS, but in my opinion, its faster
- on BW. Also, Roamer Abuse is a pretty nice achievement to have in Generation 5, as it is fairly difficult/luck-based.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Targets
- Pokemon Black: Tornadus (Typically RNG'd to a Timid HP Ice Spread or Hasty/Naive HP Ice Spread)
- Pokemon White: Thundurus (Typically RNG'd to a Timid 31/0/30/31/31/31 Spread or something similar)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The RNG Process
- 1. In-Game Preperation
- - In-Game, you will want to save in the house that you are taken to before you release the roamer. It is located on Route 7.
- - Make sure to have at least 1 Chatot with a Chatter inside.
- 2. RNG Reporter
- - Open Gen V Time Finder
- - Select your Profile and set parameters.
- - Make sure that it is set to search for "Roaming Pokemon" spreads.
- - Hit "Search" and wait
- 3. Hitting your seed and IVS
- - Load the game at the correct time via runasdate OR by changing your PC time. I prefer runasdate since you can lock the time
- to never change.
- - IVS are easily obtained. If you notice, there are two frame counts listed on Time Finder. Choose the one in the "Frame"
- column. To hit this frame, you must walk around inside the house. It advances by 1 for every Pokemon in your party.
- 4. PID Stuff
- - Once you have your IVRNG Frame hit, walk outside. Get to the part where it says: "It must be that
- POKeMON's doing!" or something like that. Make a save state and advance PIDRNG Frames. When you are close, pause and advance
- by pressing N. If your frame was skipped, just take the one nearest to it, as it won't matter right now. Hit "A" and watch the
- roamer fly off. In your PokeDex, if you got a Shiny, it will appear shiny in the dex. (You probably didn't) Chase the roamer
- down and get its PID. Once you have, its time to find out what frame you hit.
- 5. Finding the Frame you hit
- - Go to the main RNG Reporter screen and set the Method to Generation 5 PIDRNG. Copy the seed from Time Finder and put
- it in the Seed (Hex) bar. Click Generate. Find the PID you hit and note the frame. Do basic subtraction to find out how many
- frames passed before the PID was generated when you pressed A. Now subtract that many frames from your target and hit that.
- Repeat Step 4 - 5 until you hit your PID. The Frame difference will vary each time, but eventually you will hit your spread.
- If you haven't already found out, this RNG is very tedious and time consuming.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Good luck with your roamers!
