	Date & Time : Jan 1st 2098, 07:03
	Delay: 7800 | 96330 (crafted's)
	> RNG manipulation movement : see Werster's runs

Piplup new setup (emulator - GenoKirby - No BIOS):
	Seed : 0x310715D0
	Date & Time : Jan 1st 2098, 07:15
	Delay: 3000 | 92780
	> to be tested, can check trainerID & send it to me to find how far you are
	> RNG manipulation movement : see Werster's runs


Encounter-chain setup (console - Retrotato) :
	Seed : 0xBC03041D
	Date & Time : Dec 31st 2097, 03:45
	Delay: 7000 | 20350
	> Console-proofed by Retrotato
	> Yoloball setup :
		- Save : start 1 tile from entering the grass, facing it
		- Scyther : run 8 consecutive tiles in the grass (guarantees with either Net or Dusk Ball)
		- Roselia : do at least 9 dmg (puts Dusk Ball at 99.994%)
		- Geodude : Dusk Ball is 100% no matter what
	> Poketch stepcounter needs to be INSIDE these intervals :
		3000-3110 	3128-3238 	3256-3366 	3384-3494 	3512-3622

Testing setup for 0xBC03041D
	> night time, can buy 3 Dusk Balls in Solaceon Town before the manip (Scyther 21%, Roselia 78%, Geodude 100% at max HP at night)

A. Reminder this setup allows a Scyther yoloball from save load assuming the movement to the Scyther encounter is designed as so. One can just try several movement patterns in the grass (starting either inside or outside, running/walking, entering/exiting the grass sometimes, etc.)
B. Reminder the Piplup had to be changed to ensure not requiring a timed input for Scyther yoloball search. Since the new Piplup time&date were only theoretically created (just like the chained-encounter seed), this will also require adjustements.
C. Reminder these setups are specifically made for DS original/Lite, and won't directly apply to emulators.

Piplup new setup :
	Date & Time : Jan 1st 2098, 07:03
	Delay: 6500 | 96120
	> to be tested, can check trainerID & send it to me to find how far you are

Encounter-chain setup :
	Date & Time : Dec 31st 2098, 03:45
	Delay: 7000 | 20330
	> tested by Retrotato

0. Setup EonTimer : C Tab, Enter time > Add, Enter time > Add
	 (You can use the {Tab} key to select the Start button, thus hitting {Space} or {Enter} will start the timer)
1. Set the date of your DS to the one described above. Load your save casually.
2. Set your manip save :
	> Have at least 1 Honey in your Bag.
	> Have several Balls to catch the encountered Pokémon (it can be anything as easy as Staravia to something hard to catch like Chansey, so prepare a Pokémon to weaken/status it)
	> Go in the southern tall grass of Route 210 (above Solaceon City - don't go above the slope to keep spinners unloaded)
	> Save there
	> Hard reset the console.

3. Set the current time and start EonTimer when you confirm it.
4. Quickly hard reset the console, clear the DS starting screen by holding any button down
5. Enter the game when the first countdown reaches 0
6. Clear the intro sequence, press A on the save when the second timer reaches 0.

7. Once the game is loaded :
	> DON'T MOVE
	> Use your Honey
	> Catch the encountered Pokémon
	> Send me its stats information, featuring all the information described below :
		<Name> <Level> <Sex> | <Nature> <Stats> <Ability>
	> Journal shouldn't be popping with this setup, but if it still does, tell me whether the page displays "<Pokémon> (CAUGHT)" at least once.
8. From this encounter information, i'll be able to find the necessary modifications to the current setup.
9. If you land on the encounter below, you have the correct seed setup, so you can keep the current delays and encounter the 3 Pokes by just turning in the grass from load save without using the Honey :
	> Some Hoothoot with some stats

10. Cheers. :)
