  2. Pokemon Platinum Glitchless FAQ
  3.  
  4. Q: Why do you keep resetting and changing the time?
  5.  
  6. A: I need to use a specific time in order to use RNG manipulation, so I set the clock on my 3DS in such a way that I can use it.
  7.  
  8. The timer counts down to when I need to reset for the correct second.
  9.  
  10. Q: What is RNG?
  11.  
  12. A: Random Number Generator, the thing that determines everything random within the game, such as stats or encounters.
  13.  
  14. Q: Why use RNG Manipulation?
  15.  
  16. A: RNG manipulation is used in this speedrun, which involves resetting on a specific second starting from a specific time, and hitting the correct frame for the correct seed after resetting. This allows me to get a Chimchar with almost perfect stats, and also, allows me to get Pokerus.
  17.  
  18. Q: Why almost perfect stats? Why don't you just get 31 IVs on every stat?
  19.  
  20. A: Because it's not possible to do so. Technically, it is possible to get a better Chimchar but it would require waiting for several minutes / hours during the TV cutscene, so it's not worth it, and I'm limited because I use Pokerus as well.
  21.  
  22. IVs of the Chimchar I'm looking for are HP 30 / ATK 31 / DEF 25 / SP ATK 30 / SP DEF 27 / SPEED 31, and a Naughty nature.
  23.  
  24. I take extra steps throughout the start but this is worth it imo, for the extra stats and no encounters + Pokerus.
  25.  
  26. Q: Whoa! Pokerus! How the hell do you get that?
  27.  
  28. A: Because Pokerus is bound by the encounter RNG, you can get an encounter by moving perfectly and this encounter will always give you Pokerus.
  29.  
  30. Q: What causes the resets?
  31.  
  32. A: I missed the Trainer ID. The one I am trying to hit is 45008. If I don't get it I know I incorrectly RNG manipulated so I reset.
  33.  
  34. Q: Why don't you check stats or Pokerus status?
  35.  
  36. A: Because I already know what stats Chimchar will have after the Barry fight. I'll know if I get Pokerus, because the encounter will be a Lv3 Male Starly on a specific tile.
  37.  
  38. Q: Why pick the girl?
  39.  
  40. A: She is faster, because of text related stuff. She saves about 2 seconds worth of frames in the first 20 minutes of gameplay.
