Pokemon When RNG Abuse Goes Wrong...

Okay, so for those of you who don't know (how the fuck don't you know?!), I play a lot of Pokémon, and I do something known as shiny hunting (sinking a fuck load of time into finding rare, sparkly, different coloured Pokémon that are otherwise no different). Anyway, one of the games, Emerald, has stupidly broken RNG, to the point where it can be easily abused for shiny Pokémon. I figured that I'd go for Shroomish. So far, well, see for your self.

STILL NO SHROOMISH. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-

 

Well, I eventually learned of something called 'encounter slots'. Each frame has its own slot, which dictates what appears on that frame. With Emerald having broken RNG, every frame will always have the same encounter slot. This means that my shiny frame will always have the same Pokémon on it. However, because I was using a Synchronise lead, I could sync frames with other encounter slots to my shiny frame, hence my range of shinies from abusing (5 Silcoon, 3 Cascoon and 3 Poochyena in this case). Here's the bad news. None of my frames that give Shroomish are sync frames, which means that, at least on my most reasonably obtainable shiny frame, Shroomish is a no go. With that in mind, I ended up getting it in Alpha Sapphire instead.
