- Save in front of the starter you want, in case you need to reset the game.
- Choose your starter and stop when you see the Player received Pokemon text with the flashing arrow to continue.
- Go into PokeReader's RNG screen and wait until it stops saying Finding ADIV Index and Finding SDIV Index.
- Pause PokeReader with L + R.
- Type the information on PokeReader into the RNG Tool below and press "Generate".
- Advance the game with L until PokeReader's Advance number matches one of the generated Advance columns below.
- (Optional) Create a save state if you're on an emulator, in case you need to reset.
- When you land on your desired advance, press A to accept the Pokemon.
- If you got your Pokemon, congrats! If not, keep trying! It won't take long.
Helpful tips:
- This is unstable! Expect it to take many tries!
- Only use L + R to pause and advance in Gen 2, not Start + Select. Start + Select will mess up the RNG!
- The gameboy takes more than one video frame to register a button press, but the 3ds notices it immediately. Pressing A too fast will unpause the game without starting the encounter.
- Holding A too long might mess up the RNG! Press it for more than one frame, but no longer.
