Plat Any% - Syncing theoretical catch data with console (DS Phat) ------ Requirements : > DS Phat with Pokémon Platinum (EN version) > Eon Timer > LiveSplit (or any accurate timing device) > Early-game RNG manipulation (up to Oreburgh Mine) : https://pastebin.com/3UkbBzRp - don't need the extended manip, just stop the manip after talking to Roark the 1st time - can provide a video footage of the whole manip (and explain all the details) > Tentacruel encounter manip : https://pastebin.com/rryUuPgm ----- Way to go : > Setup your DS (No GBA cart - September 10th, 2099 - 06:03AM) > Setup Eon Timer (C tab - 7200 - 97880) - Click game when 1st countdown ends - Clear TV screen when 2nd countdown ends > Setup LiveSplit to -1s (gives an approximation of when the game framecounter starts) > Note down how many extra encounters you get (beside from Abra, and including the encounters when manipulating Tentacruel) > Perform the early-game manip, then continue until you reach Tentacruel spot > !!!IMPORTANT!!! Split on LiveSplit when you perform your last movement that will create the Tentacruel encounter (this will set the battle seed) > Only throw Pokéballs at Tentacruel and note all these info for every turn : - Number of wobbles the PokéBall does (0-3 or caught) - What move Tentacruel uses, if it criticals or not, if it misses or not ----- Additional info: > Sandgem Shopping : 5 Potions > Roark : sacrifice Abra if Screech hits 1 or more times > Post Roark Jubilife Shopping : - (enough to reach 4 Pokéball) - 2 Super Potions - 2 Antidotes - Repels (max quantity) > Mars : always heal below ~28 HP > Eterna Shopping : - 1 Heal Powder - 1 Revival Herb - Energy Roots (max quantity) > Saturn : sacrifice Abra if Smokescreen 2 or more times if dead, switch to Abra & Revival Herb Chimmy > Oreburgh Center : - Deposit Egg - Heal Abra if dead with deposit/withdraw > For Tentacruel fight, party should count 2 Pokémon. > Heal Chimmy to full before encountering Tentacruel. ----- Example of data : > Extra encounters : 3 > Split at ~1:09:27.50 > Turn 1 : 1 Wobble into Wrap miss > Turn 2 : 0 Wobble into Poison Jab crit > Turn 3 : 2 Wobbles into Barrier > Turn 4 : catch ----- Analysis (for my own, don't care about this): > framecounter = RTA*fps*correction // fps = 59.8261 // correction = 1.008 > Add 8 to seconds, 63 to minutes > Pray for some matches
