Basically, it will allow you to hunt any shiny in Pokemon Emerald which you can then port over to a real cartridge after for a bit of fun.


Hoping someone takes this in the future to a TAS RNG manip shiny only speed run. That would be sick to see.
For those of you who don't know, once you get your trainer ID you can pretty much know exactly which frame after a restart of the console will contain the perfect stat pokemon and if it's shiny or not. So you can precalculate it.

This will automatically stop once my Torchic is a shiny. Then I can choose the next location/pokemon to hunt.

Neat.

No doubt really cool as well though if it's something you're into. This also just made me get hit with nostalgia of the older Pokemon games and that I sunk so much damn time into, much of which of course was hunting every Pokemon you could get lol. Haven't touched a Pokemon game in ages, but maybe one day. They're obviously going to continue getting made and advancing in countless ways after all.
