This is a pure vanity question, but after playing through Gen 3 with a matching TID and SID, I want my Gen 4 games to have the same combination of 11894/11894. However, I've been running Pokefinder and Zaksabeast's TID/SID RNG tool for hours searching and haven't come up with anything. I know Gen 3's RNG is limited and does not have every possible combination of numbers. Is that the case in Gen 4 as well? Should I resign myself to selecting something else, or if I grind it out long enough will I find what I'm looking for? Thanks so much everyone.

lmao that just made my life so much simpler. Thank you for this!
I'm assuming Lincoln's tool is definitive; if it doesn't show up here, I'm out of luck?

Just check infinte research in ids window
So far Pokefinder has crashed for me when using infinite search before anything is returned

Just to be clear, these search parameters are properly set up? Just want to make sure I'm not wasting my time. I'll leave this running over night if I have to.

I have no idea how to work with Python. I did everything I could to try and run this and I couldn't get past the dependencies. Is this the same code as what's already packaged with PokeFinder though?

Yes
Just click infinite
No need for the 999999

If Infinite Search stopped searching, does that mean I should give up now?

Probably that combo doesn't exist at all
pallid stream
I figured. Thanks so much for the help though

Not all combos are possible for gen 4?
old tide
Not all combos are possible for gen 4?
nope
at least, they shouldn't
unless you want a delay which is 999999999

Is there documentation I could read somewhere about how Gen 4's RNG is produced?

Pokefinder source code

lmao

Lighter reading?
old tide
Basically all tid/sid are doable
pallid stream
LOL don't tell me that
old tide
The problem is that some of them may have a delay which is too big
pallid stream
I was just accepting my fate
So theoretically it is all possible then?
I'm used to colosseum having a limited selection of possibilities
old tide
If the delay is too big, you can't basically hit them
pallid stream
Yeah I getcha
Given an infinite amount of time does Pokémon Platinum write Shakespeare

Sure ahaha
Infine research is not really infinite
You can edit the function
