It isnt 1/8192 if you know which specific frames to hit. I take it you didnt read the Smogon article on the Emerald RNG carefully enough. With the right tool, RNG Reporter, you can discover which frames give you a shiny Pokemon based on your ID and Secret ID, and use an accurate timer or stopwatch to aid in hitting that frame. It works for resetting legendaries, as well as capturing wild Pokemon and breeding.

www.skarmbliss.com/emeraldrngguide.html Yeah, it might lower it to like 1/50 or less, depending on your ability with the stopwatch.

I take it you don't realize how hard it'd be to do -frame perfect- stuff on a real game? 60 frames = 1 second. I'd have to get things literally, in 1/60th of a second... on a real game that isn't easy. On emulators I can keep track of frames exactly and slow it down if needed.

Having done it myself, I know full well what you are talking about. All you need is good timing and a bit of patience, you can eventually hit the right frame.

it's at least 130 times easier...
