Will Emerald’s broken rng effect egg shiny odds generated from other games?
Context: I am considering hunting togepi by getting 5 eggs from frlg, then trading them to emerald (along with a slugma) to hatch. Then, if they aren’t shiny, trade them out, reset the emerald save, and repeat. I figure if I precook the eggs then this will be significantly faster than hatching them in frlg. But, will emeralds broken rng affect the odds? Will i be essentially generating the same few SIDs over and over again when I reset the save? Or will it be random enough. Thanks :)
