Recently I picked up a genuine copy of Emerald, which was harder to find and a bit more expensive than I thought it would be. I used this to pick my trainer ID and secret ID (TID/SID) combination, and later to force various encounters to be shiny, eggs to have better IVs, wild pokérus to appear, etc. The gist of it was that the game seeds it's random number generator using the system date and time, so if one used a good timer and started the game at the correct time, and triggered an event on the correct frame, any desired outcome could be attained. I spent a little time during 2020 learning how to manipulate the RNG (random number generation) in Pokémon Platinum, a 4th generation game.
