==Abuse of the pseudorandom number generator to generate the characteristics of a hatched Pokémon in Pokémon Platinum==
==Abuse of the generated characteristics of a hatched Pokémon in Pokémon Platinum==


Several players have taken advantage of the fact that a different random-seed will not be generated in Pokémon Platinum when the player selects 'Continue' on the title screen and will only depend on other main game variables such as game time. In this way, the random seed is more predictable and can be tracked via a [[game-altering device]] or knowledge of the relevant pseudo-random number generation algorithm and an additional algorithm determining how the random seed changes after performing simple actions like tossing a coin on the Coin Toss Pokétch application.
