:Before the pseudorandom number generator is used the game will use generate a 'random' number based on the product of the values of eight bytes (known as the random seed or 'seed state'). The seed is the product of eight bytes and can range from any value between 1 and 4294967295. This number is usually generated after the player chooses 'Continue' on the title screen or will depend on the values of previous in-game variables. To determine a 'random' number the game will then use the algorithm (0x41C64E6D * Seed) + 0x6073, where 0x41C64E6D is the
2. The second pseudorandom number generator creates a value ensuring that the Manaphy Egg obtained from Pokémon Ranger does not contain a shiny Manaphy. It also determines the species of a Pokémon swarm, the species of Pokémon found in the telescopes within the Great Marsh, the Pokémon found in the Trophy Garden and ensures that the Pokémon obtained from Mystery Gift cards are not shiny.
