There are wild pokemon where the dogs are located. The closet you can get before making the dogs start to run are on the steps. You can still encounter pokemon there. So I am assuming he used repels and just forgot about it still advancing.
Interesting that Raikou's re-spawn frame is 5. Probably reflecting the exact same amount of RNG calls for Mespirt of Cresselia in D/P/Pt. Also confirming my suspicion that it would be a spread from the first seed you get after beating the game. How many tests did you run on Raikou? Still confirms that you can only really abuse one of the dogs the very first time to release them, so I guess we just have to live with that for cartridge based abuse.@ForumN00b: The burnt tower contains NPCs iirc, so...
Latest tests:
Dratini:Its starting frame is 1.
Lapras:Its starting frame is either 1 or 2 (I have removed the roamer frame this time...). Also, the room where lapras is has one trainer who keep moving, which is why I'm not sure about the starting frame, while the other two don't.
Ho-oh:Its starting frame is 1. You can't use the radio to advance the frame here, only way to do it are the 128 steps or going down the ladder and advance it with steps and turn (using repels), but this is risky since the 128 steps can still mess your calculations.
Also, I fainted raikou before defeating the pokemon league and I saved before the champion.
I defeated him (writing down the hour and minute I loaded the game) and I caught raikou. Its spread was on frame 5.
I didn't see this when it got posted, so I'm going to reply now.This has given me the idea that either the step to the stair doesnt count or the turn towards the left doesnt count. If anyone has tried to rng abuse for heatran by running in the stairs up to heatran's room in DPPt, then that stair experience may become handy. I will conclude that its the same as DPPt when it comes to advancing through steps/turns in wild pkmn inhabited areas (with the exception of left turns in the b1 area of burnt tower until further investigation). However, my offset of 252 for Raikou earlier isnt explained. 128 steps would be 128 frames according to this info. But the amount of turns was not even close to half of 128 (128 x 2 is 256 anyways so forget about it even if it was half). It is possible for turn counting error, but forget counting, its obvious that if you run from the bottom then turn and go to the top (in b1 of burnt tower approximately 40 steps) and repeat until 100 and do the rest at the little space next to the stair towards the dogs, theres no way you cudve even turned 40 times, which is less than half. So how is offset nearly double? (256-5+251) More research needed
Also, I was wondering if I am allowed to post my experiences here. Thanks
It's looks to be random, determined by date and time and what is being played on the radio. I've had moderate success with using the lower right hand station by de-tuning and selecting it again, advancing the offset one by one.How much does the Phone and Radio advance the Frame by? :/
You keep the same seed every time, without having to hit that again.What do you mean by keeping all the other variable the same?
I'm not the only one talking about R4/flashcarts in this thread.NO ROM TALK ON THE FORUMS.
The most reliable way is walking 128 steps unfortunately. Have you checked out the other 3 starters? I am assuming it is the same order based on type, bulbasaur, charmander, squirtle, which is also the pokedex order.I was testing the starters too and I got consistent results.
Chikorita:Its starting frame is 1.
Cyndaquil:Its starting frame is 5.
Totodile:Its starting frame is 9.
But the problem is: How can we increase the frame without the radio or anything else?
That's weird..I was testing the starters too and I got consistent results.
Chikorita:Its starting frame is 1.
Cyndaquil:Its starting frame is 5.
Totodile:Its starting frame is 9.
They're generated as method 1 pokemon.

EDIT:
@LF:The 128 steps don't work since you don't have pokemon in your team.
I tried to walk for 128 steps and my starting frame was the same, I will try again just to confirm.
This isn't a question and answer thread. Suicune like most of the other stationary legends are all method K.Does anyone know what Suicune's Frame is? :/
I use the most recent reporter, 7.01.Pokerealm - Do you have the RNG reporter with HG/SS delay options. Maybe you don't and your seed happens to be found on a higher delay but the frames are off a lot.
