That's a really nice idea. Since his is a stock 3DS, I have taught him how to keep track of his seed by checking the RNG tool to see where it last landed and writing that down for future use. I'll check with him to see if he still has it. Thanks for the idea, man.

Got it. Thank you.
Thanks for the explanation. I only asked because I'm a casual player, never played any tournament, never studied the "meta" and I have absolutely no idea what is the best nature for certain pokémon. I was SR'ing this and thought I had something good. Since I have no clue at all, I decide to ask...
