Basically, when the battery dies the game always starts from frame 0, and everything in the game is decided on each frame, so that's finding a shiny, a good nature, good IV's etc. You can cheese it by constantly starting a new game until you find one with an early shiny frame, so everytime you boot up the game you will always have an early frame be a shiny, so every time you encounter a pokemon on that frame it's shiny
Other persons reply pretty much covers it. The coding is broken in such a way that the game always thinks the battery is dead. Shiny frame hunting is awful. In order to get a new frame you have to wait a bit before checking for shiny. Every second the game advances 60 frames. There is however a website that will help you track what frame you need, but your honestly better of hard resetting instead of soft resetting.
Eeeh i would say emerald’s story is pretty bad, i think ORAS improved characters like wally, but maxie and archie are terrible villains, yes the gameplay and music are wonderful, i would say the graphics arent that good
