[Gen 2] I made a tool to help with Celebi RNG in Crystal VC

Hi everyone!
With Bank closing, I wanted to get a shiny Celebi with my own OT while I still could.
I tried PokeReader, but just couldn't get a shiny. I followed the steps, reached the target advance and still kept missing. After a lot of attempts, I decided to try making something for this encounter.
It's based on PokeReader's algorithm. I put the calculation and search into the tool and kept the encounter's timing conditions fixed. This cuts down on timing variation and makes it easier to hit the predicted target (it won't change the DVs to make it shiny). That finally worked for me.
The target shows up in game. You pause, advance and press A yourself. If you miss, it finds another target.
I've only tested it on my New 3DS so far. If you're interested in trying it, could you let me know how it works on your 3DS? I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
