I didn't know people as amazing as you even existed. Thank you so much.

Why would I ask the question that is in the title?

Again, if you would open your pretentious condescending eyes you might read the thread title. The thread was a question on weather the Machine was bugged.

Oh. My bad. I don't really use forums for anything ever so I'm not sure how they work. It took me a few minutes to realize that quotes were actually the reply button. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I will just keep grinding. I might try that. The last cheat engine I used was for Dark Souls 1 so I might have to brush up. I'd rather just cheat in the Riolu as I don't really agree with putting RNG on something as important as picking a starter. It is the biggest decision of a trainer's journey after all. Do you recommend any specific engine?

Gible isn't in the game yet though. So you KNOW that you cannot get it as a starter or otherwise. There isn't a feeling of "Could have been" Riolu IS therefore there IS a negative effect to be had when I can't use it just because of bad RNG. Also, I wasn't arguing that I need a Riolu I made this thread to see if the machine was bugged because of the unusually bad RNG I am getting. Instead of people talking about it I get attacked and chastised for wanting to use my favorite pokemon as a starter so that I dont have any regrets playing through the game. Yeah. I have been using the triple speed toggle. My game crashes every 7th soft reset so I have been using it to tally my attempts. So far I have soft reset the game around 330 times without getting a single Jackpot. That's why I was wondering if I had encountered a bug. I read on some other forums that most people found a jackpot starter in about 30 minutes. I am at almost 4 hours now and nothing. :/

If my play through could be with my favorite pokemon I am going to go for it every time. Otherwise then entire time I am playing I will be thinking "Yeah, this is cool, but I wish I had gotten Riolu." I don't want to regret my play through. That is a sour experience and I want to experience this game in the best way possible for me. Saying that it is "a bad excuse" to want to play a game with my favorite starter is pompous and insensitive. I guess I will wait for the full release or keep on grinding for the Jackpot Riolu.

Hi! I recently started this amazing game for the first time. I was blown away by the music and the starting sequence with the boat but then I got to the starter selection. I am in V 9.2 as it is shown on my home screen. I am getting 7th gen starters from the random starter machine so the patch is installed correctly. I think the random starter machine is a really cool addition but there is one issue. I want a Riolu as my starter. Now that I am aware that Riolu is a possible starter I really want to get one but I have spent over 2.5 hours soft resetting at the machine now with no luck. I haven't even gotten a single jackpot starter let alone a Riolu. Adding some rare pokemon to the machine was a good idea initially but making them a %1> was a massive mistake. I want to get into this awesome game but without the starter I want I wont play it becuase it will feel like a wasted experience. Jackpots should be a 2% or 3% chance or even an equal chance with the other normal starters. 1/25 is perfectly fine. Is there somewhere later on in the game where I can catch a Riolu? If so Ill settle on a normal starter and start the game. If not I'm SoL.
