Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yes. it always matters. But which method it is I am unsure of

Not the place to ask questions though.

@All4game; You have to be doing something wrong, the frame doesn't jump without being advanced.
Are you walking? Are you flipping? You know that the starting frame is 12, right?
You could use it, but the nature will probably be different from what you are going for. But in cases like these you would use the spreadsheets located on the 1st page
There aren't really clear instructions. From what I've seen on the HG/SS RNG
thread, they really can only abuse using save states. (Though, I think someone did it without them)Mostly because of the inconsistency of frame advancing I think.
