Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Speaking of theories, I have one that I don't think has been deliberated upon. I believe what I researched is very interesting, so here's the super-shortened version:
If there was to be a 6th Generation, there would be a small problem (Well, to some people it would be a problem). One of the new Pokemon would have the Pokedex number of 666, and therefore it would never be looked at the same by people who cared. But, see, there's ALREADY more than 666 Pokemon. I mean Formes; Pokemon with different stats, Types, and appearances that aren't counted as a Pokedex number. I won't put the list here for space purposes, but here's the what it adds up to.
There are 70 Pokemon unrepresented with their own Pokedex number. This, with the 649 species, makes 719. The difference of 719 and 666(therefore the number we must subtract from 649) is 53. 649 - 53 = 596. But there is one Pokemon of the 70 uncounted that comes after the Pokedex Number 596(Meloetta). So go back one. 595. The real #666 is the Pokedex number 595. Joltik.
This theory of mine had been flawed previously, as I had forgotten some of the alternate Formes and appearances. But I'm sure sure it's accurate now.
I don't mean this to be a serious condemning of Joltik, as he's one of my very favorite from the 5th Gen, but simply an interesting thought I had that I took the time to factor mathematically. This almost makes me want to write some sort of story about an evil Joltik now, though. *spooky laugh* Additionally, I do not mean to offend anyone who would take offense from the subject.
I apologize for having such a large post. If you want a list of the 70 aforementioned 'uncounted Pokemon', you may e-mail me for it. I wanted to condense my theory as much as possible. I can also include the non-condensed math equation I did, if you think I made a mistake.

They are accepted, as are "Nidoran male" and Nidoran female"!
Thank you so much for maintaining such a fantastic resource! The Cave of Dragonflies has always been a special place for the community. I really appreciate all the hard work put into this site. Long live Pokémon!
We can't put in gender symbols for the nidorans. That's not really fair. NidoranF and NidoranM should be accepted.
as i find myself in my personal Indie Web Era, returning to the internet habits of my childhood with the small web revival movement of neocities and nekoweb and other communities, i find myself coming back to this site a whole lot. every time i see your link on someone's button wall, i end up coming back here. i spent a LOT of time on your site as a kid, always thinking of it as the pinnacle of what i wanted my own website to be when i was constantly trying, failing, and wishing to make a site of my own. now i have one, and that's real cool, and your site continues to serve as an inspiration—how funny that life can circle back that way! thank you for continuing to keep and share your passion all this time, and for galvanizing me to keep and share mine, too!
Thanks for your the response ! I'm French and I try to learn all dex numbers, so I will definitely look forward for it !
Hmm, I hadn't thought about doing that, but perhaps that'd be a neat thing to add! It wouldn't be super hard to implement, since I've got a database with multilingual names.
Will Pokémon names in other languages be available in the future?
Unfortunate! If you don't have Pokémon in your autocorrect dictionary, then you should probably turn autocorrect off before playing this game. Turning it off for the field in general might be annoying for people who do have Pokémon in their autocorrect dictionaries and make a typo!
Which game are you playing? There are no rocks or bait in Scarlet and Violet, which are what this calculator is for.
Typed Dewott, but got it wrong bc it autocorrected to Dewitt
Do you remember and know what happened to Suita Ratio and Mewtwofan's Pokemon site
Is there a way to calculate the catch rate alterations made when throwing rocks or bait at the pokemon? Right now, I see no option for this, but I think the option should show up if you use the Safari Ball as the ball you caught the pokemon in.
gUyS!
sCoRpLaCk ShOuLd Be A BuG-dArK tYpE!
But seriously, I really like these fanmades and will now promptly start making my own. Thank you, and have a good day.
This post is not inflammatory or off-topic.
I made it to the end! Excellent job of boring me out of my skull!
But seriously, I'm going to dual screen this with my homework and get onto the end page way too many times to keep myself interested with my homework rather than the marquee of endless enuii.
Also, I sympathize with the PSA.
I am so glad that someone created this calculator. I just want to share that I am on the couch with my best friend watching him play through Sword for the first time, and he is trying to catch Zacian in a luxury ball. Being able to see his actual, approximate chances is very fulfilling and I deeply appreciate you putting in the time to make this! Thanks for livening up this experience!
Just found this website and I'm loving it, I fear homework will have to be postponed again
Really cool website, plus I got Passimian and I love that
wow… it's been quite awhile. So happy to see this still around. I wish you wonderful health and happiness.
I like:D
SoonTM
