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.
Thank you for your time.

Ack, I messed up the BBC tags. My apologies; feel free to correct on your end and delete this message if that's something you can do (if not I will shamefully accept my place on the wall of immortalized internet typos 😔)
Just to let you know, the link at the end of the Includes[\b] section currently leads to a 404 page
(I know what Clue 3 means but I still can't find the Secret Link. Surely I must be close 😭)
You might have accidentally typed an extra space after the name? Come to think of it, the game ought to just automatically strip it out if that happens; let me just do that real quick…

Wait, what??
I’m referring to legendary Pokémon in gen 3 (they all have the same catch rate). There’s no difference between exactly 1hp and 11 percent hp if trying to catch a sleeping or paralyzed mewtwo with timer balls or ultra balls.
That depends entirely on which Pokémon you're trying to catch! In the first generation there's no point lowering its HP past 33%, but in the subsequent generations the catch rate can keep improving all the way down to 1 HP, depending on how the rounding shakes out. No point lowering it beyond 12% might be the case with the particular Pokémon you were looking at, but if you look at a different Pokémon you'll see different catch rates and different thresholds for where exactly it maxes out.
So when catching legendaries, sleep and chuck is the optimal strategy (even if it's Mewtwo). Reducing the HP will have a minimal effect on the catch rate (22% vs 24%). Paralysis is viable too, though clearly inferior to sleep. And although Ultra Balls are best, Great Balls and even regular Poke Balls provide a decent enough chance.
So False Swipe is overrated as there's no advantage to getting the wild Pokemon to 1 HP versus <12% HP (and getting it that low is only relevant if you're using Timer Balls; you only need <25% with Ultra Balls). Super Fang is the way to go, unless you have a level 100 Farfetch'd or something crazy.

That's something Satoshi Tajiri would say…

Hi! I found this site a few months ago when I was looking for a damage calculator. This site is so cool! I am making my own fan site right now and yours is one of my inspirations. Thank you!
There's basically no Eurovision hype in Iceland right now. I've not really heard anyone talking about it, except in the context of being glad we're not participating. Polls on boycotting Eurovision before the decision showed a clean majority for it.
McDonald's wasn't banned; the local franchise owner just terminated their contract with McDonald's because it had become prohibitively expensive to have to import everything from McDonald's' approved suppliers and instead rebranded their McDonald's locations as a different but very similar burger place, Metro. I think I visited Icelandic McDonald's once in my life, and have since visited Metro once in my life, and probably could not tell you the difference.
Also, I heard McDonald's got banned in Iceland and had to leave it. Do you miss McDonald's being in Iceland? And do you think the ban on then will ever be lifted? And why were they banned?
Are you missing seeing Iceland in Eurovision? And has them not competing killed the hype and interest in the competition for Icelanders this year? And I heard Iceland's opinion on boycotting Eurovision was pretty even
This website and the calculators are great. You, and others, may find some discrepancies but overall this website is very helpful. I spent the better part of 7 hours programming my own calculator from scratch, without the use of reference code, and can say I very much appreciate the dedication the site owner has.
If the site owner is reading this, thanks for all of the time spent and the hard work!
it's been literally so long since i've been on this site and only recently remembered such an old alias that i'd used here. it's so crazy to see it's still around and to read all the changes in your life since we were kids!
me and my lesbian lover nightmare the scizor against the world.. her femme bestie can join us too
I know ALL Pokémon.
wrong
very cool investigation, it’s impressive you managed to finally settle why the glitch happened. from now on i’ll always think about jolteon bittersweetly when naming my characters. thanks for sharing.
