Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Altissimo: I mean, in the vast majority of cases there's no combination involved - balls have the same multipliers regardless of the Pokémon's status and health, sleep is always going to be the best status, and it's always going to be best if the Pokémon is at low health. So I'm not sure that'd be the most useful feature as stated - it's just pretty much always going to tell you the same things, which isn't very useful.
I have been working on and off on having the R/B/Y capture calculator feature a graph plotting the capture chance for each status and ball against the Pokémon's current HP (similar to the Mewtwo and Nidoran graphs in the capture mechanics article) - I think that'd probably be a more useful, dynamic way to show the really interesting information you're asking for there. The Apricorn Ball case is another interesting one; for G/S/C/HG/SS it really might be useful/interesting to have a thing showing what the results for different balls would be like. Might add that when I get the chance.
Jirachu: Sure, if you want to discuss something psychological I'm always down.
mossers: Unfortunately, the Favorite Pokémon Picker is entirely client-side - it doesn't send any data to the server at all, so I know nothing about what anyone's been picking. The closest I could theoretically get to stats about it right now is if I examined all the unique URLs people use to visit the shareable list page and then analyzed those favorite lists, but most people don't share their lists, or only share them as screenshots, so I'm not sure there'd be all that many lists to analyze.

So was I, if "the only valid babies are websites" somehow sounded like a serious statement to you :P
Come on, it was a joke!
I wasn't sure if I should put it on the zodiac page or this page since it's not a question. Just found it really cool that my birthday has a strong moon theme xD day of Lunatone in the reign of Cresselia. Anyway, this website is really cool!
The Calyrex option here is just for Calyrex itself, not the Ice Rider or Shadow Rider form. Does that mean that the catch chance is the same for both? Even for Heavy Ball, when Ice Rider is over 100x heavier than normal Calyrex?
My next essay might be one tackling the Venonat and Butterfree connection, actually :P
Butterfree, do not go here:

Jirachi!
That's what the Espeon and Umbreon page is for!
I also like the messages now showing the verification Pokemon. (lets go scyther!)
Thank you so much for making this! BTW, do you know any tips for getting happiness up on my Eevee in Silver?
This was a beautiful essay. The first two generation of Pokemon had a certain magic to them; not just because we were children, but also because the internet had not yet evolved into its modern form and the games were so flimsily coded. Some very strange things could happen while a kid was simply playing the game, and lead to amazing stories like this. I really loved reading this one. So long, Jolteon. Your memory will live on.
I believe Azurill was the only one, due to the specific unique quirk of having a different gender ratio from its evolved form.
Are there any species besides Azurill that can change gender when they evolve? Or any oversights/bugs that would cause a Pokémon’s gender to change? It’d be fun to make a party of the little guys XD
Happy to help catch that bug in the guestbook! I was wondering why the page 2 link did that.
Also I'm commenting to build up a party, cool feature!
No, this was a first turn move.
As I said, I know this. However, this says nothing about why this decision was made, only that it was stated in this book. For all we know off that snippet, Game Freak gave them some notes that said this because they were already figuring it worked like that - in fact, that’s what I’m kind of inclined to assume by default, since it seems odd a guidebook would just make up something fairly random and counterintuitive like that out of nowhere, and if the guide had made it up out of nowhere without consulting Game Freak, it seems unlikely Game Freak would have just been like, “Oh, welp, this guidebook made this up out of nowhere, guess we have to do it this way now.” The mere existence of a statement that Nidorina and Nidoqueen can’t have eggs in the guidebook is not evidence of why that decision was made or by whom one way or the other.
Copied it straight from Bulbapedia.
"Nidorina and Nidoqueen's inability to lay Eggs was established by Japanese media before breeding became a game mechanic.
[1]Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、ニドリーナになると、卵を産む能力はなくなる。」 ("It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but upon becoming Nidorina, has lost the ability to lay Eggs.")
[2]ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、卵は産めない。」 ("It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but it cannot lay Eggs.")"
thank you very much for taking the time to write this, i consulted it often over the last couple days as i finished up firered with a friend of mine. :)
