    Togetic i think can fall to "Uncommon Singles", on 5th Island(Kanto) you can found it through lure encounters. I can confirm as i'm  founding some while BURNING PAY DAY PP UNTIL FIND ZAPDOS.

    Its purely a lure, its about 4% encounter rate. Not uncommon

    I don't see why it's something that should be forced on players, though. If some players want an extra challenge, they can use it. If others don't want it, they don't have to.

    Because it impacts the in-game economy. Easier fights = more inflation. Inflation = bad for game health

    Random hatch btw, i buy "nice iv" pokemon and just breed for fun

     

    A prime case of why to make sure your ot dex is done before doing things like this. Will use this as an example for others, ty

    Wouldn't you put Snorlax and sudowoodo lines in regular egg hunts? I'm pretty sure you need incenses to get their baby forms. Mr. Mime and mime jr should also go into egg hunts because those are rare/lure single encounters well? This is an interesting list so far!

    Sudowoodo should be in single encounter, Really nice phase at several good single spots in sinnoh, like route 210

  5. The baby eggs tier seems incredibly weird. Having rares like riolu, munchlax, togetic and tyrogue lines in the same tier as a mon that you can breed down from a 5 horde.
    Also weird to see mons is rarer tiers when the easiest way to obtain them is evolve/breeding down their horde. Bisharp, breloom and yanmega in the same tier as Jellicent, Swoobat, scrafty and grimer for example.

    I just started playing again after a while, and was disappointed to find that there's a limit to the number of items you can use in a single battle--this was in a boss battle in the story. I'm assuming it was intended for PvP, but presumably it could be disabled for PvE. Or at least make it a toggleable setting.

    Its only inteded for pve, there is no item use in PVP. Its for balancing reasons so you cant just spam items to work your way through the game. Means you actually have to use some sort of skill to get through the game

    Also, I love the fact he's just linked a random blog post, it's an opinion piece. Not even any sort of mathematical or scientific paper. Even if he did read it properly he'd come across this quote:
     

    Quote

    For a data source to be Type 4 random, it must be martingale random and it must come from a sequence that is not only unknown, but priori unknowable. If Type 4 randomness exists, then God plays dice; randomness is “baked in” to the universe.
    I suspect that if Type 4 randomness really does exist, then it will be impossible to prove.

    He's asking the devs to implement something that isn't even provably existent.
    I'd recommend he reads

    Kolmogorov, Andrei N., and Vladimir A. Uspenskii. "Algorithms and randomness." Theory of Probability & Its Applications 32.3 (1988): 389-412.
    Kendall, Maurice G. "A theory of randomness." Biometrika
     32.1 (1941): 1-15.
    but these might be significantly above his levels of understanding.

    No this thread should be renamed as PokeMMO people discovers the difference between seudo random  and real random algorithms.

    The fact that you don't even know it's spelt pseudorandom and the technical term is true random not "real" random. Tells you a bit about his knowledge of the subject. 
    Also, these "pseudorandom" algorithms used within the game are 1. indistinguishable from true random ones to the human brain, even modern sophisticated AI would struggle to determine the difference. 2.  Impossible to reverse engineer and manipulate due to the number and complexity of variables in play. 
    Even these "true random algorithms" rely on processes like thermal (the idea behind using lava lamps for encryption) or atmospheric noise which are technically predictable just significantly more complex and completely unneeded for a game like this. Even if "true" random were to be used, five shinies in 1 day isn't even that unlikely. If doing 18 hours of leppa 5 hordes, your chance of getting 5 or more shinies is about 0.4%.

    X ~ B(25200,0.000041) x=5 Pr(X=x)=0.00425 or 0.425% 

    Statistically anomalous? sure. Impossible? certainly not.
