    There Were 190 Pokémon!

    There are two other reasons why I think no more than 151 Pokemon were ever inserted: 1) As far as the data of the games shows, the only kind of unique data assigned to a few (9/39) of those empty slots is a cry. And if they didn't bother removing this unused cry data before release, it seems...

    with real time ACE yes, but it's very tedious to set up and what you can do with it is set the active pokemon in battle (whichever Pokemon it is) to a type, until you disable the effect (but you can't manipulate it during battle)

    Hi, neither of the two things you are asking are possible since they are inherent to the Pokemon or move (actually, in RBY the type pair is part of the pokemon struct, but not anymore in gsc since it was redundant). I think it might be possible to use real time ACE to hijack the player used move...

    15/15/15/15 DVs are impossible (in most cases)

    Yes, in this case the hRandomSub read is irrelevant to the DVs generated later through hRandomAdd for the reasons you're stating. It's the map's encounter rate what limits the spread. The thing about GSC is that, as you say, the option to resort to Sweet Scent gets rid of the dependency with...

    There Were 190 Pokémon!

    Some relevant things and/or personal conclusions (read OP first): - Those 39 Pokemon were probably never part of the game at all. They probably created numbered designs at a faster pace and inserted the Pokemon into the game as they felt like, respecting the numeration of the designs, hence the...

    Gen 2 PS Development - Post bugs here

    I think doipy hooves argument here is that link battle Crystal mechs should be favored over regular battle Crystal mechs, which I do agree with. Granted it's not a relevant enough mechanic for the most part to be labelled as a priority.

    All Gens Gorgie. [Old Gens Team Dump]

    So 10 years later we still haven't managed to save Smogon on a floppy disk, but at least we've now saved Floppy on a Smogon thread.

    Gen 2 Improving Gen 2 Random Battles on PS!

    As you are suggesting, the main reason keeping NFEs from being added to GSC randbats is lack of people interested on working on it. I spent a lot of time polishing the movesets of FEs, and I just don't have the time or motivation to go through it for NFEs too. I do agree that the inclusion of...

    Gen 2 Improving Gen 2 Random Battles on PS!

    Levels are tier based. All OU's are at level 68 while all NU's are at level 78. Typical NU Pokemon don't peak at level 100 in order to fit the weaker Unown and possibly NFEs in the future, just like in RBY. Do you really think the gap between top and bottom tiers should be bigger? I don't think...

    Freeze Clause Removed from Gen1 Random Battle

    To be honest it's just irrelevant. It doesn't remotely make the tier uncompetitive let alone change it for the most part. I don't think that we should make a big deal out of this, consistency across tiers of the same generation is just as valid as an argument to keep Freeze Clause on, but the...

    I almost forgot, it's covered in detail here: https://www.dragonflycave.com/mechanics/gen-i-capturing Actually, some of the things I said above may be wrong but the point is that each wobble is not an individual capture check.

    I don't know the details but the waggles are computed separately from the capture check assuming the later is not passed. There's a single random number generated for the capture check, which is compared to the wild mon's "catch rate" value factoring on its HP, status, ball modifier, etc. Then...
