You should add an options for the Nest Ball/Level Ball that lets you put your Pokémon’s level.

It is with immense gratitude that I reflect on the importance of this website in my life. Since I discovered it, it has become an invaluable source of information and resources that have helped me in many areas. The wealth of content available is truly impressive, and with each visit, I feel inspired by the new knowledge I acquire. The interactions with other users are also extremely valuable, as they provide an environment for collaborative learning. In such a dynamic world, where it is easy to feel lost or uninformed, having access to a space that promotes the exchange of ideas and personal growth is a true gift. Therefore, expressing my gratitude for this website is just one way of acknowledging the positive impact it has had on my journey.

About May and Max's names and Hoenn remakes being released directly after X and Y versions: May and Max have identical names in English, except for the last letters (X and Y). On reddit, I remember someone jokingly mentioning this as a conspiracy.

@Gabimendas: That's already an option; when you select Repeat Ball, a checkbox appears below it that says "Do you have this Pokémon registered in your Pokédex?"

Gabimendas

We should have the option on the repeat ball to select "have you caught this pokemon before?"

See you added gender differences. Good.

That's so sad :(

This is such a good theory

kind of cool that you made the Tao trio before they existed

Great essay. I've always loved your writing (I'm pretty sure that's how I found this site many years ago, by looking for interesting and well-written fanfics). I sympathize with the loss of the original Jolteon. Though I haven't played any Pokémon games in years, at the time I was also attached to my teams in the various cartridges I had.

Do you agree that the supermarket's attempts to trademark Iceland is the worst trademark attempt ever? And how do you think it would affect the country if the supermarket did manage to get the trademark?

The Ultra Ball has a lower catch rate than the Great Ball under certain conditions, such as when the Pokémon is at full health or has a high catch rate. Under other conditions, Ultra Balls are better. You can see the Gen I Capture Mechanics page for an explanation of how it works and the ability to generate graphs of how the odds of capture change for the different balls as you lower the Pokémon's HP.

So the ultra ball has a lower catch rate than the great ball in gen 1? or is it miswritten?

@Steven Mattero: In FR/LG, the mechanics work a little bit differently; in particular, the effects of bait and rocks are no longer nearly as drastic. You can find more info on Bulbapedia. I haven't yet actually made a page or calculator for that version of the Safari Zone - it might be interesting to do so.

Steven Mattero

Do you know if the overall strategy would differ for Gen III (FR/LG)? You mentioned that the Safari ball rng was messed up for Gen I, but I'm not sure if that would alter the optimal strategies or just improve your odds overall.

Steven Mattero

Found your page, u can just delete both these comments.
Btw you rock! Thank you for this!

Steven Mattero

Hi im wondering how the Safari Zone Machanics affect the catch rate? Would throwing a rock be equivalent to HP of 50% ? But throwing bait and no rock is having the opposite affect I believe. I couldn't find any precise info on this…

This reminds me of the Detective Pikachu games, the Pokemon Stadium games, and fostering a pet. I'm kind of surprised the narrator didn't give the Pidgey a nickname, though - she's just Pidgey.
