b/w have the xtransiver for the dsi, and if they had a system with alot more power, why not use it? people were surprised about b/w being on the ds.

people won't want to get a game that has been last gen for months or a year, and that itself would destroy sales.

So what? If anything, making it 3DS exclusive would hurt sales - as not everyone who plays Pokemon will want one. I could see 3DS exclusive features, but not a completely exclusive game.



Even exclusive features seem unlikely, as Black and White have no DSi exclusive features.



Eventually, I'm sure they'll move to the 3DS, but I doubt that will be anytime soon.

but game freak wouldn't release it on the ds because by the time they would have put it on the ds, the 3ds would already be a year into the market. Game freak had special priorities with the 3ds, and they might have pokemon grey for the 3ds already in the works, if that new pokemon game is a main series one.

Ace Attorney vs. Layton is 3DS only? Okay, yes, then, if that comes out this year.



Why on earth do you think Pokémon Gray would be 3DS-exclusive? Black and White aren't even DSi-exclusive. At most Gray could have 3DS enhancements. There's no way it would be an exclusive.

Not unless there's a 3DS-only game that I desperately want for some reason.

Im not sure if this qualifies as important but….





Do you plan on getting a 3ds this year?

Yeah, for the hell of it I made it include a silly phrase about how close the wobble estimate is to the actual chance. Maybe I should cap it at 100%, though.

This looks really, really, awesome.



*goes off to ponder its deeper meaning*

Kevin: I think "rather poorly" is referring to the accuracy of the game's estimation (170% vs. 100% is quite off) rather than the actual catch rate.

[24/02/2011 21:57:24]

Kevin

Sorry for the triple post, but I was playing with the Catch Rate Calculator, and I put in Caterpie (CR 255), Ultra Ball, 0% HP, asleep, and it gave me:



100% chance per ball, approximately 1 balls needed on average.

The game estimates your chances, rather poorly, to be around 170%. If the capture fails, the ball will wobble 3 times. "Shoot! It was so close too!"



Rather poorly? 170%?

[24/02/2011 21:12:02]

Kevin

…Wait, I just misread it. Ignore my previous comment.

[24/02/2011 17:59:32]

Kevin

"Second of all, lowering a Pokémon's HP below one third has no effect at all on its catch rate. If you're using Great Balls, in fact, lowering it anywhere below half will have no effect on its catch rate."



That sounds really weird, the way it's phrased sounds like it should be different.

Because submitting a post requires more processing?

Hey, why are the forums more likely to give 500's if you're submitting a post?

I sooo need to read Butterfree's guide to Voltorb Flip.

I thought this site would reach four million later spring.





I was wrong. And I'm glad of it.

Happy 4 mil, guys.

You'll see that when it's up. I've already worked out the actual system; it's just a matter of distributing the Pokémon across the days.
