@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?"

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

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.

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.

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.

Similar thing happened playing a legit copy of HeartGold. The button for the radio on the Pokégear disappeared completely after obtaining the expansion card from Lavender Town's Radio Tower. Tapped the spot where it would be and nothing happened. The worst part was I didn't realize it had happened until I went to wake up the Snorlax outside of Vermillion City, since I never thought to check after finishing the Radio Tower shenanigans.

Now I feel the urge to dig through old Discord messages to find out if I took any photos.

The Icelandic news has followed the adventures of Iceland the supermarket chain trying to trademark the name of our country, yeah. It's all a bit absurd.

[20/11/2024 14:33:45]

Ben

Have you heard about a supermarket chain that keeps trying to trademark the word "Iceland"? They trademarked it temporarily in 2016, before it got removed. But the supermarket chain are still trying to get the trademark back?

Does this story make the news in Iceland regularly?
