As a stats teacher, it makes me very happy to see that Chris and Shen have intuitively discovered the difference between continuous and discrete numerical scales
I get the idea of needing to beat the rival, but Shen's hypothetical situation of "farming losses against rival 1" is a little ridiculous. Obviously that would be super lame and you'd just call off the race if someone was trying to do that.
Seems like the best question to start with should be something like, "Is the pokemon at the end of its evolution line?" or perhaps "Can this pokemon evolve?" That would rule out a lot of pokemon whichever answer you get.
theoretically, the best (safest) questions would always eliminate exactly half. the first few races they did they just started with questions like those, but they started doing more random and risky questions because its more fun.
Is there information somewhere as to what randomizer and settings you use? (I mean, what you randomize and in what way?) Or how to read that information on the start?
For the record, there are no Pokemon that went from being able to be hatched from an egg to not. Pokemon like Marill and Snorlax are still hatchable even in later gens (they require incense for their baby forms, otherwise you get Marill/Snorlax). Nidoran Female and Illumise are hatchable, but in Gen 2-4, only by breeding a Nidoran Female or Illumise. I guess if you count certain weird ones, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Magmar, Electabuzz, Jynx, Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Clefairy were hatchable from eggs in certain side games. (Mostly GO, aside from the birds, which are Snap, lol.)
Out of interest. Does ad watch-time matter for what you get paid. I tend to be less skipquick when watching videos from channels i feel i need to support just a small bit more. So. Does that even matter?
An ultratroll is a Pokémon with only a single possibility of aquiring it. (Catching it) Anything that can be aquired via other ways (evolution, hatching) is not an ultratroll.
