I"M CALLING BULLSHIT ON SO CALLED "ENCOUNTER RATES" The computer is fucking cheating again!
So I'm playing Diamond and grinding a little before the E4. I'm surfing on route 223 right outside victory road, and the encounter rates are SUPPOSED to be 60% Tentacruel and 30% Pelipper (also 10% Mantyke, but that's irrelevant to my post).
While I'm training my Pachirisu I'm probably getting around 90% Tenta and 10% Pelipper. Tentacruel takes 2 PP to kill, while Pelipper only takes 1 because of the 4x Electric weakness.
Anyway, Pachirisu reaches my desired level, so I decide to switch to Bronzong.
Bronzong has a Phsychic move. Tentacreul is weak to Psychic and only takes 1 PP to KO. Pelipper takes two PP to knock out.
I've encountered 99% pelippers since switching to Bronzong.
I am further convinced that the AI manipulates the gameplay to fuck the player over.
