Read and laugh at the misinformed casual.

God. This person hasn't done their research at all. I can't believe I'm saying this... but. Thank you, Joe. Thank Arceus we have you.

This must be bait. If you read the article, you'd see the amount of shit it has wrong. Unless.... you're also a misinformed casual. Which wouldn't surprise me since /vp/ is now filled with autistic children.

Yeah, it's fairly bad. Still, deciding what parts are worse than others is pretty hard. It's all crap.

Not really. If you can't tell what's wrong, you're stupid, and don't deserve to know. It's common sense.

How do they let these things on? Certainly someone over there isn't brain dead. Why even post about Pokemon if you're going to half ass it and give wrong information?

It's polygon dude what did you expect. They probably also released an article about how pokemon S/M is sexist because there are male characters in the game.

The only things in there that were actually factually wrong were:
>1/8192 chance
Which used to be true and is an understandable mistake.
>that it takes 255 steps to hatch an egg
Which is obviously just the writer misunderstanding the egg cycle or whatever that's called, where it triggers a chance for an egg to appear at the daycare and adds to an existing egg's hatch counter. Totally fair misinterpretation. They probably had someone explain it to them and the other person did a poor job.

Beyond that it's just a couple of poorly phrased sentences and fluff. Nothing offensive, certainly. It's aimed at people who don't play the games, so it's all about the hype and trying to relate that to the readers, but it also provides some (sort of) informative videos so that players who become interested have somewhere to go for more info. Decent article.

If anything, OP is a faggot for giving them page views.

You don't soft reset eggs, that's not how it works. The Pokemon data is already generated, it's just in egg form. It's like saying you reset your game and hope some of your party or PC turns shiny

Verlisify learned from the best. Once people like OP learn to stop falling for such bait and being just as unintelligent as the people who believe it, only then will we rid ourselves of the cancer.

255 Steps is just a single egg cycle. It takes multiple egg cycles to hatch an egg.

I wish

Nope.

Apart from those two not much wrong apart from how the authour's phrasing marks him as an obvious amateur to the whole thing, but only those two things were blatantly wrong I believe.

Also, I forgot the shiny encounter rate isn't 1/8000 anymore, its 1/4000~ and the article doesn't mention the shiny charm at all apart from vaguely referring to it in passing at the start.

The writer was likely nearing a deadline and needed to produce any old hot garbage, so after hearing about the popularity of 'Pokemon' decided to search reddit for material.

Modern "news" media is just circulating links and rewording them. Do you know how many times I've seen these fucks jam "apparently" at the beginning of their sentences then link to another article? That's the level of professionalism of the modern journalist. I would say it's their job to be informative, but it' really not. They get paid to get clicks.

Any random from /vp/ could have written a better article, guaranteed, and that's not glowing praise for the writing level of this board.
