>>52560499I'm a city slicker and I can confirm that FUCK PACIFIDLOG IN PARTICULAR.
YOU WANNA KNOW WHY? IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT FUCKING HOUSE IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER. YEAH, THE ONE THAT HAS THAT OLD MAN WHO CHECKS IF MIRAGE ISLAND IS HERE OR NOT.
WHY? BECAUSE THAT FUCKING ISLAND HAS THE ONLY LOCATION IN GEN 3 FOR LIECHI BERRIES, WHICH ARE NEEDED FOR POKEBLOCKS FOR PERFECT CONTEST STATS IN GEN 3. WHICH YOU CANNOT REROLL.
MIRAGE ISLAND ITSELF ONLY APPEARS IF THE FIRST TWO BYTES OF A POKEMON'S PERSONALITY VALUE IN YOUR PARTY MATCH THE RANDOM LUCKY NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 65535 THAT THE GAME ROLLS EVERY DAY ON DAY CHANGE, LOCKED IN AT FIRST SAVE. THIS MEANS YOU HAVE A 1/65535 CHANCE OF FINDING MIRAGE ISLAND PER POKEMON PER DAY, OR A 0.0015259% CHANCE. WITH A FULL PARTY THIS INCREASES TO 0.00915541%. IN GEN 3 THERE ARE 14 STORAGE BOXES OF 30 POSSIBLE POKEMON, MEANING THE MOST AMOUNT OF POKEMON YOU CAN HAVE IS 426: 420 IN STORAGE PLUS THE 6 IN YOUR PARTY. IF YOU SHOWED THE OLD MAN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE 426 POKEMON YOU'D HAVE A 0.65003433% CHANCE OF SEEING MIRAGE ISLAND THAT DAY.
HALF OF A FUCKING PERCENT CHANCE. WHICH LEAVES YOU TWO OPTIONS:
1. LET THE DAY ROLL OVER, THEN SHOW ALL 420+ POKEMON WITHOUT SAVING, AND IF NO SUCCESS POWER THE CONSOLE OFF AND ON AND DO IT AGAIN. THIS MEANS NO SAVE WARPING BACK TO THE BOX.
2. SHOW THE OLD MAN ALL 420+ POKEMON, USING SAVES TO WARP BACK TO THE PC TO QUICKLY SWAP YOUR PARTY. YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS METHOD ONCE PER REAL LIFE DAY.
WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM? BECAUSE YOU CAN'T FUCKING BIKE IN PACIFIDLOG TOWN!!! YOU CAN ONLY WALK, AND SLOWLY AT THAT! SO FUCK YOU, IT TAKES FOREVER TO DO THIS, JUST FOR ONE FUCKING LIECHI BERRY. AND IF YOU WANT TO SURF TO SHORTCUT THEN YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH POKEMON BATTLES TOO.
FUCK PACIFIDLOG TOWN. I HOPE KYOGRE DROWNS IT BENEATH THE RAIN.
