ITT: Memes that need to die. >THE MASTER BALL CAN FAIL

Even as a Red fag this is annoying.

But it actually can due to a bug, if memory serves me right it's 1 in 256 occurence but it exists. Who gives a fuck anyway, you can catch the fucker with a regular ball.

Isn't the Master Ball's success rate 99.6% in RGBY due to the 1/256 bug that also affects the accuracy of moves?

>>32746112
yes

>>32746045
But that's actually true you stupid genwunner.

>>32746108
>>32746112
It's a myth. It would require the Pokemon to have a catch rate of 1 or 2, which doesn't exist. Hence why there's no real evidence of it happening -- it's all bad theory.

However, it can happen in Gens III & IV

This is due to a glitch in the catch rate calculation, so it has nothing to do the Pokemon you are trying to catch, its current HP, or any other factor. The error is due to the use of a ≥ instead of a >.

In order to catch a Pokemon, the game performs four separate checks. In any situation where you ought to have a 100% catch rate, there’s actually a 1/65536 chance that this check will fail. This gives the master ball a 99.994% success rate.

In generation V and later, this glitch was fixed

It literally cannot fail, you dumb cunts. For one, it doesn't use the same move accuracy formula, and for two, it bypasses the formula anyway.
I'm sick and tired of seeing this spouted as fact when there isn't even video proof of it happening. Go ahead, show me any recorded evidence of the Gen1 Master Ball failing. I'll wait.

Game Freak could staple the Pokemon name on a shit-filled box and it'd still get 10 million sales.

It can fail in Generation 2 against some of the glitch Pokemon. More precisely, one of the question marks variants in Crystal, if memory serves right.

do you even have the master ball before you get there ?

>>32748727
Not without sequence breaking or glitching.

>>32748859
Or, y'know, by storing the Silph Scope on the item storage system of the PC.

How the fuck would a real genwunner, who would have played these games a thousand times over, not be aware of the existence of that bug you retarded little shit?

>>32748089
Likely mostly the first. Any trace of the second was most likely because you asked it to be presented in that way.

>>32746045
The master ball can fail in gen 1 if you throw it at Ghost Marrowak

Gen One is literally inside Gen Two therefore it's objectively better.

>>32750746
At least those games were finished. Sun and Moon clearly were completely unfinished.

>>32746401
That miltank is the only reason I ever had to use a potion in my Feraligatr only run of crystal.

>>32746401
I know right? I beat her literally only using a pineco.

>>32750799
Take off the nostalgia goggles.
Red/Blue, and especially Japanese Red/Green were even more unfinished. Japan even got the "updated" Blue, as well as Yellow.
Ruby/Sapphire were severly unfinished as well, and so were Diamond/Pearl. Both of these "upgrades" feature updated and expanded unfinished maps, included missing mons (ditto in R/S, an actually finished 'dex in D/P, as well as other things), fixed tilesets and sprites, and pretty much included all the "unfinished" versions lacked.

>>32750893
Nice revisionist history. Yellow was never supposed to exist, Game Freak only released it because Gold and Silver were delayed. And Blue was originally released exclusively to subscribers of CoroCoro, it took until 1999 for it to become available to everyone.

>>32750746
Your logic is shit

just vecause they did something shit before doesn't mean they can do that same shitty thing again

Also

>platinum

What?

Platinum made gen 4 good,dp were both heavily flawed and platinum fixed that

go and play pokemon, maybe you can catch a pikachu!!!! it's the most powerful pokemon rite?

>>32746401

This is true for maybe the first time you've ever touched Gen 2 and even then, you'd have to be 8 or 9.

Past those times and you are STILL believing that, you're a fucking moron. Holy shit playing SS I was blown away how easy as fuck she was.

>>32751464
>implying Digimon beats Pokémon outside the anime
With the current evolution of both franchises, they're in the process of doing it. Digimon has been on a streak with some good games, while Pokémon is doing the opposite.

>>32751490

>that bad World game they released this year
>Cyber Sleuth being anything other than "okay"

I never got the hype for Cyber Sleuth, that game was fucking piss easy and the story was pretty bland.

>>32751490
yeah, gotta love how Digimon copies Pokémon, especially with the two versions released in the DS era after Pokémon Diamond and Pearl came out

Digimon fags tbqh senpai

>>32746191
>gen 4 sold roughly 7.37 million units (lets say about 30% actually used their master ball since a lot of people never made it that far or just saved their ball)
>therefore, around 67 people in the entire who played generation 4 have had the master ball fail on them

>>32751096
>Platinum made gen 4 good,dp were both heavily flawed and platinum fixed that

I know this is unlikely with GF's current agenda, but there is still the possibility it will be the case now as well.

Minus the cutscene hell, this shit is definitely to stay.
