[01:22:29] Jess the Music Meister: I EV train and IV count.
[01:22:38] Rob (Mr.Virus): Grinding up to level 100. . . x.x
[01:22:48] Rob (Mr.Virus): I don't know what that means.
[01:22:49] Jess the Music Meister: Grinding to level 100 isn't this bad
[01:22:49] Rob (Mr.Virus): :x
[01:23:35] Jess the Music Meister: Each time you kill a pok?mon, you get some EV points in one stat. When you get 4 EVs in 1 stat, you get +1 in that stat when you level.
[01:23:58] Jess the Music Meister: Like, a Geodude gives 1 Defense EV. I kill one 4 times, and next level, I'll gain an extra defence point.
[01:25:00] Jess the Music Meister: There's a maximum of 255 EV points a pok?mon can get.
[01:27:15] Jess the Music Meister: IV is the natural bonus a Pok?mon has to it's stats when you catch it. They can have between 0-32 bonus points, and ti's all randomly determined from the moment you see the pok?mon in the wild.
[01:27:23] Jess the Music Meister: As an example,
[01:29:02] Jess the Music Meister: a Pok?mon can attack IV of 16, Defense IV of 20, SP ATTK IV of 5, SP DEF IV of 30, HP IV of 25, and a Speed IV of 10. That means that these numbers are added to the base value of a pok?mon's
[01:29:07] Jess the Music Meister: can have an*
[01:29:30] Jess the Music Meister: pok?mon's stats.
[01:34:07] Rob (Mr.Virus): o.O
[01:34:19] Jess the Music Meister: Why
[01:34:38] Rob (Mr.Virus): So much information. x.x
[01:34:49] Jess the Music Meister: Jess the Music Meister pats your back
[01:36:03] Rob (Mr.Virus): .__.
[01:36:11] Rob (Mr.Virus): Rob (Mr.Virus) forgets everything you just said...
[01:36:19] Rob (Mr.Virus): Rob (Mr.Virus) feels better about pokemon.
[01:36:23] Rob (Mr.Virus): Rob (Mr.Virus) assumes shiny is better.
[01:36:24] Jess the Music Meister: But
[01:36:32] Jess the Music Meister: That's not even true
[01:36:38] Jess the Music Meister: even though Shinys got good IVs,
[01:36:42] Rob (Mr.Virus): SO!? THEY ARE SHINY.
[01:36:46] Rob (Mr.Virus): I HAVE A SHINY PALKIA! D:
[01:36:59] Jess the Music Meister: game mechanics make in Sort Shinies rarely are 32 IVs everywhere
[01:37:14] Rob (Mr.Virus): .__.
[01:37:29] Jess the Music Meister: Shininess is based on IVs.
[01:37:51] Rob (Mr.Virus): YOUR VERSION OF POKEMON HAS TOO MANY NUMBERS. Q_Q
[01:38:01] Rob (Mr.Virus): I just want to own those NPC trainers in the game. x.x
[01:38:11] Jess the Music Meister: That's like Freelancer
[01:38:12] Jess the Music Meister: =P
[01:39:06] Jess the Music Meister: The formula to meet a shiny Pok?mon using the Pok?radar is
[01:39:53] Jess the Music Meister: Shiny= 14747 - 40c/2621440(41-c) , c being the number of Pok?mon in the chain with the pok?radar, up to a maximum of 40.
[01:41:18] Rob (Mr.Virus): I hate math.
[01:41:25] Rob (Mr.Virus): I do not want to do math while playing a game. Q_Q
[01:43:17] Jess the Music Meister: The probability of finding a shiny pok?mon in a normal situation is
[01:43:24] Jess the Music Meister: 8 in 65536; simplified as 1/8192 (2-13, or approximately 0.012207%)

(Pok?mon, it's serious business)
