    So you know how you all thought the attack algorithm was completed after you choose the attack? Well I think that was changed in Platinum.

    So I'm fighting Fantina. She is about to send out a Haunter. I currently have a Grotle that I plan to use bite to rape it with, I keep him out. Haunter uses a successful hypnosis

    Now me being underlevelled, I decided to try my luck with a savestate. It's my only pokemon that can even scratch her. I reloaded the savestate FIFTY times from the "Do you want to change pokemon" message. EVERY SINGLE TIME, that fucking Haunter landed a perfect Hypnosis. 60 accuracy. That is bullshit out of 50 attempts.

    Oh but it didn't end there. I used some switching tactics to get around that fucking Hunater and she goes to send out Mismagius. At this point I don't trust the game to calculate on the fly so I make a savestate. EVERY SINGLE TIME WITHOUT FAIL, if I switched to Ponyta to put on a Fire Spin, it would land a successful Confuse Ray, and I would get hurt in confusion. Out of FIFTY tries.

    This is a total of 100 examples of absolute horse shit. The game should not be calculating attacks, attack hit %, and status probabilities that fucking early. There is no goddamn excuse.

    But here's what threw me for a loop: On the fiftieth try (holding in a burning sun's worth of rage) I switch off to my Machop. She uses fucking Psybeam. A completely different attack.

    SO THE GAME IS NOT CALCULATING EARLY IT'S JUST CHEATING.

    Update. After disassembling the game, apparently it seeds a random number to a 32-bit variable when you power it on. It uses that random number to calculate all of your probabilities. Motherfuck.

    Yeah, apparently if you want the future to change you have to power off the DS and then power it back on. What the fuck. I think I saw something that recalculated the variable when the time change officially made it Morn -> Day -> Eve -> Night.

    So from that one 32-bit variable that's seeded, it calculates everything. Basically the next move is always precalculated and it's just going on blind uncertainty. I would much rather it calculate shit as it happens.
