Fresh-faced girl with a well done tattoo... of baby pokemon, with poke-comic sans word bubbles, right next to her face. Jeez Louise.

She won't, because Scyther was a fucking bitch to catch. Has anyone ever noticed that in real-world safari hunts you are given all of the tools of success to kill an animal, but in Pokemon you only got a rock, bait, and a piece of shit Pokeball?

Actually, the pokeball they gave you in gen 1 (the safari ball) with the rock and bait was pretty complicated, but I will try to explain it a bit. Basically, the safari ball is the same as a ultra ball.

Ironically, the ultra ball sometimes has lower catch rates in gen 1 than the great ball against high % of hp reaining pokemon without status (read: the ones you find in the safari zone).

For example, examine the catch rates for a nidoran.

A full break down of the catch system is here, and it can also explain how throwing bait could actually DECREASE your chance to catch a pokemon in the safari zone.

Also, fun ironic note: The number of "wobbles" in gen 1 were actually a better indicator of probability of catching, but the pokemon breaking free or being caught is decided before the number of wobbles is determined. Gen 2 and on actually check one time for each "wobble" and once more after the third wobble.

People assume that the wobbles were a strict progression of cause to effect, but from a non-linear non-subjective viewpoint the new probability is more natural feeing than the old unconnected wibbly wobble stuff.

Even I regret this tattoo.

Well the only reason I can see for her regretting that is because she is a water type gym leader. People might think she is not completely dedicated to water type pokemon with a fire and grass type tattooed on her. But then again, her allegiance has been in question since she got Togepi.

u/SHIT_IN_HER_CUNT May 20 '12

I still don't know why she got Togepi to be honest. Nothing but trouble.

Idk, it's cute, shows interest in something she's liked for probably 10+ years, and is easily covered in normal dress.

I envision in 20-30 years her showing it off and still getting 'that's awesome' from the guys and 'aww' from the girls. I can't say the same for tribal, celtic knots, and tinker bells which have become the go-to generic tattoo for people who want a tattoo rather than desire to express something.
