Gotta Random.org 'Em All!


ImageWHAT IS IT?

"Gotta Random' All" is a sort of collection game/thing to do on VDex that I thought up recently. Basically, you head over to random.org, input a range of 1 - 150, find the Pokemon that goes by that number (in the first generation, obviously) and collect it! You basically hunt the randomised Pokemon of all its sprites and record them in your post or in a collection. Read below for a more in-depth guide if you are interested! You can hunt for multiple targets at once, if you would like too!

Wild helpful user appeared! Morranr made a small randomiser over here which easily generates a random number and the Pokemon assigned to it!

ImageRULES AND GUIDELINES AND STUFF

You must be the OT of all the Pokemon you catch: you are unable to purchase or be gifted certain sprites, as the whole aim of this is to search for the yourself

If your number turns out to be a Pokemon you already have a vast collection of (ie Slowpokes, for me) you are free to re-roll. However, if you do decide to stay with that Pokemon, you cannot add any pre-caught Pokemon to your hunt checklist. This also applies to all hunts, as all Pokemon caught must be dated after your first post

Breeding is a not allowed, as some hunters may not own an Everstone or the funds to acquire Brightpowder

Please be truthful and stick with the first Pokemon that you get, unless its allowed to be re-rolled (see below). I cant enforce this, but its better to get something random then constantly refreshing for something you "like"

ImageHITTING LEGENDARY/EVENTMON/STARTERS

If your number falls upon #137 (Porygon) or #145 (Zapdos) you are free to reroll, though some may want to take up the challenge! I've removed Mew, as its summon is rarely given out only via site events and you would be unable to obtain them regardless, because you need to be the OT.

Starters and their respected evolutions can also be re-rolled or kept.

ImageSHINIES AND GREENS

Greens are very difficult to find, as many well know, so you CAN leave these out of your hunt if you would like, though its advised not to do so. This is only really neccisary if you dont have much time to spend on VDex or not enough patience (/r-raises hand)

For shinies, any generation sprite will do. Shinies are much easier to hunt then Greens, but you are also free to leave these out also for the above reasons.

ImageBW/BACKMON

Also optional, though if the Pokemon is obtainable in Unova, then hunting for its BW sprite is somewhat required

ImageTIERS

Certain Pokemon are easier to find, catch and collect. Some users may roll and get stuck with a Pokemon with the easiest catch rate of all time, and others may end up with a Pokemon that has to be hunted at night, have a 10% catch rate, evolved twice and traded! So, Pokemon are sorted into Tiers. Tiers have no real effect really, but you can display that you completed a Pokemon from "X" Tier. I don't really want to add "rewards" or anything, as this is best done at your own pace, but I might sprite up some trophies or something so you can feel proud. naww.

CLICK FOR TIERS
Spoiler: show
lol soon


ImageRECORDING DATA

Use your original first post to display, track, date, whatever! Use my post below's template, or come up with your own! Dress it up with images and stuff, I know a lot of VDex Members are very stylish with their posts!

Also, a collection would be pretty cool!

Do adopted Pokemon count for this :o? Also, can we catch preevolutions and evolve them.. or do we only hunt for the specific number we rolled? I rolled Raichu and it.. doesn't have a very nice appearance compared to pikachu >>

Evolving is fine! Adopting is also fine, but good luck finding sprites other then HGSS/2 in there!

#54 which is Psyduck.

This should be fun. I'm sad that I didn't roll #60. If you rolled #60 YOU ARE A LUCKY BUB

Psyduck, the Duck Pokémon. Overwhelmed by enigmatic abilities, it suffers a constant headache. It sometimes uses mysterious powers.


Psyduck's catch rates:
63.3% using a Pokéball
95% using a Great Ball
100% with an Ultra Ball

Appearence Rate Highest(excluding Safari Zone)
Resort Area(Sinnoh)- 95%
Twinleaf Town(Sinnoh)- 90%
Celestic Town(Sinnoh)- 90%
Route 204(Sinnoh)- 90%
Route 212(Sinnoh)- 90%
Lake Verity(Sinnoh)- 90%

Daily progress
Spoiler: show
Day 1:
  • Oh jeez their catch rate here we go
Day 2:
  • Caught my 4th (Hemera) so far, not even using my ultra ball ; u;
  • Okay this is becoming frustrating, I've failed to catch a R/B, Pt, Pt2, Gold, and Yellow one already today >:|
  • Hephaestus (derpy looking Pt frame 2 dratini) got ID #2377000 I just thought I'd share that tidbit
Day 3:
  • NO PROGRESS
  • But oh my god I just noticed the image on the first post this is me right now
Day 4:
  • Caught that R/B sprite I missed on day 2!! freddiemercury.jpg
  • And I ran out of Homestuck denizens to name them after so I'm going to resort to actual greek mythology from now on
  • Flipped out when I caught Thalassa because I thought it was a shiny. Turns out FRLG just has weird coloration :/
  • Started playing a game: counting the number of Dratini until I find a retro (of any sort). Statistically, it would average at around 100 because of the 1% chance, right? My record is 327. There is a 3.7% (.99^327) chance of that occurring each session. Which is...still higher than the chance of finding a retro on each click.
  • I think I'm going to take a break for today . _.;;
Day 5:
  • All this not-progress I'm making is building up a good collection of retros I can probably sell later so I guess that's a good thing
Day 6:
  • Switched to Lyrit the other day, worth a mention. Makes for slightly easier catches I suppose.
  • Tried to switch it up a little by going to Dragon's Den, since it has a 10% of finding Dragonairs themselves rather than just Dratini. Just ended up with a bunch of D/P/Pt Magikarp. Those probably don't sell for nearly as much as retro Dratini do, so I went back to Dragonspiral :(
  • LOOK MY POST IS FANCY NOW i'm so bored orz
Day 7:
  • EVOLVINS EVERYWHERE
Day 9:
  • I was going to make an update about how there's been no progress lately but OH LOOK A RUBY/SAPPHIRE DRATINI
  • Only Yellow, Gold, Silver, Emerald, and DP2 to go!
  • I've missed the Yellow dratini like 3 times already though, and the Gold one maybe twice. Darn you catch rate.
  • More math! Among the remaining 5 retros (as of this update), I have a 1 in 660 chance of finding one with each Dratini I encounter. And with a 70% encounter rate, that rounds out to more like 1 in 942 refreshes. And with my catch rate at 45/300, but with Lyrit at approximately 75ish friendship (guessing), and using an ultra ball, that's a ~42% chance of catching one. So that means 1 in every 2224 pokemon encountered at the highest encounter rate for dratini, I'd make progress!! Isn't math fun?!!?
  • I need to take a break again
Day 10:
  • At least I think it's Day 10. I've been busy; I lost track.
  • Finally caught a DP2 sprite! That took way too long for some reason.
  • Just Yellow, Gold, and Silver to go.
  • Let's do more math, because I suck like that! Only three of the more rare retros to go, and Lyrit is at somewhere between 101-150 affection. Let's go with 125.
    • Chance of finding one of them per Dratini: 1 in 1176
    • Chance of finding one per refresh: 1 in 1681
    • Chance to catch a Dratini (Ultra Ball and Lyrit@125): 142/300 (47.2%)
    • Chance to find and catch a retro Dratini per refresh: 1 in 2490
  • brb crying
Day 11:
  • Weird that shortly after catching my first Emerald Dratini, I catch a second one. Oh well, not complaining. Other than that, no progress today.
  • I'm starting to wonder what I'm going to do with all of them after I'm done though. I would sell the repeats and sprite gallery the unique ones, but... I'm kind of growing attached to my collection . -.
Day 14:
  • I missed a shiny HGSS today. All of my cries.
Day 15:
  • And then it dawned on me. I have way too many Dratini.
  • They've almost filled up a box on their own.
Day 17:
  • Included all the duplicate dratini in the collection as well, and just sorted by species and sprite type.
  • Not a real update.
Day 18:
  • Traded away 5 of my duplicate Dratini to LightFlareDragon ; u;
  • Also not a real update
Day 20:
  • Lyrit is maxed now - took a break to wait in Kanto to get the Red Scale. Getting back to fishing forever now ; u;
Day... uhhhh... Not even sure anymore:
  • I'm probably not going to continue. I got far, but I have less time in the day to refresh a whole not now. I made it 80% of the way, and I count that as a minor victory!
