You'd end up with something around 520,000 different Eevees.
And if we started calculating the number of possible combinations of evolutions, abilities, and natures, the number would start reaching towards the billions.
^^^ -34 doesn't work at that point. It only covers two of the huge amount. Pretty sure, anyways
No, it does.
No, wait, it doesn't. It's 17 times 17 times 17, minus 17 times 17.
4913 - 272.
Same goes for the next step up. 83,521 - 4913.
Bluh, wait, I think that is wrong.
It would be closer to minus 17 times 16, I think.
Look, it's a fuckin huge number, OK. Reaching up around 165,000.
Let's just go through each one one by one. We'll EVENTUALLY get it right!
OH GOD
IN GEN 1 THE NUMBER OF PHYSICAL TYPES AND THE NUMBER OF SPECIAL TYPES WERE THE EXACT SAME
WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY DARK WAS MADE SPECIAL - BECAUSE STEEL HAD TO BE PHYSICAL
ALSO SHIFT KEY IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!
I rage quitted, losing three turns of progress (about half an hour to 45 minutes). Why?
"I'll heal all my fucking health! Then use this potion! Then eat your fucking super potions!"
Fuck that warlord SO hard...!
Take an Eevee.
There are 17 types to evolve into (I'm guessing you're counting either Normal or ???), so that's 17 __eons.
There are 16 types beyond the one it evolved to, so that's 272 __eoneons.
There are 15 other types, so 4080 __eoneoneons.
14 other types, 57120 __eoneoneoneons.
So that's 57120+4080+272+17+1 = 61490 members in the family.
Now, this is allowing for eeveelutions with the same types in different order of evolution (e.g. Grass/Fire/Water/Electric, Grass/Electric/Fire/Water, etc.). If you feel like discounting these, divide each stage by the number of possible combinations in said stage (its factorial, e.g. for 4 types it's 24! = 4*3*2*1 = 24). You get 57120/24 + 4080/6 + 272/2 + 17/1 + 1/1 = 2380 + 680 + 136 + 17 + 1 = 321
Now doing something analogous for the Physical/Special/Physical/Special thing it's:
1 Eevee
8 eons
8*8 = 64 eoneons (discounting Normal because symmetry).
64*7 = 448 eoneoneons.
448*7 = 3136 eoneoneoneons.
3136 + 448 + 64 + 8 + 1 = 3657
Now, note that if you're going to do the no-same-types-different-order thing, due to the Special/Physical restraint there's only one possible combination for stage 3 (e.g. there can be Water/Steel, but no Steel/Water), two for stage 4, and 4 for stage 5, so you get 3136/4 + 448/2 + 64 + 8 + 1 = 784 + 224 + 64 + 8 + 1 = 1081
Permutation (Grass/Fire/Water/Electric != Water/Electric/Grass/Fire) 17!/(17-4)! = 57120 Eeveelutions
Combinations (Grass/Fire/Water/Electric = Water/Electric/Grass/Fire) 17!/(4!(17-4)!) = 2380 Eeveelutions
math doesn't need to be so fucking complicated god
^^ Worst part is that warlord is totally useless once you recruit him. He kinda is the epitome of suck.
@Icalasari: No, in gen I there was one more physical type than special, just like in the other two gens where that split was meaningful. Adding one to each side can't make the numbers go from even to uneven?
As for Eevee I don't see why they can't just do Eeveelutions of "physical" types, if they want to do more.
Electric - Poison
Grass - Ground
Psychic - Flying
Fire - Bug
Ice - Normal
Dragon - Fighting
Dark - Steel
Ghost
Oh huh
Wrong way. Ghost is (well, was) Physical. For some inexplicable reason.
But I'm on my phone so no tables and fuck redoing it so that physical is on the left
And Ghost was supposed to be a Psychic counter, so going against the Physical Defense stat instead of that ungodly Special Stat, maybe?
You aren't supposed to make the armies with delegated tasks do anything that turn...
Finished the main story of Pokemon Conquest
"Yes! I can't wait to finish up all the stuff I was doing before and-...I can't replay the main story until I've beaten all this other stuff, and I'm practically starting all over again? ...Fuck"
Tepig is adorbs and Emboar is awesome, but his midform is kinda lame.
Though, I guess most starters have that problem.
You mean Failnite?
Yeah, he sucks. He's the entire reason why I don't use the Tepig line, ever.
Counterpoint:
That's still not very many of them, and I'm going to dispute Ivysaur, because it just looks like Bulbasaur but with leprosy.
Charmeleon too. It looked like Charmander got a tan and a pointier head.
Charmeleon looks like an older, tougher Charmander. Which is what it is.
Charmeleon is the shit, don't knock Charmeleon.
Charmeleon is what hadrosaurs think of in their masturbation fantasies. Charmeleon is bad-ass.
Ivysaur pretty much fixed everything wrong with Bulbasaur. It's sleeker, meaner, and pointier.
Wartortle is best Secondary Starter Evolution.
Then probably Grovyle.
Wartortle is Squirtle with wings on its head and a fang. Big deal.
You know why cyndaquil opened its eyes when it evolved into quilava? So it could see just how much it was kicking everybody else's asses.
Except for Croconaw's.
Croconaw's trainers are too embarrassed to use it in public until it evolves into Feralligator.
And even then, they keep a bag over his face.
I think Giovanni is my favourite villain, followed by Cyrus
Giovanni was the only threatening villain in the series until Ghetsis came along.
Though I will admit that I know nothing about Gen IV's because, y'know, skipped it.
