Caterpie

I think the list of wild Pokemon should be revised. I found a Caterpie in the forest and I'm playing version X --Dunsparce can learn Double-Edge. |B) DEAL WITH IT. (talk) 00:36, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

In Santalune Forest, not here? 'Cuz that'd be right. Tiddlywinks (talk) 00:53, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Calculating Percentages

Can we calculate the percentages of how the wild Pokémon appear? Or would it be too speculative? My calculations are that Caterpie, Weedle Pidgey and Zigzagoon each has a 11% chance of appearing while Fletchling, Scatterbug and Bunnelby have 22% chance. Although, I'm not totally sure. Any of them can be off. In fact, the percentages would total up to 99% meaning one of them can have 1% more. Can someone figure out these calculations? I would like to see numbers to be consistent with the other regions. SeanWheeler (talk) 18:33, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

I don't know wheter it's okay or not, but an important question is: what kind of numbers do you have? My thoughts are that 100 encounters might (maybe) be okay to base approximations off of if there are only a few Pokemon that can appear, but I'd consider 200-300 encounters (if not more) to be better, especially with many Pokemon or an especially rare Pokemon (with a low encounter rate).

Personally, I think it would be good to use approximations until we can derive the numbers from the games directly, because who knows how long it'll be before that happens. But I also kind of think that if we did go this route, it'd be nice to have a record of the numbers people have derived the percentages from, so there's some measure of "accountability"/verifiability.
