For Unown's letter, does 0 correspond to A, or do the punctuation come first, or how is it sorted? -- Slim

Also, does it count for FR/LG where eah form of Unown is found only in one of the ruins? FabuVinny 12:49, 16 January 2006 (CST)
From 0-27 they go like this: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z ! ? as shown by sprite data.
In the FR/LG ruins the unowns' personalities are generated like normal but are controlled for whatever building's conditions. When they are controlled for unown letter the effect on other personality traits is probabilistically insignificant. --Sheep 13:10, 12 February 2006 (CST)
Can somebody provide me with an Unown's personal value and letter? I need to check something. --Kyoufu Kawa 16:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Too late! 0x00003C6E comes down to the letter C. Please don't ask why the personal value is so small. --Kyoufu Kawa 10:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Gender

Maybe no one else noticed this, but the gender equation doesn't work correctly. If it was a 100% female (base gender of 254), then the pgender could potentially be 255 which is higher than 254 resulting in a male Pokémon when that Pokémon is supposed to be female-only. --Naokohiro 22:30, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Wurmple

Can someone tell me what personality a Wurmple needs to become a Dustox. I don't understand this equation at all. Plus it would just be so much easier to list the ones that work.

That's nature, determined itself from personality value. You'd need to go through many more calculations than simply looking at what nature the Pokémon is to see if it's gonna become a Silcoon or a Cascoon. TTEchidnaFire echyGSDS! 02:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Ah, well do you think you would be able to explain how to figure it out. I've captured an evolved a lot of wurmples and not one has been a cascoon.
I really don't know myself... Just get lucky, I guess... TTEchidnaFire echyGSDS! 20:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Does the personality value's effect on nature imply that certain natures of Wurmple are more likely to evolve into Silcoon than Cascoon? Ultraflame 04:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
It might... though Wurmple's evolution is determined by the lowest word value, while nature is on the overall p doubleword. TTEchidnaFire echyGSDS! 05:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it may, but only veeeeery slightly. Think of it this way:

If the part of the personality value that affects Wurmple's evo (which we'll call the Wurmple Value) converts to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 in decimal, then its evo will be Silcoon. If the Wurmple Value is 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, it will become a Cascoon. If it's 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15, it will become a Silcoon, and so on until 32768. But there's no way of checking this in-game, so it's all luck. --Clorox (diskussion) 00:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

And essentially its relation to nature is as follows:

Spinda

I'm not too certain the whole coordinate thing is right. I went and generated several Spinda earlier, making screenshots and writing down the personality values for each. Just today, I was informed of a page where you could see the spot pattern for a given PV, and I just had to try it out.

For a Spinda with PV 0x077F9E5F, the original sprite from Fire Red was this while the generator's sprite was this. --Kyoufu Kawa 18:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I talked to someone at Legendary Pokémon and their generator does not work. Gatorshark's generator seems to work though [1]... of course, it only covers the R/S sprites. --Codemonkey85

It would seem that there are four spots of varying shape that can only move in certain bounding rectangles. Very interesting... this should make deciphering the pattern easy. I'm gonna play around with this now. --Kyoufu Kawa 15:34, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

If anyone has any further insight into this, I would appreciate it...

Kyoufu Kawa, do you think you could hook me up with those screenshots and PIDs? I have an algorithm I'd like to test, as I'm creating a program that can graph Spinda's spots like the generators you have seen online. --Codemonkey85 15:41, 30 August 2008

Not a problem. [2] --Kyoufu Kawa 19:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll be sure to look at these. I'd really like to figure out how this works for the D/P sprites. --Codemonkey85
