The Pokemon Favorites Game
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~m...lackwhite.html
Basically, it's a click game where you choose(click) your favorite Pokemon between two. It includes all Pokemon up to BW, so be prepared for quite a journey! Unfortunately, I've betrayed a couple of my favorites out of purely not noticing them or not thinking hard enough- So be careful! My favorite: Samurott, of course |

Who knew. Cool idea, but it took forever to filter out 648 Pokémon. I also have a feeling that if they appeared in a different order the results would be different (ex. pretty sure I really don't like Zebstrika, not sure how it ended up in there). I also definitely did not see Magikarp appear anywhere in the entire sequence of Pokémon who showed up D: Last edited by Dragonite; December 15, 2013 at 08:56:24 AM. |

Here's what I got. No surprise who's on top.
But now let's see what's wrong. For one thing, I do not like Crocanaw or Shedinja. Next, Giratina beats out everyone on that list (besides the first two) a thousand times. This list is also missing Charizard, Pikachu, Buizel, and Petilil. The rest are okay, but the 2-10 is all outta order. |

At this point, I'm going to take a guess that the algorithm it uses to determine spots 2~10 is indeed the terrible one I thought up last night: once a Pokémon is eliminated, it never shows up again. This means that if, for instance, both your favorite and second favorite show up together almost immediately, your second favorite has absolutely no chance of showing up in that list. Given the previous posts nearly confirm it, I don't think I'm going to waste my time on it, especially because I know most of my top ten anyway.

Then yes, indeed, this is rather silly at actually determining your true ranking of the 649. Of course, it becomes problematic when you consider how many iterations are required to run through. You have to sum the numbers from 649 − (n − 1) to 649, where n is the number of favorites you wish to show. I think that's correct.

The top 1 is never expected to change. I mean, it's your favorite, you should know what your favorite Pokémon is. But the 2-10 is just unfairly placed and only reflects your actual likes part of the time. Shedinja and Crocanaw would never rank in my favorites, and Giratina would be in the top 3 because it's so wonderful and adorable~<3
