Note that "---" in general means accuracy bypass, but 100% should remain since that's how it is in III and onwards. --[[User:FIQ|FIQ]] ([[User talk:FIQ|talk]]) 17:16, 7 March 2017 (UTC) | Note that "---" in general means accuracy bypass, but 100% should remain since that's how it is in III and onwards. --[[User:FIQ|FIQ]] ([[User talk:FIQ|talk]]) 17:16, 7 March 2017 (UTC) | ||
:I meant something like "{{tt|100|— in Generation II}}%", which is the format we do for [[List of modified moves#Accuracy changes|other modified moves]]. It may make sense here, even more so as you cannot observe that "100%" in-game anyway (although that's what it still is technically), but I'm also ok with it being in the prose only.

Hello! Since you have shown interest in this area in the past, I thought I might consult with you about an idea I had for an article. Mostly, I think it would be a good idea to bring together the various information on formulae in the games, especially the earlier ones for which more information is known (due to the disassemblies). Additionally, it would probably be nice to be able to explain the exact algorithm used in each case, including the order in which operations are applied (this affects how rounding works, for example) and how working values are stored (especially quotients) since this can affect accuracy of results. See [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Experience#Blue.27s_Lv5_Eevee_in_Yellow_yields_97_Exp._instead_of_98_Exp._Why.3F|this section]] for a look at what got me thinking this might be a good idea. | |||
This is too big a project to do on my own, so I want to gauge community interest and see if someone knowledgeable about the game mechanics might be able to help out. --[[User:Felthry|Felthry]] ([[User talk:Felthry|talk]]) 19:06, 17 March 2017 (UTC) | |||
