Exclamation Mark
On the page is says that an exclamation mark appears over the partner Pokémon if you and the Pokémon are facing down, side by side. I was standing facing left, with my Pokémon behind me also facing left (looking at me), and the exclamation mark appeared above me once, and my partner twice. However, when it appeared above my partner, it was for Pokémon I either hadn't seen or hadn't caught, so could this be the real factor for whether the exclamation mark appears above you of the partner?

Good rod in HG/SS
In HeartGold, at least, the Good Rod isn't found in the Olivine Café, but rather in the building above the Pokécenter in Olivine. Eckankar 10:48, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
This might help with Consecutive Fishing math
Ok, so I caught my first Shinny through chain fishing the other day, wasn't even trying, forgot all about chain fishing until I caught a shinny male Poliwhirl. I was actually after its evolved form, Politoad before it popped up. I figure this was after 20 attempts to get a normal Politoad, the exact amount i cannot say but I am certain of 20.
The second Shinny I got was the next day, which was a male Relicanth. I did however keep track, and was surprised about how soon I caught it. After 10 consecutive bites I reeled in the shinny living fossil Pokémon, however before that I caught 2 Seadras back to back so maybe that did something to the chain.
The third shinny was a female Alomomola which was caught after 38 consecutive bites.
I'm not sure if any of that can help the more math gifted researchers come up with the numbers, but here it is all the same. Good luck. Yamitora1 (talk) 14:46, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
