== Details Section Still Not Quite Right == | |||
Cutting for brevity and clarity, the second paragraph of the details section states the following: | |||
* Throw Bait: +1 Escape, 90% chance +1 Catch | |||
* Throw Mud: -1 Catch, 90% chance -1 Escape | |||
* When bait is thrown and flee is not increased, the message [...] | |||
* When mud is thrown and catch is not decreased, the message [...] | |||
The problem I see with this is thus: the conditions for displaying the messages contradict the explanations given for throwing bait and mud. For instance, the explanation for throwing mud implies that it always decreases Catch, while the condition for the message implies that there's a chance Catch is not decreased. This is not related to hitting the max/min stage, either; a quick test of throwing mud at a Marill displayed the message on the fourth throw, but not the fifth through eighth. I would fix it myself, but I don't know which is correct and there's no practical way to determine it in game. | |||
Incidentally, while testing on the Marill, it turns out that the messages also come with a special little animation in BDSP. I have no idea whether that was in DPPt, nor do I know whether it's actually worthy of putting in the article, but I thought it was a cute touch.
