:What do you mean by "wrong"? I both added rounding and corrected the formulas as necessary to include the rounding (because people had made mathematical simplifications to formula, but those simplifications are not valid when you include rounding). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 00:38, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

::In Generation I and II the formula was different, for example EV were divided by 8. When you've added rounding, you've send different formulas.

:::No, they are actually divided by 4. The division by 8 was an incorrect mathematical simplification someone had made by changing the main divisor from 100 to 50 and removing the factor of 2 from (Base + IV). While both formulas are equivalent without rounding, when you include rounding the two formulas can result in different results, so it's important to use the same divisor as the games themselves without simplifying the formula.
:::The example formulas below should be corrected to use the correct formula (and then the note at the bottom that the results may be off due to rounding can be removed). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:00, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
