    I once had a spinda in sapphire which had 2 spots on its head which looked perfectly centered over its eyes (like he just had red eyes). I loved it. Then I transferred it to diamond a few years later when that game game out. The spot on it's right eye became slightly off-center once i took a look at it in diamond, so I guess that particular spot wasnt perfectly centered in the original game like I thought.

      @@azelfdaboi5265 Only when encountered simultaneously. In gen 4, there is no way to make this happen luckily.
      The glitch makes shinies have about a 21.34% chance of spawning every encounter, just over 1 in 5 encounters will statistically be shiny. So like, I think the chances of getting 2 of the same spinda patterns shiny would be about 5 times the identical spinda number of 8,589,934,592. That would make it about a 1 in 4,299,672,960 chance that you will get 2 of the same shiny.
      Best way to actually do this is the Emerald RNG glitch; RNG clones are generated in that game and the frame numbers count up from zero every time the game is booted. So if the particular save file has a shiny frame that happens quickly after startup, running around on the spinda route immediately is likely to come up with a shiny. And since this same early frame determines a bunch of other Pokemon values including spot pattern, hitting the early shiny frame will hit the same spot pattern frame, complete with same stats and everything!
      Other Pokemon games don't restart the frame count from zero on opening, so only Emerald has this glitch.

  • @Crossark1
    @Crossark1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +375

    I’m about four and a half minutes in and I just HAVE to point out that, like Unown, the REAL number of possible patterns Spinda can have is limited by the amount of distinct sprites GameFreak actually put in the game. Doubtless there’s an algorithm to divide each of the 4 billion permutations of personality codes amongst X number of actual sprites were drawn up, but if there’s 4 billion ways to get one of, say, 6 sprites, then it’s a cake walk. Going back to Unown, for example, there are 256 ways of encountering one out of 28 possible sprites. 256/28 is the actual ratio for a particular sprite’s appearance rate. For Spinda, we have roughly 4 Billion/X as the ratio, so we most likely just need to do a lot of trial and error to narrow down that X value to a reasonable degree of certainty. Either that or, y’know, some data mining of the game files would probably just show how many discrete sprites there are for Spinda.
    The only conceivable situation in which Spinda could have more than 4 billion sprites would be if one of the games had a built in procedural generation graphical engine, mapping color onto the base Spinda model based on each personality code for a “unique” pattern every time. Of course, this would pose a lot of other problems - anyone could understand how such an engine would quickly grow in size to dwarf the rest of the game code. However, the real downfall of this hypothetical would be that the models wouldn’t really be “unique” - at least not in significant enough ways to make it worth the technical behemoth powering this exercice in randomness. In practice, the difference between two results in a graphical mapping function based on adjacent permutations in a dataset of over 4 billion variables would be so slight that it wouldn’t be perceptible by humans, slashing the number of apparent formes by leagues. And, of course, that’s assuming that the difference in what’s mapped in theory to 4 billion models can even be parsed within the technical constraints of the device display. Even IF the game could run with all that baggage, the display of a 3DS would almost certainly not have granular enough real estate to display a difference of, say, 2/15 of a pixel of red.
    Tl;dr: GameFreak definitely drafted up a relatively short, pre-set list of Spinda sprites, so really the number of possible formes is limited to the number of sprites, despite the total number of possible personality codes.

    • @Sugarstaches
      @Sugarstaches 5 ปีที่แล้ว +41

    As a mathematician, this is my favorite video in a long time. My mathematical thoughts:
    • Did you consider lowering the number for effectively identical spindas, like if two spots are in the same place, or dot 1 is gone on one and dot 2 is missing on the other? I’m not sure this concept is even valid with the spot generation, but worth a shot.
    • You’d be nearly guaranteed to catch thousands of shinies, as catching a smaller number becomes increasingly unlikely. Think of rolling a die 100 times. What are the odds 6 never comes up? Extremely low.
    • If emulation is allowed, we could theoretically design a program to play these games at lightning turbo speed to jettison the playtime away from thousands of years. It takes a computer a fraction of time to o things like this that take a person longer.
    • How many spindas (or other Pokémon) would get to level 100 by fighting the elite 4 as many times as required?
    • Breeding. Hatch 5 spindas while just moving between encounters, repeat.
    I love your videos and this one tops the cake for me. Looking forward to more content in the future.

      - It's possible to have overlapping Spots. This lowers the patterns considerably.
      - It's possible to have Spots generating OUTSIDE Spinda Sprite.
      - You are (nearly) guaranteed to catch shinies but the number of shinies is very flexible. Think of rolling 10 dice 100 times each, every one of them will most definitely have a different amount of "6" rolling (in theory you have a range of 0 to 100 rolls with "6" but realistically between 10 and 25 rolls of "6")
      - With emulation and auto-pilot, let's say the game works 100 times faster. Result = original time/100. Easy.
      - You can kill the League with the same Spinda every time. If you WANT to have many lv100 Spinda then:
      [1] check the EXP gain for every pkmn in the league (write it down the first time);
      [2] Add everything. Eventually take into account your Lucky egg and/or Exp Share;
      [3] Spinda needs 800'000 exp to get to lv100, you catch it at lv14 or 15 or 16 (3rd Gen). Avg is lv15. Exp at lv15 = 2'700 exp. You need 797'300 exp.
      [4] Check how many "league wins" to reach 797'300 exp.
      [5] Total "league wins" / "league needed for ONE Spinda" = Number of lv100 Spinda
      - Breading takes time to fly back and forth, boxing and re-filling with eggs. This won't save much time, if any. It's indeed possible that you're wasting more time instead but I'm not sure, needs work to calculate.

  • @TheDoctorDahl
    @TheDoctorDahl 5 ปีที่แล้ว +239

    This kind of maths problem is actually called the "Coupon collector's problem", and by my calculations one could expect to see every pattern of Spinda (not including their shiny variants) in 97,744,545,502 encounters. This is, surprisingly enough, "only" 22.76 times more than the 2^32 you based the rest of the calculations on.
    So your 6,000 year journey is more likely a 137,000 year journey.
    I wish you good luck!

    If you account for multiples you essentialy have a coupon collectors problem. The expected number of catches can then be computed with the following formula.
    k*(ln(k)+gamma)
    Where k is the number of individuals and gamma is the euler constant ~0.57. If we put in 2^32 we get roughly:
    2^32 * (22.75)
    So you will have to multiply your time by this factor of 22.75 in order to get the expected number of encounters needed to find every pattern at least once.

    I really enjoyed this video, but it raises a question: _how likely is it that every variation of spinda has been seen by any person?_ To answer this question, I would need some information:
    1. _how much games have been sold in which you can encounter Spinda?_ (easy to find online)
    2. _how many Spinda does the average player encounter while playing a game in which Spinda can be found_ (very difficult to answer. I don't think anyone reading this knows for sure how many Spindas they've encountered or can even make a serious estimate. I might need to keep this number as a variable, so I can calculate how many Spindas everyone needs to see to get a reasonable chance of Every variation of Spinda being seen)
    3. _Do trainer owned Spindas look the same for everyone, or are they different for every savegame?_ (I really hope Johnstone can answer this question, because it seems like he's done his research. The answer to this question can add an entire new dimension to the problem, since there are (probably) games in which you can't catch Spinda, but can encounter a trainer that has a Spinda)
    If anyone would like to see me answer this question, please leave a comment, preferably with information about my questions, so I'll remember to do this when I wake up.

    One important thing to note - some of the personality values will result in spots that are either off Spinda's body entirely, or overlap each other. That means that there are fewer than 4,294,967,296 visually different Spinda - conflating all the off the body spots you get a mere 3,945,136,128 different Spindas, and that's not accounting for overlapping spots.

    After watching this video I decided to do some theory crafting and it turns out there are a few optimisations to speed up this process even more to make it realistically possible for a large amount of players to catch every type of Spinda in Pokemon emerald within our lifetime. Through the Pomeg berry glitch you could cut down on the time needed to set up the game. The earliest theoretical point you would be set up the situation required to catch all these Spinda would be after the 6th gym and would require you to clear out the aqua hideout and get the masterball there, as well as having picked up at least 1 Pomeg berry from route 119 (the most optimised spot as you need to go there in normal gameplay anyway). Assuming each player understands the game well enough to solo run the first six gyms and picks Mudkip as their starter (as Mudkip can learn all the neccesary tms required up to this point while the others cant learn surf) then only around 12-14 hours of gamplay would be required compared to the 8 badges and 50 hours+ with the elite 4 grind otherwise required. The next step would require each player to use the Pomeg berry glitch to corrupt their money way above the normal limit - this takes about 1 minute of setup and 14 seconds of corruption compared to the extra 2 badges and elite 4 grind otherwise required- then they would repeat this glitch to dupe 2 items - the Masterball acquired from the Aqua Hideout and the White flute which is found from collecting Ash on route 113, as a result of the Pomeg glitch the players could mass dupe both. The Masterballs guaranteed catchinf of Pokemon would massively speeding up battle and the mass dupe of white flutes to increase the encounter rate by 50% thus speeding up the process more would cut down on battle time. With these optimisations and many players it therefore might be possible for every unique type to be caught in emerald within our lifetime.

    If you would want all the patterns of Shiny Spinda, it would take around 27,6 MILLION years to complete.
    Sounds easy enough, eh?

    You can catch all different spindas in the older versions if you just go by the pixels and the visible parts... there is a much lower logic number of how much difference the visible spots are placed based on the pixel pattern

    Small correction for 6:05: ty and gabby will stop relocating after 255 battles. They will stay at route 111 after that and you can just change routes to rechallenge them

    Just for the curious, given the average shiny encounter rate the least possible amount of encounters you would need to find every shiny pattern of Spinda is 35,184,372,088,832 (35 Trillion), and over 35 Quadrillion dollars for the Repeat Balls, or 542,968,705,075 (543 Billion) Elite Four runs with the Amulet Coin.

    Haven't watched the video completely yet but I'd say it'd take more than a year even with a lot of games since you'd have to make sure you got *every* pattern and unless you have a computer software that could count them to differentiate them you still wouldn't know

    Also, fun fact:
    One save file of Pokémon Ruby takes up 128 kilobytes. Multiply that by the number of saves needed to contain all the Spinda, and that's a grand total of a little more than1.3 terabytes of data.
