Unbalanced Frequency of Pokemon Appearances

[sunrucong]

Hey @Unlucky-Life!

Just wanted to make a mention about how there seems to be an uneven frequency of certain Pokemon appearing above others. I have every generation set to "true" to appear, but there are certain Pokemon several generations that seem to show up much, much more frequent than others, to the point where I can expect them to show up haha.

Some examples are Tyrogue, Riolu, Cleffa, and pretty much all of the Ultra Beasts besides Necrozma (especially Pheromosa and Buzzswole). I have also seen Legendaries show up more frequently than regular Pokemon - I have seen and caught 2 Rayquaza and Mewtwo already among other Legendaries before seeing a majority of the other Pokemon.

While some other Pokemon will show up from time to time, I was wondering if there might be a reason I am only being shown certain Pokemon? I do choose to defeat a lot of certain Pokemon without catching them with and without the battle UI window open, so I thought the add-on might be showing the same ones over and over to help me catch them, but even when I caught a Riolu it's still the most frequently appearing Pokemon.

I just wanted to make a mention of it, appreciating your help thus far!

@sunrucong Hey thanks for the notice ! Have you reset (opened or closed your anki yet ?)

Here is an explanation of how the tier of pokemon are picked: Hm that sounds weird with the same 3 pokemons but this is due to multiple things: the pokemon you encounter are based off of how many cards you are doing in that review session. Meaning: at a card counter smaller than 80 => normal pokemon appear at a card counter between 80 - 100 => baby pokemon and normal pokemon appear (the chance of a baby pokemon appearing is 2 out of 7 ~ 26%; for the next update i think i will reduce this to 1 out of 7 ~ 13% at a card counter between 80 - 130 => Ultra, baby and normal pokemon can appear at a card count between 130 - 180 => legendary, ultra, baby and normal pokemon can appear at a card count of later than 180 => mythical, legendary, ultra, baby and normal pokemon can appear -- These randomly generated pokemon tiers are based chance => propably the error is in my code that the chance right now of baby pokemon appearing is a little to high to normal pokemon --- the amount of baby pokemon to normal pokemon is also an issue here. => aswell as the following: pokemon can only be generated if their evolution level is greater than their randomly generated level. Meaning => a metapod will only appear at level 7 or greater

The idea behind this is to keep the chance of getting strong pokemon / legendary etc. at a low, so you wont be able to receive them that fast. => This had been an issue in the first version of Ankimon

@sunrucong i believe the issue could be that there are just way more regular pokemon than legendaries etc.

So basically the chances are like 1/8 at +130 cards seen that you will see a legendary (where there are based on generation only like 10 - 20)

But im open to rethink this logic, because its not quite the best just as of yet

Thanks for getting back to me on this!

When you say "card counter" and "number of cards done during a review session", is that total within a day across all decks? And if not and it's just within a single deck, does it keep track when I exit that review session like going to the deck overview page with the "D" key or just back to the study overview screen with the "S" key?

I also haven't been seeing any gen 9 Pokemon just fyi!

So basically the chances are like 1/8 at +130 cards seen that you will see a legendary (where there are based on generation only like 10 - 20)

Does this mean when the add-on chooses a Pokemon to show, it first chooses the generation, then the type of Pokemon (baby vs. regular vs legendary vs. ultra vs. mythical etc.), then a random Pokemon from within that subset? That would make sense with my experience I think, but yeah I'm also trying to think through the logic b/c of how many Legendaries/Mythicals/Ultras I'm seeing

Oh and fwiw yes I have closed and restarted my Anki!
