They have checks in Bank, but as long as something seems legitimate, like those shinies, it won't catch them. The shinies were gotten from a glitched Ditto, but the checks don't know that you got the shiny from breeding with a glitched Ditto, so Bank lets them through. It blocks Mew, Missingno and its variants, and anything that has a move that it shouldn't. Anything else is fair game.

Would the Ditto even be considered a glitch (as in something PokeBank can check)?

From what I understand the game mistakenly forgets to revert the Ditto's original stats back to what it was as the game thinks it's already a Ditto due to it having transform in its moveset.

what what?

Send a shiny Pokemon to RBY, teach it mimic, fight a Ditto, the Ditto will use transform, mimic transform, use transform, the wild Ditto will mimic transform, (can't remember if the transformed Ditto needs to use transform again). Catch the Ditto. When you send it to GSC it will be shiny.

I never really worried too much about HM slaves other than making sure my team can learn the relevant ones.

Surf and Waterfall are among the top water moves and while for Strength and Rock Climb, there are better normal moves the base power is high enough for it to not matter (it's not like the games are hard anyway). While Dive and Fly are two-turn moves, the AI rarely switches so it doesn't matter. Defog, Flash and Whirlpool are so situational that I usually don't teach the moves to a main party member, only bringing a box Pokemon for when I really need it.

That leaves Cut and Rock Smash as the annoying ones. If they never removed HMs in the later games I hoped they would have buffed them in some way, like make cut a high-crit move and rock smash have a guaranteed defense drop.

Steel couldn't be the first gym due to the lack of steel types. The Pokemon with the lowest Attack/Special Attack stat would have been Skarmory at base 80 which would have hit like a truck at that point in the game.

I removed all the Pokemon that were owned by an important trainer in the main games (gym leaders, rival, evil Boss, Elite 4/Champion) in battles you are forced to have (so no rematches or B2/W2 World Tournament) and the anime (Ash and his friends and team rocket). I also removed the legendaries, mega evolution (Beedrill) and alternate forms (Diglett, Farfetch'd, Grimer).

We are down to 19 Pokemon

Bellsprout
Ditto
Dodrio
Doduo
Dratini
Drowzee
Jigglypuff
Kabuto
Nidoran
Nidoran
Nidorina
Omanyte
Paras
Parasect
Porygon
Slowpoke
Tentacool
Weedle
Wigglytuff

Some like Ditto, Tentacool and Weedle are easy to cross out, but the main point is the answer is one of the above Pokemon.

Personally I think it'll be between

Dodrio
Doduo
Drowzee
Paras
Parasect
Wigglytuff

That's what happens when you break 65% in Alberta and Saskatchewan.


That's like the reverse of the United States. What's going on with the conservatives? It looks like they did a very bad job of gerrymandering....

British Columbia
Number of Seats: 42
2015 Results: Liberals 17, NDP 14, Conservatives 10, Greens 1

British Columbia is the chaos province. Just about every riding in Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island can be considered a 3 or 4 person race. In general, the Conservatives will be looking for a near-sweep of the interior while they will be generally pushing into the outer regions of Metro-Vancouver and hoping for a vote split to win on Vancouver Island (likely in the north). The rise of the NDP has likely saved them a few seats, especially on Vancouver Island.

This will likely come at the expense of the Green party where at the beginning of the election it looked as if they would sweep the southern Vancouver Island ridings, be a major player on the rest of the island and potentially target a few ridings in Metro-Vancouver. We could very well see the Greens fail to improve on their 2015 result. The independent is Jody Wilson-Raybould whom was kicked out of the Liberal caucus during the SNC-Lavalin scandal. I think she has a decent chance at winning. Should she fail the seat will likely go Liberal.

Prediction: Conservatives 15, Liberals 13, NDP 10, Greens 2, Independent 1

Territories
Number of Seats: 3
2015 Results: Liberals 3

I dont think any polls were released for the territories. Generally, the people up north vote for the person rather than the party. With the Yukon and Northwest Territories running incumbents I feel they will go Liberal while for Nunavut, they may return to the Conservatives as the 2011 MP is trying to regain her seat.

Prediction: Liberals 2, Conservatives 1

Overall
Conservatives 130
Liberals 126
NDP 41
Bloc 37
Greens 2
Peoples Party 1
Independent 1

I didnt have a final total in mind when I started this, but if the above prediction comes true it would be utter chaos. The Conservatives and Liberals obviously wont work together while the NDP has said they will not work with the Conservatives. This essentially means well need three or more parties working together.

I think the Liberals would have the better chance at forming government. The Bloc is more ideological similar to the Liberals, but could work with the Conservatives if they promise not to pass laws that are against the interest of Quebec (the pipeline would be a big issue though). The Greens and JWR are more likely to support the Liberals while the Peoples Party would support the Conservatives. So even if the Bloc and Peoples Party decide to support the Conservatives, they would fall short (130+37+1 = 168) to the Liberal/NDP/Green/JWR (126+41+2+1 = 170). Add the fact that it will be the incumbent Prime Minister who gets the first attempt to form government would mean the Liberals are more likely to hold onto power despite winning fewer seats. Of course, there will likely be an attempt to convince a Liberal or Conservative MP to switch sides which would add more to the chaos. I imagine well have a new election in a year or possibly early 2021.

Quebec
Number of Seats: 78
2015 Results: Liberals 40, NDP 16, Conservatives 12, Bloc 10

At the beginning of the election campaign it looked like the Liberals would have a chance at winning a supermajority of seats, but the rise of the Bloc after the debates have pretty much cost the Liberals any chance for a majority. In general, the Liberals will win most of their seats in Montreal, the Conservatives will win most of their seats in Quebec City while the Bloc will win most of their seats across the rest of the province.

The NDPs rise will likely stop them from getting shut out in the province, but the Orange Wave of 2011 is dead. This is also the only place the Peoples Party could win a seat thanks to their leader. His riding could very well go to the Conservatives, likely signalling the death of the party.

Prediction: Bloc 37, Liberals 27, Conservatives 11, NDP 2, Peoples Party 1

Ontario
Number of Seats: 121
2015 Results: Liberals 80, Conservatives 33, NDP 8

Overall Ontario will have the well-known urban/rural divide. While Toronto proper may be a complete sweep for the Liberals, the sub-urban area, the Greater Toronto Area is a hotly contested area. I think it will lean Liberal, but a good night for the Conservatives here would be the difference maker should they form government.

Prediction: Liberals 58, Conservatives 43, NDP 20

Manitoba
Number of Seats: 14
2015 Results: Liberals 7, Conservatives 5, NDP 2

After being shut-out of Winnipeg, the Conservatives will be looking to make gains along the outer region. The NDP may be kicked out of the city, but theyll hold the northern riding. Things will be tough for the Liberals from here west as the vast majority of their winnable ridings belong to Eastern Canada.

Prediction: Conservatives 10, Liberals 3, NDP 1

Saskatchewan
Number of Seats: 14
2015 Results: Conservatives 10, NDP 3, Liberals 1

The rise of the NDP likely saves them from being shut-out in Saskatchewan, but they definitely are not guaranteed to hold any of their seats. While the province has gone very anti-Liberal over the past four years people still love Goodale and thus the Liberals will continue to hold on to the seat until he retires.

Prediction: Conservatives 11, NDP 2, Liberals 1

Alberta
Number of Seats: 34
2015 Results: Conservatives 29, Liberals 4, NDP 1

Speaking of going anti-Liberal, Alberta will be pushing to wipe out the Liberals. On a good night, the Liberals could hold onto a seat, but its unlikely. Similarly, the NDP may lose their seat due to their incumbent retiring, especially if the Liberals siphon a few votes, allowing the Conservatives to come up through the middle.

As an aside, given how close the election is we could see a scenario where the Conservatives win the most votes, but the Liberals win the most seats. It would be because of provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan where in some ridings the Conservatives will win with 70% to over 80% of the vote.

Prediction: Conservatives 33, NDP 1

charmander6000s 2019 Canadian Election Prediction

Newfoundland and Labrador
Number of Seats: 7
2015 Results: Liberals 7

In 2015 the Liberals swept the four Atlantic provinces. That will not happen again. Newfoundland and Labrador may be forgiving the Conservatives mistake of calling them irrelevant about a decade ago, but they are not in a position to win a seat just yet. The NDPs rise since the debates likely means they will win back St. Johns East and on a good day they may win the other St. Johns riding.

Prediction: Liberals 5, NDP 2

Prince Edward Island
Number of Seats: 4
2015 Results: Liberals 4

While I feel the Liberals will sweep PEI, it wont be in a dominant fashion. This will likely be the Greens best province in terms of popular vote and they could finish second in one or two ridings, but only the winner gets the seat. The Conservatives have a chance, but if they do win a seat itll likely be a long night for the Liberals.

Prediction: Liberals 4

Nova Scotia
Number of Seats: 11
2015 Results: Liberals 11

Between the four Atlantic provinces, which will have their polls closed for at least two hours before all of the other provinces this one will be the one that will indicate how well of a night the NDP will have. We could see the NDP win as much as three or be shut-out from the province. The Conservatives also have chances in multiple ridings and on a good night they would be able to win at least three of them.

Prediction: Liberals 8, NDP 2, Conservatives 1

New Brunswick
Number of Seats: 10
2015 Results: Liberals 10

Of the four Atlantic provinces, New Brunswick will be the bellwether between the Liberals and Conservatives. Both parties should win three seats a piece while the other four could be an indicator as to how well the party will do across the rest of the nation. Additionally, Fredericton will be the Green partys best shot at winning a seat outside of British Columbia. Historically, the Greens tend to have a poor get out the vote machine and the fear of handing the riding to the Conservatives may cause a few people to jump ship.

Prediction: Liberals 5, Conservatives 5

Another Canadian election is upon us. After almost six weeks of campaigning it is time to vote. Below are the voting times. The good news is for the majority of the nation polls close at roughly the same time, except notable for Atlantic Canada which finishes 2 (2.5 for Newfoundland) hours before everyone else meaning we'll see some results before all polls are closed.

Time zone - Voting hours (local time)
Newfoundland - 8:30 a.m. 8:30 p.m.
Atlantic - 8:30 a.m. 8:30 p.m.
Eastern - 9:30 a.m. 9:30 p.m.
Central - 8:30 a.m. 8:30 p.m.
Mountain - 7:30 a.m. 7:30 p.m.
Pacific - 7:00 a.m. 7:00 p.m.

Note: Saskatchewan doesn't observe daylight savings so they're polling times will be 7:30-7:30. Some ridings may have different hours, particularly the ones which span multiple time-zones, check your voting card for confirmation.

Results: https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/federal/2019/results/

First poll closes at 7pm Eastern, first results likely won't come in until 30-60 minutes later.

I imagine its the social issues involved, because I thought they released a study that said health risks for first time incest are actually low, its repeated inbreeding that causes the wild shit.


And yeah this is exactly how it works. From a population genetics standpoint, first cousin incest isnt that bad. But it adds up. Maybe that explains why it's more legal.


Yeah, marrying your first cousin is only slightly worse than marrying someone from the same ethnicity as you, assuming you're both quite homogeneous (think dog breeding issues). But yeah, you and your future family should mix it up every now and then.
