Pokémon

Yesterday evening/This night I was playing Pokémon Diamond, and I discovered something.

I was playing in my 232nd hour, and I got paralyzed. I always thought that if you were paralyzed you are always the last to attack, but no! Suddenly a wild Spearow level 20 appeare (it was in the route route above Fighter Area), and I threw my Pokéball and my paralyzed Luxray level 99 came out. I attacked, but I was first! And thus I found out that your speed is only lowered very, very much.
I also wanted to use the HM cut in the grass, but unlike in the first 2 generations I didn't cut the grass around me. Stupid that they took that function out of the game.
And the third and last one: being poisoned doesn't make you slower. You only get hurt every turn.

Comments

it was probably because of the level gap. it's a level 20 with no EV, against your lvl 99.

When you are paralyzed, your speed stats is lowered to 1/4th of your original speed.

Even with 1/4th of the Luxrays original speed, you were faster than the Spearow.
No glitch or anything involved lol

I understand that. I just didn't know that your speed lowers only partial.

はい! (Yes!)
 
You've been playing Pokemon for 232 hours and you just found out about the actual status effects now.

People should really pay attention to the Pokemon School at the start.

POISONED
If a Pokémon is poisoned, it will steadily lose HP.
The effects of poison remain after battle.
A poisoned Pokémon's HP will drop while its traveling.
Heal a poisoning using an Antidote.

PARALYZED
If a Pokémon becomes paralyzed, its Speed stat drops.
In addition, it may not be able to move while it is in battle.
Paralysis remains after battle. Cure it using a Parlyz Heal.

And where could I read that paralysis affects the speed of a Pokémon by only about 1/4th? I knew it would affect your speed, but not how much it would.
I also couldn't read that poisoned means that something else lowers.
And the grass thing doesn't have anything to do with the school.

"I always thought that if you were paralyzed you are always the last to attack." - You

You thought that it would make you last. It doesn't say that in the description at all, it says it'll drop the speed. I'm not referring to the specific numbers, I'm just saying that if you read it, you should know that it'll just drop, not make you last all the time. That's what you said in the post.

POISON doesn't do anything other than poison you. That's all it says, why would you think that it slows you down? If it lowers something else, don't you think that it'd be given a mention?

And I didn't make any mention about the grass thing. I specifically said STATUS EFFECTS.

The line thing on the e isn't even relevant. It's just a way to contract Pocket Monsters and it's never actually necessary.

It's affect, not effect BTW, since you want to nitpick.

Your name isn't a dictionary word either, but you want it to be spelled correct, right?
I never said I thought poison would slow me down, and I would like to excuse myself for what you mentioned in the beginning of the post I'm reacting to.
And your last line: where did I write "effect" then?

a name is a name, it doesn't need to be written on the dictionary, it's written on a birth certificate.

by this you assume that maybe you(but you said you didn't) or other people believe that being poisoned will make you slower.

EDIT: oh oh oh... i don't mean to say this in a harsh way... i was writing this wearing a blank face.
 
Flame war!!! Flame war!!! Flame war!!!

Damn, guys, why can't we all just get along??? It's pokemon, for chrissakes, let's not squabble over it like spoilt and rotten children, ok?
