To be fair, it doesn't say "in the same battle, on the same opponent". You can easily cast 40 Razor Leafs if you stop at a pokemon center in between.

Easily my favorite part of the answer.

They weren't in the wild. There was someone in Cianwood City who asked you to take care of it for them. If you kept its happiness high enough, when(/if) you go back, they tell you to keep it.

Dammit, I shouldn't be laughing this goddamn hard at this. But as much as a smartass as he was, he's got a damn good sense of comedic timing.

You guys do know this is fake right? Some guy just typed this out on Microsoft Word, printed it off and wrote the answer very badly. Do you honestly think a teacher would do this?

A teacher who's not a bitter oldtimer living only for numbers, teaching a bunch of grade schoolers? Huh, why not? The base question is the same as with any other example, except this one will at least draw a few smiles.
It kind of sucks to see some people never had a teacher who made an effort to understand and get along with the kids he's trying to educate. Not that I'm implying this couldn't possibly be fake, but plain denying it could ever happen is just very sad.

Yeah, I experienced this quite often way back in college and it is an effective technique for making dull subjects more engaging.
In a senior level macroeconomics class, the prof used the poisoned wine scene from Princess Bride as an example of game theory. Heads in the class perked right up. A friend had an organic chemistry prof who used alcohol and THC for a number of examples.

You know, everyone cites this Catch Rate formula as an example of complex math in Pokemon and it always makes me laugh.
1) No one cares about the catch rate formula; whatever the catch rate of a pokemon is, the steps you do to optimize it are well known and simple.
2) The only reason it even looks like that is because they wanted to take a simple probability (Catch Value out of 255), and break it up into 4 independent trials which come out to the same overall probability when compounded. This is so the shaking of the pokeball actually matters, each of those trials decides if it will break out at that point. It's stupid.
Shucks, now I've gone and talked about the math of pokemon on an anime forum.
