I found this post that I had fun with a while back on another site, but then I lost it, but I just found it again, and I thought I should go ahead and share it along with another version of this game I stumbled across while looking for it.

Here’s the first one I found:

- Add your age to the day you were born, then multiply that number by the month you were born to get the Pokédex number. (I got Ralts for this one.)

And here’s the second one I found:

- Put your birthdate in the mm/dd/yy format and then add those numbers together (ex. 01/12/89 = 1+12+89 = 102) to get the first sum. Then add the first letters of your first and last names together as if they were numbers—this is set up as A = 0.1, B = 0.2, T = 2.0, Z = 2.6... I hope you get what it’s going for. Sorry for how convoluted this is (ex. S+L = 1.9+1.2 = 3.1)—to get the second sum. And then multiply the first sum by the second sum (ex. 102 x 3.1 = 316.2), and then round that to a whole number if necessary to get the Pokédex number (ex. 316.2 = #316 = Gulpin). (I got Unown for this one.)

Hopefully I did an okay job of explaining them. I’m not even sure what you’d need to search for to find them.

I just thought people here might like to try these as a game to see which Pokémon partners they could have, and then maybe share what they got with the thread. It would also be cool if anyone wants to share any games similar to these that they might’ve found or invented themselves.

Heh, I got the goofy shelder!

Nice! Did you get Shellder on both of the calculators or just one? I was playing around yesterday and doing the calculations for one of my favorite celebrities, and she got Seel on the first one and Shellder on the second, lol.

I got alakazam and medicham!

According to the first method, Alomomola.

For the second, Solrock.

Could be worse.
