Single post in Review Special Rates

I have taken a look at the stats on this, and I do want to say you made a very good point about "non-bonus" days. Even seemingly unrelated bonuses have a surprisingly strong impact on special rates for the day as the "average user" shifts more towards hunters on those days. So, considering only non-bonus days, it looks like the overall global rate is about 1/200 for Shinies, and 1/250-300 for Albinos, which is roughly where I think it should be for a global average. The "global average" doesn't necessarily tell the whole story, of course, since most players aren't hunters, but it's important to consider the global average all the same as that determines the overall rarity of things, and therefore their relative value. With regard to Melans, it is very difficult to gauge them as they are very rare indeed - somewhere between 1/3000 and 1/5000 depending on fluctuations in randomness. I must, however, dispute the "early Melan" argument - just because someone gets lucky doesn't mean the odds are broken. If "early Melans" were a problem, there'd be a lot more than 1/3000 of them. I don't really know what to say in response to "z-crystals feeling pretty useless". It's a 1.5x boost for 3 days, which is quite significant. If it's not being felt, maybe it needs to be looked at, but it's definitely working as intended - I even double-checked the code, just to be safe! So, thank you for bringing this up, but at this time I feel like things are okay the way they are. I'm open to more specific suggestions, whether that's about individual experience or the "global average" I mentioned above, but for right now: I have reviewed it, it looks OK to me. "More specific suggestions" could, perhaps, make use of the Raw Data I made available (and which I used for my "review"). Maybe make some spreadsheets to illustrate a point, that sounds like it might be fun! I do kind of wish I could provide more specific data, like individual hunt stats, but this is kind of the best that the current system can offer - definitely my fault since I didn't anticipate the need for Timeline data to be anything other than human-readable, so the system can't really handle it (sheer volume is a problem too, lots of eggs!). Sorry about that - hindsight is helpful! I'll leave this thread in Suggestions for now - if I move it to Completed you wouldn't be able to post in it any more, so it'd be premature to move it even if I personally consider the review "completed". As written the suggestion was just for me to review it, and that is done, but I get the feeling there's more to talk about :)
