Game Mechanics
The Pokémon games contain all sorts of interesting (in my opinion, anyway) formulas and other inner workings hidden from ordinary players. These sections are devoted to explaining some of them as conclusively as possible.
Stat Mechanics
A breakdown of how your Pokémon's stats (Attack, Defense, etc.) are calculated.
Battle Mechanics
Goes through the inner workings of speed determination, stat modifiers, accuracy and the damage formula.
Capture Mechanics
The inner workings of Pokémon captures and a calculator to find out how many balls you are likely to waste catching a Pokémon.
Status Effects
The various status effects in Pokémon, both major and minor, what they do, what they have done and the various moves, abilities and items that relate to them.
Honey Trees
A combined practical guide and mechanical explanation of honey trees in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.
