    yep i counted 14 coinflips that got heads CONSECUTIVELY.
    also dont even get me started on the card shuffling and selection RNG. i have 9 basic pokemon and out of the last 28 games i have played, i've had mulligans with every draw. 12 of those where i my draw was so bad that i gave away 2-4 mulligans.
    Im actually going start an excel spreadsheet on this and export my battle logs after every match.

    @Bin_Chicken Recording some actual data is better than just saying "I didn't get the result I wanted so RNG bad" but your sample size is too small. One person and their results isn't enough to prove something is wrong. You'd need data from a lot more people and many more instances of the randomness being tested.

    Again, you could get heads every coin toss for the rest of your life and that doesn't necessarily prove that there is anything wrong with the RNG.

    True randomness, and the patterns that spontaneously form as a result, do not look random to humans.

    what if someone caught two of the exact same shiny spinda in a row that’s a 1/17,592,186,044,416^2 times (encounter rate)^2
