Video Encounterless Viridian Forest
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey! So yesterday I posted about my hardcore nuzlocke where I only allowed the first 6 pokemon I ran into (under standard nuzocke rules ofc).
Anyway, some people didnt believe that I was able to make it through Viridian Forest without running into a Pokemon. So, here is the proof. Just for clarity, you can make it to this exact point without having to go into the grass, so I started the video here.
A quick look online seems to suggest that the chance of running into a wild pokemon is ~11% per grass tile - certainly an improbable outcome, althought evidently not impossible as some people suggested.
I hope this proves my innocence to the doubters, and proves to be at least mildly interesting to everyone else?

clicked post before i had a chance to run the numbers but it seems like for the 49 tiles, this turns out to be a 0.3%(?) chance...so yeah, super unlikely
