    http://www.smogon.com/bw/articles/bw_complete_damage_formula <-- Is PO using that? If not, it needs to be using that for Gen 5.

    If it is... then let me know and lock this up.

    (by the way, I fail to see why anyone EXCEPT FOR PO DEVS need to respond to this topic, so I'm gonna go ahead and warn / infract / delete any other posts. kthx)

    No, PO is using decimals, not fixed point fractions. The difference, however, is not visible because the damage numbers are so small.

    Otherwise, there are couple of differences between the complete formula and PO's implementation. At least pledges and present are programmed a bit differently iirc.

    BUMP.

    It might be a very minor difference that doesn't affect the overall damage, but I'd still like to see the proper damage formula added to PO, and no one has told me it has been updated as such.

    So yeah.
