Description
My fellow pokΓ©mon artist and friendly neighborhood nemesis Justin Hall recently launched his own site to host his comic strips in a more comfortable fashion, and thus I felt compelled to give it some attention in the only way I can. His Sleep Tackle is one of my own personal favorites, but seeing as it's one of his earlier productions, I concluded that it was in need of some treatment. This would be a great opportunity to work in my own site name, but I won't.Ever heard of him? Maybe you should have. Go and check out his stuff.

ROFL! Poor Butterfree. And the fact that the trainer is just trying to catch a Rattata is even funnier.

Sometimes I really want to know how the hell can we missed a sleeping opponent when we know they couldn't move when fallen asleep? Nice job!

Maybe they rolled over?
Always what I thought so my mind didn't get all caught up in wondering how the hell that happened.

Or maybe it's a sleep walker xD

All I can think is, fallen asleep is always the best time to go all-out. People would always be surprised to see when your attack missed even when they are sleeping

This happened to me on Black/White. My friend's Salamance was asleep and I used Guilotine, and this was the exact text...
"SALAMANCE avoided the attack!"

...WTF?

Clearly that Salamance rolled over in its sleep...

Only possible explanation...

I was gonna write that as of 3rd Gen, Butterfree's tackle can't miss any more, but I'm actually not sure, now that I think of it. If a move has 100% accuracy, can it still missβ¦? I mean, Earthquake has 100%, but it does have a chance of missing without evasion/accuracy being meddled with, right? So even if Tackle has 123% accuracy on a Butterfree, it can miss? Or can't it? Or will moves such as Earthquake never miss? That'd be weird, I'm sure they do miss occasionally, justβ¦ very rarelyβ¦Β maybe they don't have perfect accuracy?
AAARGH, PokΓ©mon maths!

In Gen I, attacks with 100% accuracy (when not raising the evasion that is) had in fact an accuracy of 99,6%.
Maybe this oddity was kept throughout the generations, who knows ?

Ah, ok. Yes, it probably was... now the real question is... what about 100+ accuracy?
π: 0 β©: 1
If the accuracy exceeds 100%, then it's impossible to miss.
π: 0 β©: 2
Ah, ok... thanks for the info. In that case, the issue is at least irrelevant for Butterfree anymore. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed, thanks to Compoundeyes

Aside this, in Gen I abilities didn't exist yet, and Tackle didn't have 100% accuracy back then. So a Butterfree's Tackle still had the 95% accuracy anything else would have when using it.

I instantly laughed when I got to the end of this
So true. So true...

I doubt this strip will be of much use on dA, but I am required by personal law to cross post everything from my site. Sort of. The news of is site has to be spread either way!

Haha, these Pokemon parodies will never, ever get old.

They fixed Tackle's accuracy in Gen V, but it was already too late.

Yes, it was.
The damage was done.
