Just feedback for Showdown. Why do moves such as “Hypnosis” with a 50% chance of hitting miss 7 times in a row, almost every game? Wouldn’t that statistically not be possible or is my math wrong. Thanks for whoever can help me with this.
They don't actually miss that often. You just don't notice the times they hit because the human brain is bad at estimating statistics.Just feedback for Showdown.

It's been there since gen 5, it's just an in-joke at this point.Why does it say "Please excuse our look during the redesign" at the bottom still?
How long has this "redesign" been going on? Have they forgot to remove it?
(I've been here on the forums since gen 8, and its been there day 1, and its still here)
If you're able to set a custom title and it isn't manually cleared when banned, it will overwrite the standard title. So just something no one bothered to do in the last 7 years, until me right now.Why does Tele not have the "Banned Deucer" description? I never saw someone be banned without getting that description. For reference: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/stall-in-sm-ou.3593151/post-7194848 .I am not denying that he is a quality human being, but just wondering why he gets special text.
I'm kind of curious why it's set via the title, the forum software Smogon uses has the ability to slap a specific banner under the name with whatever text is set to be on banned users.If you're able to set a custom title and it isn't manually cleared when banned, it will overwrite the standard title.

We don't particularly want to highlight even more that a user is banned, we reserve banners for staff members or certain prize winners. And given that only badged users can set their title at will, this isn't really a major trouble to begin with.I'm kind of curious why it's set via the title, the forum software Smogon uses has the ability to slap a specific banner under the name with whatever text is set to be on banned users.
Makes sense, though I think the banned banner is different from the regular ones.We don't particularly want to highlight even more that a user is banned, we reserve banners for staff members or certain prize winners.

(and the respective for blaze) and they didn't come up.They appear to not exist?I was just wondering, but what's the code for the pmd sprites for tauros paldea aqua and blaze breeds? I did(and the respective for blaze) and they didn't come up.
:pmd/tauros paldea: 

they got retired because a lot of content there was unsavory; however! retired doesn't mean deleted, you can find firebot here and trou here.I cannot find trou-du-cul nor firebot development lab anymore. Where are they? Are they gone? Trou-du-cul contained the best of Smogon! If they are removed, why?
There is a way to change the account.How can I recover my smogon account that I forgot the password to and no longer have the email associated with it. Is there a way to change the email on it? I have the pokemon showdown account that was used by the account.
