for those of you that don't know, jenken seems to be a japanese version of rock paper scissors

I've done the crazy freaking math and actually had to consult google because windows calculator isn't powerful enough to do the math

if you have 100 meta picks out of 800 pokemon, cut that number in 10 so that you have no overlapping weaknesses, have 4 move slots per pokemon and 8 "best" moves per pokemon

#you get ONE DIVIDED BY
(1/10) X (1/9) X (1/8) X (1/7) X (1/6) X (1/5) X (1/8) X (1/7) X (1/6) X (1/5)

the answer to this question is, there are 254015999.99999997 different combinations you could come across and not just rock beats scissors beats paper beats rock

that's 254 freaking million different combinations someone could throw at you and that's not including a freaking lot...

you are free to correct me if i'm wrong here, but there are so many variables in Pokemon that it's like trying to count grains of sand on the beach one by one

for an even simpler comparison, rock paper scissors has 9 outcomes, that math has 254 million outcomes

How often do you actually come across people that compare the two?

I only know of Janken (Jenken, however it's spelled) because I watched JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
