Battle Catacombs

The Battle catacombs are a series of natural and man-made tunnels and caves underground. The Pokémon that reside there are mostly Ground and Rock types, due to the earthly environment, but some Dark and Water type reside in the murky waters and dingy, unlit caves and tunnels. The deep caves can provide little light, and the lack of oxygen can slow Pokémon down and reduce accuracy even for the Pokémon that dwell there naturally.

The first challenge will be to navigate the caves to find the Ball Keeper, once found the ball keeper will take your Pokémon into temporary storage and give you a Pokémon from a select choice of Pokémon, they are listed at the bottom. You may only pick one Pokémon, and you may not use any items at all on the Pokémon. You are granted with 6 ‘Cave Balls’, available only to use in the catacombs. You may then search the caves to find and catch 6 Pokémon. Once you have 6 Pokémon, or the Pokémon you had chosen to battle the wild Pokémon with faints, you go back to the Ball Keeper and return any extra balls you have.

Once you have returned the balls, you are free to train the Pokémon within the catacombs, but, should you wish to leave, the Pokémon will be set free, as you may not keep Pokémon found in the catacombs. If and when you are happy with the Pokémon, you may go in search of the Frontier Brain, Cavern Mistress Suzette. Once you find her, you may battle her.

The battle will be against 3 random, non-legendary Kanto native rock type Pokémon and 3 ground type Pokémon. The battle will be over a lake, in a dark cave, making accuracy, evasion and speed stats lower than usual. All battle items are permitted during battle. Should you loose, you will return to the Ball Keeper and have to catch Pokémon all over again. Once you defeat the Frontier Brain, you will receive the Stalagmite Symbol. The Battle Catacombs are just north of the Sealeaf forest.

Ball Keeper Pokémon available to loan;
Blatoise, Golbat, Polywrath, Machamp, Slowbro, Muk, Gengar, Seadra, Seaking, Starmite, Lapras, Ditto, Vaproeon,

Catacombs Native Pokémon;
Sandshrew, Sandslash, Zubat, Golbat, Diglet, Dugtrio, Geodude, Gravler, Golem, Onyx, Cuebone, Marrowack, Rhyhorn, Rhydon.

does not exist.

I couldn't write about this until AFTER the election because every time I questioned the validity of the Bradley Effect, everyone including social studies teachers (especially Sam Brumbaugh) came after me with a huge dose of "YOU'RE WRONG! YOU'RE FULL OF BULLSHIT! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WORKS! <b>OBAMA WILL LOSE THE ELECTION BECAUSE HE'S BLACK!</b>"

This is another one of those reasons why I refuse to take AP Government.

=======================================

I. Introduction

<i>"The <b>Bradley Effect</b> is a theory proposed to explain observed discrepancies between voter opinion polls and election outcomes in some US government elections where a white candidate and a non-white candidate run against each other. Instead of ascribing the results to flawed methodology on the part of the pollster, the theory proposes that some voters tend to tell pollsters that they are undecided or likely to vote for a black candidate, and yet, on election day, vote for his white opponent. It was named after Tom Bradley, an African-American who lost the 1982 California governor's race despite being ahead in voter polls going into the elections."</i> [Wikipedia]

------------------------------------------------------

II. Justification

To justify the existence of a <b>Bradley Effect</b>, people use the idea of a <b>social desirability bias</b>. This says that in surveys, people have a tendency to respond to taboo questions in a way that their responses are more favorable to others. This will cause them to lie about their inner thoughts, feelings, and actions so that they overreport good behavior and underreport bad behavior. I don't need to give you any examples.

------------------------------------------------------

III. Basis

But wait. There's a HUGE problem. What people forget to mention is that there is no evidence that the <b>Bradley Effect<b> has ever happened. Well, they claim that a few events in recent history are examples of the phenomenon.

The first is the 1982 California gubernatorial race between Tom Bradley (D, Black guy) and George Deukmejian (R, White guy). Tom Bradley was Mayor of Los Angeles, and he beat a <b><u>White guy</u></b> (former State Assemblyman and Lieutenant Governor since 2007 John Garamendi) in the primaries. Early poling showed that it would be a very close race. As the campaign went on, Bradley gained ground. It looked like he would win a narrow victory, and then he released a negative ad connecting Deukmejian to the Watergate Scandal, which he had nothing to do with. There was a huge public outcry against Bradley for doing this, and Bradley lost a lot of ground in poll numbers. Still, the polling organizations insisted that Bradley would win a clear victory.

The pollsters underestimated the number of votes that Deukmejian would get, especially from Fresno where there was a large Armenian population that voted Republican. Then the votes from Orange County (extremely Conservative) and Long Beach (Deukmejian's home) came in, giving Deukmejian a narrow victory over Bradley.

The incorrect polling numbers led to the theory — later dubbed "the Bradley effect" — that a statistically significant number of voters had given inaccurate responses when questioned by pollsters. Yeah, right. If you take a look at the numbers, Deukmejian won by a mere 93,345 votes out of a total 7,876,515 votes cast. That's a mere 1.185% of the vote! That's essentially a statistical tie. The polls were pretty unreliable in that half predicted a narrow Bradley victory and the other half predicted a narrow Deukmejian victory.

Tarrance and Associates released weekly tracking polls for the Deukmejian campaign. They took a random survey of 1000 people each week. If you look at the poll numbers by Tarrance and Associates, they say the following:
October 7: Bradley 49, Deukmejian 37
October 14: Bradley 45, Deukmejian 41
October 21: Bradley 46, Deukmejian 41
October 28: Bradley 45, Deujmekian 44

Statistically speaking, those numbers were very close. The most prominent pollster in California at the time, Mervin Field, boasted on Election Day that Tom Bradley would defeat George Deukmejian, "making the Los Angeles mayor the first elected Black governor in American history." He was so convinced because his last weekend poll showed a 7-point margin of victory for Bradley. Based on Field's assumption and enthusiasm, The San Francisco Chronicle ignored the overwhelming disparities between several different polling organizations and went ahead to print 170,000 copies of the post-election day edition saying Mayor Tom Bradley is the winner.

Exit polls released by NBC and CBS on election night declared George Deukmejian the winner by a narrow margin, and one KNBC (Los Angeles NBC affiliate) said that "half of the polls are wrong and I don't know who's right," implying that the election was still too close to call despite what the poll numbers said.

The next morning, Field rationalized his mistake by saying that "race was a factor in the Bradley loss." Because of this, news organizations, political pundits, and historians all over the country cried "<b>BRADLEY EFFECT!</b>" Mervin Field had <b>no factual basis whatsoever</b> that he could use to back up his assumptions. Thus, the Bradley Effect was born amidst some major polling errors and a confusing array of mixed predictions, hardly a firm foundation to construct a disproven theory that's taught in political science classes as undisputed fact.

Did I also mention that there was a proposition on the ballot that strengthened gun control laws, to which the Conservatives and Republicans were very strongly opposed?

------------------------------------------------------

IV. Other Evidence

As soon as you tell somebody what you just read in the last section, you'll be bombarded with a lot more examples. Again, the assumptions have little EVIDENCE with which you can back them up.

1. The 1983 race in Chicago featured black candidate Harold Washington running against white candidate Bernard Epton. More so than the California governor's race the year before, the Washington-Epton matchup evinced strong and overt racial overtones throughout the campaign. Two polls conducted approximately two weeks before the election showed Washington with a 14-point lead in the race. A third conducted just three days before the election confirmed Washington continuing to hold a lead of 14 points. But in the election's final results, Washington won by less than four points.

2. In the 1988 Democratic presidential primary in Wisconsin, pre-election polls pegged black candidate Jesse Jackson—at the time, a legitimate challenger to white candidate and frontrunner Michael Dukakis—as likely to receive approximately one-third of the white vote. Ultimately, however, Jackson carried only about one quarter of that vote, with the discrepancy in the heavily white state contributing to a large margin of victory for Dukakis over the second-place Jackson.

3. In the 1989 race for Mayor of New York, a poll conducted just over a week before the election showed black candidate David Dinkins holding an 18-point lead over white candidate Rudy Giuliani. Four days before the election, a new poll showed that lead to have shrunk, but still standing at 14 points. On the day of the election, Dinkins prevailed by only two points.

4. Similar voter behavior was noted in the 1989 race for Governor of Virginia between Democrat L. Douglas Wilder, an African-American, and Republican Marshall Coleman, a Caucasian candidate. In that race, Wilder prevailed, but by less than half of one percent, when pre-election poll numbers showed him on average with 9 percent lead. The discrepancy was attributed to white voters telling pollsters that they were undecided when they actually voted for Marshall Coleman.

In all four of these cases and many others, there is <b>NO EVIDENCE OF IMPLICIT RACISM BY THE VOTERS</b>. There is no tangible evidence explaining any of these results besides bad polling and misrepresentation of voter support by the media.

------------------------------------------------------

V. The Obama Effect




When Barack Obama lost the 2008 New Hampshire primary after all seven pre-election polls had Obama projected as the winner, the Bradley Effect got a second wind, blown along by a lot of misinformed press speculation asserting that our nation was still suffering from latent racism. A few weeks later, after much analysis of election demographics, and with a more thoughtful examination, it is clear that race was not the determinant that gave Hillary Clinton a surprising victory. In fact, it was a combination of an older brand of feminism, the open party system that encouraged independents to vote in the primary and some Obama campaign hubris that caused the result.

The New Hampshire polling debacle was also eerily familiar to those of us who witnessed first-hand the 1982 California election day errors. A lesson learned from 1982 campaign, but not remembered in 2008, was what a San Francisco Chronicle editor said the day after the 1982 election, "It seemed logical...to project a continued gain for Bradley." There was never a consensus of data to support this logic. The 2008 New Hampshire update on the so-called Bradley Effect also falls short of proving this false theory of latent racism. Instead, the New Hampshire debacle should be labeled for what it is, the worst polling disaster since "Dewey Beats Truman."

The 4 truths of life:

1. You cannot touch all of your teeth with your tongue.
2. All idiots, after reading the first truth, will attempt to do it.
3. And discover that the first truth is a lie.
4. You're probably smiling right now because you're an idiot.
