Rare Enemy Normal Mode Rate?

[PJ]

I know the rare enemy appearance rate has generally been excepted as 1/51x (can't remember what the exact number is though).

But is that ratio smaller in normal mode? It seems ridiculously easy to find rare enemies in Normal mode.

For the past 2 months, I haven't seen a single rare enemy. So, yesterday, my friend comes over. We make 2 new characters, and we do the VR Temple. We find a Nar Lily. Yay.

Now, just a few minutes ago, my friend loads up his character and does Normal Mode Forest. And lo and behold, 3 rooms later, he finds an Al Rappy.

Any explanation, or it's just a huge coincidence? (Like finding the Booma's Arm in normal which is MUCH rarer tham some of the things I actually want )

The rates that are supposed to exist are something like 1/512, others also say 1/256, or like it was supposed on Dreamcast, 1/1024.
But nobody has ever found any appearance rates, unlike the drop rates of enemies or boxes.
But like i already said, i believe that enemy appearance could be connected to the map, and not by simple appearance rate.

So, i think theres no difference in normal mode.

PSO is very random. You might find 10 mils in run, or not find a rare enemy for a month. One time I found 4 Mil Lilys in a span of 50 pipes. Another time it took over 150 pipes for 1 to appear. Its all luck.

in NORMAL it is 512. in ULTIMATE it is 512. in EVERY OTHER difficulty, it is 512.

why are you having such a hard time understanding this?

It's not that it's hard to comprehend, it's jsut that I'm annoyed with my luck

Because theres no proof, its an accepted number, nothing else.

He's right about this KaFKa. There is no solid proof of this. For all we know, the rates could be different. It sure as well seems like it to me. (3x nars, 1x al rappy on normal, 1x nar and 1x hildeblue on hard )

Actually its he.

And theres even proof or at least a hint that it might be generated by map, not by appearance rate.
