I'm working on some new and exciting usage stats. I've just finished parsing some old data as a test -- 2019-12-01 through 2020-02-29. The sample data was anonymized, which means I don't have access to player ratings, so I'm unable to do any smart weighting work (although I have plenty of...

There have been several discussions in the past about HP precision. To briefly summarize those threads, older Pokemon games (not sure what happens in 6, 7, and 8) have an HP bar that is 48 pixels wide. The number of pixels in this bar is the only information you get about how much HP a Pokemon...

Hello everyone. Some of you may remember Technical Machine (old thread, older thread), the Pokemon AI. Well, it's on Pokemon Showdown now. There are still a couple of minor things left to fix with it on Pokemon Showdown (it just does random battles right now,it doesn't understand U-turn and...

You can easily get Pokemon Showdown to work with NoScript without compromising your security on other sites. First, you need to allow pokemonshowdown.com and http://localhost. However, NoScript's ABE (Application Boundaries Enforcer) still does not let Pokemon Showdown work if you are trying...

Replay of this battle Hippowdon can't do anything against Gliscor since it has Taunt, so I go to Rotom-W. It can threaten Gliscor with Hydro Pump or Shadow Ball, and use Thunderbolt for other Pokemon. Gliscor Taunts. I decide to use Shadow Ball instead of Hydro Pump. 100% accuracy + the...

I am fighting Technical Machine with it searching to a depth of 3. It looks like we have a mirror-match: stall vs. stall. Alternatively, you can see the replay here. We both start out by setting up Stealth Rock, and then I decide to try for Spikes. However, Technical Machine switches in Rotom-W...

As I've been testing TM, I've gotten into some decent battles with it. This thread will serve as an archive for TM's battles that I think are especially good. List of all battles: david stone vs. Technical Machine -- depth=2, stall team david stone vs. Technical Machine -- depth=3, stall...

What should we be doing for timer settings? I can see 5 options, of which four are probably useful. The last could theoretically be added on to the others as a secondary timer option, but is probably useless and only mentioned for completeness. 1) No timer 2) Fischer time. This is popular in...

Technical Machine's home page, Mercurial repository, and old thread. I am working on an AI to play Pokemon called Technical Machine. I am starting work on generation 5. Here's a quick overview of where it is now: It can load a Pokemon Online or Pokemon Lab team file and connect to a Pokemon...

Technical Machine is my Pokemon Artificial Intelligence (AI). It recently battled against Hunter on Pokemon Lab in a generation 4 battle. This battle was done with Technical Machine set to search to a depth of 2. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69021 AI team: Technical Machine...

Major update! Technical Machine home page and Mercurial repository. I am working on an AI to play Pokemon (I'll make a more in-depth, general thread on it later), and one of the things I need is an evaluation function. I am using an expectiminimax algorithm with alpha-beta pruning, which...

When a Pokemon is hit by a Sleep move, it gets 1-4 "fast asleep" messages and prior to waking up. This means that you have a 0% chance to wake up on the first turn of sleep, a 1/4 chance to wake up on the second turn of sleep, a 1/3 chance to wake up on the third turn of sleep, a 1/2 chance to...

First of all, read the grammar standards page. The rest of this post will deal with more general problems that many of our analyses have. Length: A long analysis is not a good analysis. An analysis that is too short risks lacking information, but one that is too long risks burying the useful...

You have 127 EVs total (due to division by 4, it's easier to think of 127 than 512 with multiples of 4 being required... Just think of it as the points at level 100 rather than the EVs themselves), with no more than 63 allowed per stat. You have 6 stats to distribute them among. How many...

In ADV, via use of the Pomeg Berry to reduce HP of the lead Pokemon to -1, you could train a Pokemon while it is in its egg. It gets exp and can evolve. When it hatches, it remains at level 5, but if it evolved from training, your egg hatches as the evolved form. This allows thing like level 5...

The setup for these stats is simple: Assume every Pokemon has to do a heads up battle against every other Pokemon. It can optimize its EVs, item, moves, etc. for each match up, and knows which Pokemon it is facing in any given match up. A Pokemon is said to dominate another Pokemon if it can use...

I'm looking for a free software / freeware (I would prefer free software, as in freedom) video editing program, but I know absolutely nothing about them. I have Windows Vista and GNU / Linux. I really only have one requirement. I have a bunch of photos of me, and I want the software to be able...

I was talking to my girlfriend about animal testing, and she caught me on the one thing I know I'm inconsistent about, and the thing that is the hardest moral issue for me. I therefore need to get educated about it for the next time I talk to her about it. To most people, these are three...

Is there a list somewhere showing which languages someone would need to learn to be able to speak to the largest number of people given that they are willing to learn some arbitrary number of languages? The only lists I can find give me that language for knowing only one language (it's English)...

Now that the Policy Review sub-forum no longer exists, I'd like to ask that people post threads that would have been in Policy Review in Stark general, not in Inside Scoop. There is no reason to keep important discussion of that nature secret.
