Hey guys,
I'm currently working on a Statistics project at my school that will involve using Pokemon Showdown, and one of the criteria for this project is that I ask a "relevant" statistical question and answer it. My teacher has some questions about the "relevancy" of an online Pokemon Battling simulator, and to demonstrate that this in fact is a relevant study I'm about to carry out, I wanted to provide some numbers as to the average number of users throughout a given day on Showdown. I normally see around 7,000~12,000 users online at a given time, but is there any way that I could access some more specific statistics? Thanks for the help!

Oh and sorry if this isn't a relevant thread (that I shouldn't have posted here). I'm a bit rusty on the rules :( Feel free to take it down if it's against the community guidelines.
 
I have been lurking as a guest on the main Showdown server for awhile and I saw a reference to something called a permalock. What exactly is that and how would you get one?
A lock that never expires. Its given to users who constantly break rules and get punished with temporary punishments (ex: temporary punishments aren't getting the user to stop their behavior), as well as those who break major rules (doxxing for example).

is there a list of permalocked users?
 
would it be possible to combine glicko/gxe values from 2 separate alts into one overall value? if so, what would the formula be?
 
I create an account and made a team but when the day after I came to Battle, my team was not there. I don't know why cause I save my team HELPP

did you clear your cookies? do you not allow PS to use cookies?
or are you playing on the downloadable version? (clearing cookies deletes teams, the downloadable version often deletes teams when you close it)
 
Why is gender default to random each game instead of forcing the player to chose one? Is it so that moves like Attract don't have an unfair advantage if a Pokemon's gender is set to the opposite of the default?
 
Yo, im making a server and i want to "link" my custom client to it, but idk how to do that.
-I already have the server working (with its link)
-In my case the server is hosted by glitch.com (if having a server hosted by a website is relevant), so the server files are on cloud and probably cant interact to my PC files (or thats what i think)
-Already pasted "data" from server to client, using testclient.html on chrome goes well.
-

So, now i dont have any clue of how to "send" the client info to my server, have been looking for answer the last three days and nothing.

Ideas of what is wrong?
 
I just tested natural cure on my copy of Platinum, and it doesn't display any sort of message or animation when activating. So why does it display this message when it activates on Showdown!?
(The opposing Blissey is cured by its Natural Cure!)
You can tell by watching the opponent's Pokéballs that they were cured when they switched out.
Is this true for BW, ORAS, and SM?

Teams are saved locally, so teams you build on one computer can't be accessed from another computer. If you want to use the same teams on multiple computers, then you should click the "import/export" button in the teambuilder, copy the text, and paste it into a Google doc. When you want to use the team, simply click "import/export" again and paste your team.
