    All Gens Reforming How We Advertise Spotlight Voting

    I feel like changing ladders every 5 days is way too short. For context, most spotlight ladders give players 5 days to vote on the next ladder, so spending 5 (or even 3) days for a 5 day ladder seems like a huge overexertion and a lot of effort for very little reward. I am fine with 2 week...

    Battle Bot Pokerus: Selfplay + Teambuilder Bot reached #1 on Gen9 OU ladder

    Teambuilding is definitely a new frontier for Pokemon AI. How does the model give out rewards of a team that it has built?

    I'm not sure what this is trying to say. Is this suggesting that we add certain oldgen lower tiers as permanent ladders, or is this saying that we should bypass the voting stage and have a small set of decision makers be the tier picked? We don't control the first option, as Pokemon Showdown...

    This is definitely something I could see being done. It would simplify the spotlight decision process and would ensure that every generation gets ladders with regular intervals. We would probably just stagger them with the Ubers/UU spotlights if we did that (i.e if the ladder is RBY UU, then the...
