I can offer no real consolation unfortunately. I fear what will happen geopolitically whichever candidate wins. What does give me consolation is humility - and this might be the most nihilist thing that you'll ever hear me say, an understanding that even in the worst possible scenario, people...

As an observer from afar - I can only say I am absolutely appalled to see an American presidential candidate say "you would be in jail in my administration" and have the audience whoop. This smacks of a small country that has been under democracy for < 20 years, on the cusp of collapsing to a...

If America really is in the distressing realm of "least awful", I think Gary Johnson wins. I watched some more of the "What is Aleppo" video, and it did seem possible that he had a contextual flap from an out-of-the-blue question, and his response after was a little garbled, but he did at least...

This is what worries me the most. As a mixed race British citizen (albeit with a rather nervous disposition), I've never seen the mood like this before and it's the first time that I've ever felt uncertain about my own future in this country. Calmer people will tell me that I didn't live through...

Thanks guys :) The mega split change is due to the way that stats were collated at the time? I actually find it pretty cool to see it change into the compositions. The majority that I've found the mega has almost entirely replaced the original, but seeing the more gentle splits like TTar...

Approved by celticpride Traditionally, usage data has been analysed in month-by-month slices, as and when new statistics are published. This is great for looking at short term changes, for example the impact of a particular centralising Pokemon being banned from a tier. What about longer term...

I've spent most of the afternoon playing with this team, and I must say I've really enjoyed it, got myself safely onto the ladder too. I played around with stall in DPP OU and a little in BW OU as well, perhaps it's just a new generation and a new tier, but there was something a little more fun...

Thanks, additionally, are the lead stats generated from something other than the chaos file? I can't see anything in it that suggests that you can derive the lead stats. I would suggest the same is true of Mega forms and your metagame analysis, but am less confident asserting those. I assume...

Does anyone know what the values in the chaos.json files mean? I'll give you an example from November, ou, 0 ranking: { "Fletchinder": { "Abilities": { "flamebody": 32.062900673043, "galewings": 97.777307721119 }, ... "Raw count": 426, ... } I'd initially...

Baltimore (#6) @ New England (#1) Carolina (#4) @ Seattle (#1) Dallas (#3) @ Green Bay (#2) Indianapolis (#4) @ Denver (#2)

Loving this game. Classic from both sides - Cowboys shooting themselves in the foot, Stafford's thrown a pick. Don't know what else I expected

Weekly picks: Arizona (#5) @ Carolina (#4) Baltimore (#6) @ Pittsburgh (#3) Cincinnati (#5) @ Indianapolis (#4) Detroit (#6) @ Dallas (#3) All at home. Arizona crippled by QB issues, Big Ben gets over potential lack of Le'veon and continuous to hit Antonio and Martavius as he has done all...

You may have seen the recent thread where I showed pokestat.org.uk. Behind this is a larger intent to put statistical analysis in the hands of the average player (rather than just programmers) by means of providing visualizations. The usage graph demonstrated is a simple example of the power of...

I've got tickets to all three of the 2015 Wembley games booked after going to all three of them this year. Anyone else going?

Just done a bit of investigation. I've created a script that will pull down the file you pointed out with the url: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://sim.smogon.com:8080/Stats/2014-10/ou-1695.0.txt But really what I want to get my hands on is the chaos data, which I...

Hey, thanks for flagging that. I was aware the size of the graph wouldn't resize based on resolution, but wondered just how many people it would affect! Seeing as it is affecting you it seems worth raising an issue and trying to fix it! Nice graphs :) Very useful!!! It seems worth try to...

Indeed, but it shouldn't stop us speculating either! I think the real fun of this is noticing correlations and then reasoning your way to causation (should it exist.) We've already seen if you look back through this thread. You can make an argument that loads of Pokemon affected each other after...

Thanks for that. I know Antar is able to provide some kind of usage statistics for mega forms, but I'm not exactly sure what they're supposed to represent. I'll need to do some investigation. I've raised an enhancement request, so I don't forget! A really interesting insight, thanks! Slowbro's...

Yes - potentially. You'd want to be able to specify the range of months? It's certainly possible, I've raised an enhancement request. I hope so. If the old data hadn't all be lost I would indeed be working on it right now, but alas it's not. We have usage data from November onwards, and that...

I plotted all 5 of the Pokemon mentioned above on to it. Really interesting to note the "discovery" of Sand Offence between April and May - I'd like a bit of insight here, though. Is that a popularity trend, or is it based off other factors? You noted that it spiked as Rotom-W usage hit around...
