Battle Bot Birch's Brew

I'm not really a Davis fan but I love the name.

This bot has been running on Gen 3 OU showdown ladder (registered!) for a few weeks now, mostly off. It peaked 1690's with uniform sampling from the Johnald team dump. I also ran it on mono-meme teams and it was approx. 1450-1600 during that time. This is the work I promised when I released `hoenn` a few weeks ago. It's policy only, no search (although I will try that out soonish when I'm happy with it.)

Thank you to everyone with the bot matching option enabled. I would like for this account to be a ladder jester, and matching into it to be refreshing rather than tiresome. It could also maybe serve as competent opponent when challenged, with the point being its always available. Besides the meme team flex parade I also tried a mode where you could paste any legal team and the bot would load it next game. That saw a few uses, mostly for sabotage...

In a few days I will release a binary that runs the network on the meme team pool. It will only connect to locally hosted showdown, which lets anyone run it on their computer and server hosters may run it for their remote users. I won't go into details but it's at least x10 easier to train your own network than it is to "jailbreak" my program to abuse the showdown ladder 😉.

If anyone has any feature/mode requests this is the place to ask.

EDIT: My b this should be posted in the bot subforum. Can it be moved please?
:slowbro: done
