I believe that a tool combining the BSR calculator at http://users.smogon.com/X-Act/BaseStatsRatings.html and the equations concerning types and abilities made by X-Act at http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3677020, would be very useful for the pokemon community as a whole.
A small group of patient people with some experience with programming and a moderate amount of mathematical ability would be needed to update such calculations for the 5th Generation and incorporate how type, ability and base stats affect the overall effectiveness of pokemon in their ability to battle. It would also be useful if such a tool allowed you to select which tier you wished to use the pokemon in so that the equations could be modified to fit the metagame you are likely to face accordingly.
I would be willing to help with mathematics as I have a lot of free time on my hands during the summer Holidays. However, I don't know a thing about programming, so for this project to be successful, I would need at least 1 other person willing to help who knows how to make such a tool.
