I think we can all agree that many potential debates could do well with some data to reference. Although the pokemon usage statistics have made it possible to define OU objectively, as well as other applications, some more statistics might provide insights into some of the current and future topics on this forum (and elsewhere). The good news is that Shoddy Battle actually saves a log of every battle that takes place (indexed by date), and it is possible to glean other data from these logs than usage of pokemon. Since the logs for the past few months are many gigabytes big, I am not able to directly upload the "raw data" (which has been requested by some people).
Keeping in mind the limitation that data has to be collectible by parsing logs, what sort of statistics would be useful for these discussions? Once we decide on some (and I write the scripts), we can even find the statistics for all previous months of ladder battles, since the logs are still archived.
