@@kylekiske_ yeah, a lot of people (especially if they're tilted) will just play on autopilot. Leading something like a choice scarf Landorus Therian and clicking u-turn turn 1 is something that will often work out well for you It's like spamming a high damage move in a fighting game which is the mark of a noob rather than "high level play", you find something that works and just keep doing it. This is an important thing to identify when trying to improve. When you catch yourself going on autopilot the best thing you can do is slow down and try to force yourself to use more time per turn (temporarily). That is not to say you always need to spend a minute thinking through every turn, experience can help you off-load a lot of the processing so you can focus your conscious thought on tricky scenarios (and sometimes you can get in "the zone" where you can play super fast because even though you're not consciously thinking about each play you subconsciously are quickly following the correct logic).

The fact that it plays to the opponents skill level means that you just made a competitive “play against AI” mode in Pokémon. That’s impressive.

Great job! Love the project, and it seems really well executed. Kudos for your dedication and hard work.

I made a PS ai, too. In fact, it was my bachelor thesis. Also we had the same ideas for many topics. I used JS as well for the exact same reason and Tensorflow. Plus I had the same idea to go over the next turn with the original ps code. There are some differences, too. You went for an Alpha Go approach because the used data is from actual pvp battles. I chose Alpha Zero, meaning I wanted the ai to learn by itself. I only used ai vs ai battles so it learns the game by itself. I think this was the main reason, why your project succeeded and mine failed. The ai battles were slow and I couldn't generate enough data in time. In the end, my neural network was very weird, it always predicted Thunder Wave and I wasn't able to fix that before the deadline. However, there is another difference and I think this idea might help you. I noticed that created teams often followed some patterns. If a team doesn't have a grass type, then it's more likely that the pokémon have grass type coverage. But wait, at a specific turn grass knot wasn't used althought I had Swampert on that turn. Could it be, that this pokémon of the opponent doesn't have the move in the set? I was able to create a system to handle this problem. It's a bit too complex for aKZread comment but if you want, I can show it via voice chat or something.

This video needs to blow up. As a showdown player myself this has been one of the most interesting videos I’ve seen. Hoping this hits it big because I’m mind boggled by the work you’ve done here. I play a variant of pokemon called draft league in which each player only has 8-12 possible pokemon to choose from and build a team of 6 and each opponent knows what the other 8-12 pokemon the opponent has. Your AI seems perfect already for something like that as compared to OU you only need to prep for 12 possible pokemon and their sets compared to the hundreds on the OU ladder. Can’t wait to see how you grow this.

Congratulations my friend, KZread just recommended this masterpiece to me, so expect a lot more people to come. Looking forward to the future of this project, and the most important part is that you are having fun with it :)

To be so young yet so bright - I'm absolutely stunned. You're an inspiration!

Absolutely killer video idea and execution. Good job with the awesome video. Cant wait to see more!

I love how you number the sources and show them at the bottom left that’s so much easier than how most channels link stuff, super cool video :3

Incredible ai you've made, this is actually astounding you were able to make this with such high odds. If only the ai could emulate how salty some players get, then it'd truly be a top tier player

The production and the program are both so insane, you will go places!

I wish you the best of luck my man, so happy for you, you're making history!!!

Excellent video! Very clear and I love your approach.

The fact that this video only has 227 views blows my mind... This is the craziest thing I've ever seen. You're the goat.

When the Go-playing computer was in the news, the first thing I thought of was "show me a computer that can play competitive Pokémon and I'll be impressed." This is awesome!

This is absolute awesome work for sure, but the Go AI is so much more difficult and impressive in every ascept. Not trying to talk this down in the slightest, of course that is no competition with a full team of Google AI scientists VS a single dude.

@@brzt4256 You significantly underestimate the complexity of Go and the effort behind AlphaGo. Pokemon is magnitudes easier to solve, because most of its numeric complexity covers cases that are trivial to rule out and/or don't play any role in the decision making. Another significant difference is that in Pokemon, only a small subset of moves have any impact on future turns, and if they do it is really straightforward. In games like chess and even more so Go a move that seems poor at the time played even for the best human player can commonly turn out to be brilliant 20, 30, 40 turns later. Pokemon is trivial in comparison which makes it way easier to train a decent AI. Also the language doesn't make much of a difference in the end (except for runtime maybe), at the core it is the same Tensorflow library which does the heavy lifting. Other languages just make your life easier.

​@@BrawlLegendLink I agree, but pokemon is far more complex at an actual competitive level. This AI can beat the equivalent of an 'average' player at pokemon, in singles OU. The skill level increases drastically after 1500s, and the distributions aren't actually representative of the communities skill (lots of competitive (>1700s) players ceebs laddering). To make a truly powerful pokemon ai, in other words 'solving' it, you would need to account for all the probabilities.

@@gattabat No, it is not. The skill ceiling is fairly low, compared to really hard games such as chess or go it is the equivalent of TicTacToe. It is impossible to brute-force solve even chess, which has much fewer possibilites overall. The difference is: In chess, it is impossible to even guarantee that a certain move is objectively bad most of the time (always whenever it does not lead to a known guaranteed loss). In Pokemon, a 6 year old can tell you that Bodyslam always is better than Tackle. Most options are like that.

Great video and project! You explain your process really well and the video editing is perfect, excellent job!

This is fantastic!! Also, great presentation and video! Very impressive!

Hey man this is the best thing I’ve ever seen props to you this is an absolutely amazing idea and you are brilliant. This video is going to blow up and this is so dope

Me and my friends have discussed this recently, it was great to see how it works, and this video explains it very well. Thank you for taking your time to do this.

The editing on this is phenomenal, as well as the topic - kudos to both the host and the editor (if they are different!)

This is incredible, thank you for putting this out there.

I just found this video, and it's absolutely amazing what you've done. This is incredibly impressive and I hope this channel blows up, you definitely deserve it

5 minutes in, I knew this video was going to be amazing! You've created something spectacular. The graphics throughout the video are also top notch and really illustrate your points well. Thank you for sharing this!

I started studying programming this year, and JS really got my attention from the beginning. Seeing this video gave me a hype boost. I'm watching this before sleep. Can't wait for tomorrow and study some more. What an amazing project

Nice work on this! I've literally started looking into ML a couple of days ago and have been really into pokemon lately too. Really glad I found this :D keep it up!

this is one of the coolest videos i’ve ever seen in my entire life and just makes pokémon even more fascinating and interesting than it already was. amazing job!!! you’re making our state proud 🍊☀️

This is incredible. I can’t wait to see where this project goes :)

Just came across this video, watched through the intro and loving your ideas and mindset so far. I have no background in engineering, not even mentioning AI or machine learning there, but you got my interest peaked!

Fascinating, amazing work bringing this together!

Why did the algorithm wait to show us this amazing video? I'm excited to see Top Players challenge your AI build in near future.

This is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for making this! Doubles is going to be amazing when it happens, I know it'll be difficult but I can't wait to see what you've got!! But either way, this is such a useful tool for showdown players and really cool knowledge! Again, thank you so much!!!

Please keep a positive attitude towards being a positive influence and I hope you keep us posted on your future endeavors. Thanks for this amazing video!

This is SO cool and one can tell you really put effort into your videos

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what passion looks like

Love your brutal honesty that's not rude. You seem chill af down to heart.

WOW!! Excellent quality. Instant subscribe. Can't wait for your channel to continue to grow!

Dude, this video is legitimately amazing. I’ve played showdown for years and always wondered just how optimized pokemon could get, and seeing this really scratches that itch. Props!
