Pokemon Showdown AI
For this project I plan on making and training a neural network to play in a Pokemon gen-4 random battle. The code is pretty unstable right now so I wouldn't recommend trying to use it out of the box.
This project has three parts:
- PsBot framework for creating a general Pokemon Showdown bot and setting up the battle interface.
- Battle state tracker, able to make logical deductions about the opponent's team by observing the events that happen in each turn.
- Neural network management and training scripts.
Compiling/running

npm install
# Setup config, edit if needed.
cp src/config.example.ts src/config.ts
# Compile the project.
npm run build
# Lint and run tests.
npm test
# Train a neural network through self-play.
# WARNING: Requires a powerful computer, may take several hours.
