Disagree - Simple, as an ability, would be enough to create Uber Tier. Just several gens later. Then after the mega stone fiasco of Gen 6, it would have expanded rapidly.

One idea I had was iterations of bots that execute different battle strategies - defined with some explicit decision tree - that maybe I test at a place like Showdown. While this seems a decent approach for *testing* strategies, it seems a poor approach for strategy discovery, limiting me to just what I can imagine. Ideally I could pursue some kind of analytic approach, but it's tough to consider where one might start on that. Maybe I'm just not ready yet. Another possibility is consulting with regular players and experts and so on. But that defeats the point, and locks strategy to conventional wisdom, though requiring enough detail to support bot implementation and getting quantitative feedback through bot performance could be a decent corrective.
There's a way cognitive scientists come up with computational models of decision processes and maybe if I just get around to finding out how they do that, I'll have a better idea of what can be done here.
Imagine writing a machine learning pokemon bot and having it metagame itself for about a week, then battling it and it beating you with something like Level One Aron except it's something humans haven't been doing.
I'd go white as a sheet.
Oh it looks like you're just talking about the bot piloting a team that you already made for it.
That shouldn't be too hard.

"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"
So a fair number of people have donated to the point I've raised about a third of what I need to attend the Pokemon World championships, I don't recognise all names and some have done so anonymously so I'd like to thank anyone from here from the depths of my heart for anything given. It means a lot to me. I'm getting closer to realising this, so if you're interested in helping me out please feel free to check out the post I've quoted >~<
My first shiny. Ever. I've been playing since i was 7, so that's 20 years of not getting a shiny. (Red Gyadaros and Gamestop gifts don't count, obviously)
I consider mine a golden geodude and look at least it's not a zubat

I've setup a gofundme page I'll be sharing with the Pokémon community too. It's a long shot, but it's the only one I have right now. You can find it here:
If you've got anything to spare and want to help me out feel free to have a look. Any help would be invaluable to me.
That's all, I'll see how this goes. If I do manage to raise the funds my entire trip and time there will be documented with photos for all to follow.
Thanks so much!
I'm in need of anywhere between 100-200 more to be able to book my flights there and literally any bit helps as the flight prices are being wacky as heck right now. I've got a job with more shifts now so my money for accommodation is sorted, just this final little. I've raised over three-quarters so I'm really close, and some of the donations may have been from scummers so thanks! <3
Sorry for bumping this again, this will be the last time and I'm aware it could be somewhat annoying, I'm just trying to grasp at any means able to allow me to accomplish this and go to the World Championships. <3
I don't know if anyone here would be interested, but I now have a Switch and am planning to buy the Nintendo Online Family Plan on November 1st, so if anyone wants to get in on that (It is 35 dollars a year for up to 8 people to use, compared to 20 dollars for an individual) we can all save a bit of money.
