So, just a little taste of what's coming next month, I've rewritten my log reader script. Previously, all the thing did was parse a battle log and pull out the names of the pokemon that appear in the battle.
Now, here's what it generates:
Code:
ZcX
Mienshao: 3,6
Espeon: 0,4
Volcarona: 1,6
Abomasnow: 1,1
Scizor: 1,6
Cloyster: 0,1
***
Darkrais shadow
Ferrothorn: 0,3
Gastrodon: 0,3
Heatran: 3,9
Landorus: 0,1
Conkeldurr: 3,5
Gengar: 0,3
***
Ferrothorn vs. Mienshao: Ferrothorn switched out
Gengar vs. Mienshao: Mienshao switched out
Gengar vs. Scizor: Gengar switched out
Ferrothorn vs. Scizor: Ferrothorn was KOed
Conkeldurr vs. Scizor: Scizor was KOed
Conkeldurr vs. Espeon: Conkeldurr switched out
Espeon vs. Gastrodon: Espeon switched out
Gastrodon vs. Volcarona: Gastrodon switched out
Gengar vs. Volcarona: Gengar was KOed
Heatran vs. Volcarona: Volcarona was KOed
Heatran vs. Mienshao: Heatran switched out
Landorus vs. Mienshao: Mienshao switched out
Abomasnow vs. Landorus: Landorus was KOed
Abomasnow vs. Conkeldurr: Abomasnow was KOed
Conkeldurr vs. Espeon: Conkeldurr switched out
Espeon vs. Heatran: Espeon was KOed
Cloyster vs. Heatran: Cloyster was KOed
Heatran vs. Mienshao: Heatran was KOed
Gastrodon vs. Mienshao: Gastrodon was KOed
Mienshao vs. Conkeldurr: double down

Okay, so what are you looking at? The first two sections give (1) the name of the pokemon that appears in the battle, (2) the number of KOs that pokemon got in the match* and (3) the number of turns the pokemon was in the battle.
And what about that last section? It tells you what happened with each and every matchup.
With this data, I'll be able to tell you
not only who the best sweeper (most kills per battle) is and who the best staller (most turns out per battle), but I'll be able to generate a matrix which will tell you what happens when x goes against y. So, for instance, we might find that Ludicolo is the best counter for Kyogre (random example--not saying it's true), because in almost every matchup between the two, Kyogre is either KOed or is scared out.
So something to look forward to :)
*I'll probably be taking this out, since it can be derived from the last section.
