Hey guys, I have a question. Is it possible to create a bot that will battle for you? If it is, please tell me how I can do it.
I doubt it. While trainers like that exist in many RPGs, POS is a bit too complex. If all went well, you'd have a Bug Catcher-intelligence bot that couldn't predict or anything. Also why would you ever need a bot like this? You gotta work hard to ladder up yaknow...
You can use the battle scripts feature I guess. There's a proper explanation to them somewhere. I'd link, but I'm unable to at the moment.
I thought this was what Shanai was doing. You could easily get a bot that repeatedly repeats a move or something, but I doubt you could get a really good one that can predict moves, and analyse the situation in battles.
