I built a natural-language Pokémon battle calculator as a side project
I’ve been working on a small unofficial fan-made web tool called Poke Chat Calc.
The idea is to let users ask Pokémon battle questions in natural language instead of filling out a lot of fields manually.
Example inputs:
- Garchomp uses Earthquake against Dragonite
- Can Dragonite survive Garchomp’s Earthquake?
- Lucario weaknesses
- What does Sitrus Berry do?
- Mega Charizard X outspeeds Dragonite after one Dragon Dance?
Most answers come from CSV data, and AI is only used as a fallback for unclear wording. I did this because I wanted the tool to stay cheap to run and predictable.
I’m still improving the English support, so I’d really appreciate feedback on:
- whether the example prompts feel natural
- which inputs fail or feel awkward
- whether the chat-style UI is clear
- what would make it more useful for actual battles
