Beta: the Pokécheck VS. Player (battle video parser)

[ProjectTitan313]

Wow, its been a while since a bug report :/
Anyway, here we go http://www.pokecheck.org/?bid=495431168675&text
Right at turn 1, the Scarfed Spinda Skill Swap's Contray with Latios, and getting Levitate in return. Later in the same turn, Ninetales Role Play's the Spinda and actually gets Levitate, which the player mistook as Contrary. It didn't actually cause any sort of desync in this case, but whatever caused it certainly has the ability to do so. :P

First time poster. This was from an IR Triple Battle. The official video is no longer accessible on the Global Terminal, so I can't say exactly where everything went wrong, but the first thing I noticed was that it says that "Al's Venusaur used Sleep Powder on Sceptile", which definitely did not happen. Venusaur used Sleep Powder on Brienne (Tyranitar), who then cured herself with the Lum Berry. It's possible that this first blip started a chain reaction that messed up the rest of the battle, but I'm not sure. It's possible the data itself just got corrupted.

Forgive the double-post, but here's another video problem. One thing I've noticed is that the VS. Player doesn't show Zoroark's Illusion. This isn't really a big deal, but I find it odd since Pokemon Showdown is capable of showing that. Aside from that, this battle was pretty much fine until Turn 18 where it said "Sadako flinched and cannot use Disable." Sadako (Gengar) did use Disable and it worked, it's just that Deryn (Charizard) used Outrage instead of Fire Fang again as I predicted, so the Disable didn't really make a difference. Then in Turn 19 it said that Deryn was confused, which didn't happen until Turn 20. Then in Turn 21, it says that Deryn snapped out of its confusion and used Aerial Ace. What actually happened was that Deryn hurt itself in confusion and then fainted after getting hit by Superpower and the sandstorm.

Problems With Copycat http://www.pokecheck.org/?bid=674939025171 Copycat is supposed to call the last move successfully used, not the last move a Pokémon was trying to use (which in this case was Crustle's X-Scissor, hence the desync), Riolu actually went for a semi-sweep with Copycat Roars until the last Pokémon (Scrafty in this case), then Scrafty went to town with Rest and Shed Skin.

Wonder launcher single battle: http://www.pokecheck.org/?bid=471490497980 On turn 1, Illuminate's (Starmie) Psychic was supposed to do 64 damage, not 54, to Gastrodon, and the same-turn Mirror Coat was then supposed to do 128 instead of 108. (Illuminate held a Twisted Spoon.) Afterwards, on turns 10-12, the RNG desynched because Evil's (Alomomola) HP wasn't synched during these launcher turns. In particular, Pikachu's Static was supposed to reparalyze Yaiba (Samurott) after the Aqua Jet. And later on, Tepig was supposed to get a Return off on Yaiba for 38 damage (this was supposed to be a full paralysis turn). But it didn't change the battle too significantly.

We have a problem here: http://www.pokecheck.org/?bid=361950655182 Encore in rotation. The battle is synched up until the point where it says "Iceboy's Minun used Encore on Vaporeon", on Turn 4. In the real video, the Encore failed, and the Taunted Vaporeon went for Hydro Pump. (The Vs. Player claimed that the Encore worked, and Vaporeon would've used Aqua Ring but didn't use it because of Taunt.) Rest is desynched because of this, but it didn't change the battle too much.

I looked through the coding. This should be corrected:

case 145: // Big Pecks
    if($s==2 && $v<0) return false;
   break;

Doesn't the "2" denote Attack? That should be a "3" to denote Defense.

E: Wait, in some context 2 denotes Attack, whereas elsewhere 2 denotes Defense.

[codemonkey85]

I dunno anything about the source for the battle video parser, but I do know that the stats are properly enumerated in the order HP, ATK, DEF, SPD, SPATK, SPDEF. Zero-based index (the proper way) would have Attack be 1, but otherwise 2 would work as well.

Are the stats inconsistently denoted throughout the source code? Can't one simply declare const static int or enum for stats?

I found a problem with Truant: https://www.pokecheck.org/?p=search&...63-77566-38307

At turn 7 the Truant Durant uses entrainment on Volcarona to give it Truant. From then on Pokécheck says that Volcarona loafs around on every turn, which isn't what happens when you look at it on the DS. It leads to some interesting discrepencies, for example Pokécheck says that Durant was switched out, when on the DS it fainted

On turn 1, Tyranitar isn't KO'd by Focus Blast because Plus\Minus is unimplemented.

Red Card and Dragon Tail Interaction Turn 6 https://www.pokecheck.org/?bid=918373474641 On turn 6, when it said "Dylan was forced to replace Deliani with Wash", Deliani's (Forretress) Red Card activated according to Vs. Player when it really shouldn't have. Rest is desynched due to this. What actually happened http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-hzhjWTL38 (Interaction occurs at 13:32 in the video)

[pika25]

color change is not implemented properly https://www.pokecheck.org/?bid=875735434419 look at turn 5.

(E: Kecleon doesn't take sand damage the following turns. It's just a text implementation, it's just supposed to say "Kecleon became ground type" not "T-tar became rock type" (and later on, on turn 7, "Ferro became electric type"))

Towards the end, I got a double protect and managed to win (yeah I know... it was a misclick, I wanted to swagger my scizor and encore'd it by mistake), but here it gives failed protects and it results in a loss for me.

Right, subtle Encore issue

Plus\Minus is unimplemented.

Not any more

Opponent's Metagross's Zen Headbutt does more than is displayed in the simulator, as a result the Vaporeon has 15 more health than it should meaning it 'survived' the last hit against it with 5 health.
