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

[pika25]

Battle video 56-38289-91891 is between a rain team and a sand team. Everything goes awry here in Vs. Player, what with too many of Gastrodon's Storm Drains activating, Azumarill not being alive on turn 5, etc, because Vs. Player doesn't take into account the relative positions of the combatants.

The log goes haywire at Turn 2 when attacks target the wrong Pokemon, such as my own Tornadus hitting my own Terrakion on the opposite end, and then strange things happen. The actual battle would not look like this, of course, and Garchomp's Dual Chop happened to miss, not critical hit, as this log suggests. Strange things are logged in the end too when a Pokemon that supposedly fainted from earlier turns came out of nowhere with "X was trying to use Y attack"... I guess triple battles don't record well with this yet.

So the whole moral of the story is, Pokécheck needs to take into account combatants' positions during a triples.

Yeah, I have a problem with my battle video. In the actual video, I never scored a critical hit against a serperior which was stalling my blaziken, yet there was a critical hit in the Showdown-style replay. And after that, The blaziken was blindly just using attacks, with no other pokemon sent out. Can someone see to this?
