A second related post about a world model playing Pokémon emerged on HN at the same time, suggesting broader interest in AI game-playing benchmarks.
“Koga's lieutenant tells Jev that "Strength isn't the key for Pokemon! It's strategy!" Jev then wipes the whole gym with a single overleveled Charizard. Fitting and appropriate on many levels.”
