Tip for if you do things like this in the future: Use prompt engineering. Maybe you can instruct it in the beginning that it knows it’s playing Pokémon, and you only need to provide your opponent and changes that happen on your screen. Also forcing it to only reply with what move it needs to play, or switch to what other Pokémon, etc. That will also be way faster as you don’t need to wait for and decipher the essay

“You do not know the power of the gamer. Chat GTP. For you are nothing more than noob while I am a pro!” I have no idea why that popped into my head XD

[@Nullpersona]

You know your priorities, but the AI does not. Also, you may be able to convince ChatGPT that it is a hypothetical pokemon player, to get past the decision-making safety warnings. Telling it you want to collect all pokemon, and gain experience as fast as possible could help it define behaviors other than avoiding losing by running away. Good luck, trainer!

[@ShaddyFromHatena]

You can also try to limit its output choices by saying things like. "You can only respond with Tackle, Bubble, Pokeball, or Flee"

[@santosic]

I want to try this now that we have Custom Instructions. Just put all of that as a custom instruction and then simply feed it the state of the game as you progress and just make every decision it tells you to, with no exceptions. If you lose, you tell it so and to try something else. In theory, should be much smoother that way.

[@RabblesTheBinx]

I mean, I just started the initial prompt with "I want you to make all the decisons" and it immediately named the player Alex, the rival Ryan, and chose Charmander as its starter. I did have to kind of guide it to try to leave the town, because it wanted to go straight to Oak's lab and couldn't figure out that if Oak is not there, it should try something else.

[@sparkselm173]

ChatGPT: I'm sorry, but there is no such thing as a 3-sided dice. Also ChatGPT: *literally states a 3-sided dice exists, and explains what it is*

[@b.clarenc9517]

A stat-reducing move is obviously more efficient the sooner it is used. However, in the first battle, charGPT considers that using Tail Whip is a good idea *because* Bulbasaur's HP is low (it said it several times). This is weird.

[@yakopc6600]

That's right. But you might have missed the instance where it called Bubble and Water Gun "healing" moves, that was weirder xD.

[@zuckerprinzessin5412]

"You've lost sound privileges" xD

[@ddlc_monika]

so here's some suggestions for if you ever want to continue this stuff: 1. somewhere in your emulator you should be able to locate the game state hex tables. If anything, it's in one of the files somewhere, either look around for Romhacker Guides on this or fiddle around. Locate all the values you manually put in, maybe expand it (pokemon, pokemon type, move 1-4, move type 1-4, level, exp, enemy pokemon, enemy pokemon type, enemy level, both hp values, status effects, weather etc.) 2. for anything coming out not as hex value ChatGPT can work with (i.e. Level 50 works, Pokemon ID 120 I'd doubt) use one of the hundreds of available APIs to dynamically look it up OR, even better, make your script import lookup tables as readily available .csv data which I'm sure you can just find lying around online. 3. IF the game enters a "battle choice" state, run the prompter and feed it directly into ChatGPT Would make this at least a little less tedious.

[@OryxTheDragon]

Just wait until chatGPT learns of how CB made his AI learns to walk videos. If there was no apocalypse before, there will be one afterwards.

There's a feature in OBS to record different sound sources on two different tracks so you can edit your voice and gameplay audio separately. They're both baked into the same video file, I highly recommend for this sort of editing situation

[@Mr_Bloom]

I tried this in ChatGPT after watching this. I did one thing differently. I told ChatGPT that it had a Squirtle and I had a Pidgey. I then proceeded to tell GPT what “my” Pidgey did and the effect then told it that it was GPT’s turn and it actually responded with a move. I then just updated it on the HP after each move and told GPT when it was it’s turn and it went through the entire battle. Downside to this: since GPT thinks it’s a battle between players it will never try to run or catch the opponent Pokémon.

[@KrakatonMain]

5:57 oh god, reading the AI's prompts is cursed af. It thinks Absorb is an ability and that Squirtle will heal itself when using Water Gun. It thinks lowering Bulbasaur's defense will reduce the damage Squirtle takes. Guys, I think we're okay. Pretty sure AI isn't going to be taking over much of anything in the foreseeable future

[@underrated1524]

Wow, I didn't know half this stuff about Poke mans. I am learn. 1. It's best to wait until the opponent's HP is lowered to use stat reducing moves like Tail Whip. Don't lower the stats first to get the most value, what good would that be? 2. Tail Whip reduces the damage output of its target. (Don't listen to anyone saying that's Growl that does that.) 3. Squirtle's ability is not Torrent, but rather, it's Absorb. That means its water type moves like Bubble and Water Gun also restore Squirtle's HP. 4. If you encounter a wild Pokemon but don't have any Poke Balls, lower its HP to set yourself up for when you get Pokeballs later. That's a thing that works, right? 5. It's a good idea to switch out your Pokemon in preparation for attempting to run away. 6. Little known fact: Water is super effective against Normal.

I recently had an appendectomy so my perception of time has fucked itself and I genuinely thought it had been two months since you posted on this channel, that being said congrats on managing to keep your weekly posting goal for over a week

[@codahighland]

I tried doing this very thing a few weeks ago. I used Red instead of Fire Red, and I designed my prompts to be more compact instead of using a conversational style. It worked... Kinda. I had some early successes. The prompt setup worked flawlessly and the AI gave usable output. It handled the game's first battle fine, so I used a save editor to go to the Elite Four, gave it a copy of the Rival's best team, and tried having it fight Lorelei. The first attempt started well. It immediately switched out from the Pidgeot it started with to Alakazam against Dewgong. It made enough good choices to get through all of Lorelei's Pokemon except the Lapras. Some move choices seemed questionable but when they worked out I wondered if the AI knew something I didn't. But then it lost four members of its own team before finally managing to beat Lapras. I wondered if maybe the issue was that the movepools sucked. I edited the team to have better moves and tried again... And again... And again. It never did as well again. It made horrible decisions. It always tried to keep Pidgeot in against Dewgong no matter what I tried. It picked status moves when it could have gotten OHKOs. That's where I gave up. I've got ideas on new ways to write the prompts if I ever try again, but the pain of that initial failure made me decide NOT to try scripting an integration with an emulator.

[@codahighland]

I had gotten the potion out of the PC at the beginning of the game. It did indeed insist on using it during the intro rival fight. I decided not to tell it that it had healing items against the Elite Four.

[@bosstowndynamics5488]

To be fair, I don't think GPT has much training data on detailed text descriptions of Pokemon battles to use as templates, or at least not many with enough detail to generate good responses. The reason it's fairly good at programming for instance is because StackOverflow exists

[@santosic]

I think if we had some way to feed it data about Pokemon moves and their typings before starting, it would probably perform better. Somehow I don't think it fully understands the nuances of each move and how they interact with each other

[@Freegy1998]

To get specific answers, ask the AI to roleplay as "Bob" (or any other names, doesn't matter). Then ask all the questions to Bob

[@shadowfreak3064]

Tipp for future videos with ChatGPT. You can just ask ChatGPT to roleplay as the main charackter in the game. Then it will actually make decissions.

[@CrafterOfNights]

you can provide hyperparameters to chatGPT and provide some context such as, personality: Pokemon World Champion with a chip on his shoulder traits: annoying, optimistic, problem solving, confident and then ask it questions which should give it something to go off and give you better repsonses

[@MowiWowi]

I enjoyed this video and i want to see more like it🍿

[@TSPxEclipse]

I've learned that with ChatGPT, you have to be extremely exact and literal to get short and precise responses/suggestions. I've found that it is easy to do by starting the chat with a bunch of rules. For instance, "I will give you a prompt reflecting the current status of Pokemon while I play it, and want you to decide which action I should perform in a fight given the current status to ensure victory. I will provide things like my pokemon's HP, opponent HP, my moveset, and other available options. You must choose which action is the most appropriate for each turn." then provide the prompts.
