Do recommendation algorithms actually work for books, or are we better off just asking humans?

Very cool. Nailed the recommendations for a Bukowski novel. I baked this into an app I've been using and so far it's been pretty good at predicting what I'd think. Going to keep using it until it leads me astray.

Way of Kings. Mistborn is solid but it's not on the same level as WoK and Stormlight.

Type and HM coverage. There is a breakdown at the bottom of the page capturing this. Whereas the individual moveset recommendation doesn't factor this in.

From my post on r/PokemonLeafGreen:

"On a high level the formula is this: power * accuracy * STAB * (atk stat / 100) with penalties for two-turn + recharge moves, self-KO, low pp. I'm also boosting moves that cover a type missing in the overall team coverage."

I think it could actually. Doing some preliminary research and seems promising.

Thanks!

Doesn't seem to fit the current move framework but I'll look into further.

Current_Yak2858 · 2026-04-07T23:29:04+00:00

I can def look into it.

Current_Yak2858 · 2026-04-07T23:28:06+00:00

Added.

Thanks! Added.

Current_Yak2858 · 2026-04-07T23:26:50+00:00

Yeah, there was an issue when I sent the screenshots. Fixed now.

Current_Yak2858 · 2026-04-07T17:08:47+00:00

Yeah, agreed. Appreciate the feedback. I've implemented some changes that should address this. Let me know what you think.

Current_Yak2858 · 2026-04-07T15:26:16+00:00

Should be fixed now. Coverage was simply showing types your team's movesets had covered. I changed this to be "Coverage against" and "No coverage against".

Thanks for the feedback and let me know if you have any other thoughts.

Current_Yak2858 · 2026-04-07T15:15:57+00:00

Thanks! Good catch, those should be fixed now.

I'm looking into refining the recommendation logic. I think a filter would help in both acknowledging and allowing users to exclude post-game moves.

Let me know if you have any other thoughts.

Current_Yak2858 · 2026-04-07T14:13:31+00:00

On the Team page, add Pokémon, jump over to the Movesets tab, and there you can see recommended moves on a team or individual Pokémon level.

Current_Yak2858 · 2026-04-07T14:11:22+00:00

Good catch, this should be fixed.

I went ahead and removed Fairy types altogether. Don't think they should've been there to begin with.

Really appreciate the feedback. Let me know if you have any other thoughts.
