Pokémon Recommendation Engine
Using t-SNE, I wrote a Shiny app that recommends similar Pokémon. Try it out here. Needless to say, I was and still am a big fan of the Pokémon games. So I was very excited to see that a lot of the meta data used in Pokémon games is available on Github due to the Pokémon API project. Data on Pokémon’s names, types, moves, special abilities, strengths and weaknesses is all cleanly organized in a few dozen csv files.
