Theoretical analysis of Game Theory with solutions and approximations to finding nash equilibria, as well as discussion on Recursive and Stochastic games
https://www.math.ucla.edu/~tom/Game_Theory/mat.pdf
Recursive Game: Game which certain combinations of pure strategies involve playing another Game
Stochastic Game: Game which certain combinations of pure strategies involve playing any one of multiple Games (or direct payoffs) with the played Game determined by chance

Paper: Optimal Battle Strategy in Pokemon using Reinforcement Learning

Not sure what this is:
https://github.com/pokeml/pokemon-agents/ - "A collection Pokémon battle agents"
https://github.com/pokeml/pokemon-env - "A NodeJS environment for developing Pokémon battle agents"

Is it possible to develop an AI that can play competitive pokemon well?:
