It’s super effective! Solving Pokemon Blue with a...
summary
Claim is that a single, huge regular expression can accept if and only if a complete button sequence wins Pokemon Blue; construction uses the state‑removal algorithm on a finite state model, Z80 disassembly for edge cases, and even probabilistic transitions to handle encounters. Dataset notes 4.83 million copies and ~118 million aggregate player hours; experimentation incurs an unexpected $9,000 AWS bill. The system is largely built and is described as workable if not yet fully complete.
