Pokemon Laboratory is the latest version of the original 4th generation Pokemon simulator, Shoddy Battle. This project is a near 100% rewrite of the original program that strives to be a 100% accurate recreation of Pokemon battle mechanics. Currently support for the 4th generation of Pokemon games (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and Heart Gold/Soul Silver) is available. The program is free and open source software. Currently, there is no active development of new features, only basic maintenance.
