    I would've liked to see in conclusion a recommended starter team per generation! Very nice article!

      I was planning in a future sequel/update to do this but with "better" constraints like only including Pokémon available in a game, etc... Maybe even separate it into early/mid/late-game availability since most optimal Pokémon are late-game anyway.

    Why is y+2x optimal at (0,3) with a value of 3? Isnt it (3,0) with a value of 6?

      Good catch! Especially since I ended up drawing y - x = C but didn't update the legend. I updated it!

      you're right, it should be (3,0) with optimal obj value of 6.

    this was a great read to start the new year! having worked extensively with mixed integer programs, it is always a bit disheartening to see them not used enough for everyday decision-making. one of my goals this year is to create a layer to make it easier to formulate mips and test them, via plain text input. this would hopefully increase adoption through a lower barrier to entry.

    Lots of people working in IT have tattoos, I like to see what theme/image overlap they have.

    Three people in my current workplace have a balloon tattoo (interestingly all of them are red balloons). Five people in my current workplace have a Pokémon tattoo that is easily visible.

    Edit: Including myself, on both counts, I should have said.

    Small typo(?):

    > Mewtwo (#151)

    Should be 150

      Thank you, you're right! For some reason I always forget mew comes after mewtwo in the pokedex...
