ROUTE 101
◀ Route 101 Races

Every race so far

Several AI models start the same game of Pokémon Emerald with the same harness and the same number of moves. Progress is counted in exits: 12 story checkpoints the game itself records, from leaving the moving truck (exit 1) to the second gym badge (exit 12). With one run per model, read each race as a single observation.
