Playing Time Equation:
From: | To: |
The Even Playing Time Calculator helps Pokemon trainers distribute battle time fairly among their team members. It calculates how much time each Pokemon should participate to ensure equal opportunity in battles or training simulations.
The calculator uses the following equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation distributes the total available player-minutes (game time × positions) evenly across all team members.
Details: Fair play time ensures balanced team development, prevents over-reliance on certain Pokemon, and helps maintain team morale and experience distribution.
Tips: Enter battle duration in minutes, number of active positions (typically 1 for single battles, 2 for doubles), and total Pokemon on your team (usually 6 for standard teams).
Q1: How does this apply to different battle formats?
A: Adjust the "Positions" value - 1 for singles, 2 for doubles, 3 for triple battles, etc. The calculator will automatically adjust the time distribution.
Q2: What if I want to give certain Pokemon more time?
A: This calculator provides equal distribution. For custom distributions, you'll need to manually calculate based on your preferred ratios.
Q3: Does this account for switching during battles?
A: No, this calculates theoretical equal time. Actual battle time may vary based on strategy and switching frequency.
Q4: How can I use this for training simulations?
A: The same principle applies - divide your available training time equally among all team members based on how many can train simultaneously.
Q5: What's a good benchmark for playing time?
A: This depends on your training goals, but ensuring each Pokemon gets at least 20-30% of potential battle time helps maintain balanced development.
