It would be extremely cool if they'd expose information such as what moveset each Pokémon has available to them so I could make queries like 'what water type Pokémon that can learn Hydro Pump has the highest Special Attack stat'.
There is a lot of computing going on there, DPS (Damage Per Second) possibly modified by upgrades and enemy type, etc. This data could be genuinely useful to the SC community.

Maybe consider scraping bulbapedia into an SQL database? :) -- i'm dreaming SELECT pokemon.name FROM pokemon JOIN pokemon_learn_moves ON pokemon.id = pokemon_learn_moves.pokemon_id JOIN move ON pokemon_learn_moves.move_id = move.id WHERE move.name_en = "Hydro Pump" ORDER BY pokemon.sp_atk DESC LIMIT 1; Actually, from this perspective there's a lot of boilerplate, no wonder people like key-value stores... Then use pyt…
select(p.name for p in pokemon
if "Hydro Pump" in p.learn_moves.move.en_name
).order_by("p.sp_atk").first()I'd be much more interested in WolframAlpha merging data about StarCraft II. There is a lot of computing going on there, DPS (Damage Per Second) possibly modified by upgrades and enemy type, etc. This data could be genuinely useful to the SC community.
Always liked WolframAlpha, this is also awesome. But what i really like, is to match stuff like protein in bananas vs spinach to know what i'm going to (prefer to) eat soon ^^.. So, thanks!
If they did this for League of Legends characters and build calculations, I'd never leave the site.
