You work at Nintendo as a data scientist. The marketing team have approached you because
they want to develop some new Pokémon in order to add new trading cards. You have been
asked to analyse the current Pokémon data set and develop some ideas for the new
Pokémon/s that will be included in the trading cards.
The marketing team have no preconceived ideas about the sorts of attributes the new
Pokémon should have. It could be a new classification, higher attack or defense or new
legendary Pokémon type. Nintendo head office have provided you with a dataset and have
asked to provide a report with recommendations about what attributes you think these new
Pokémon cards should have and justifications for your suggestions.
First, the marketing team would like to get a better understanding about what sorts of
attributes the current Pokémon/s have. They have asked you to describe the data and find
interesting phenomena.
Second, the marketing team have asked you to explore the data in more detail. They would
like you to use your expertise in data science to dig out anything you feel is interesting or
significant. Further, they would like you to be able to make some predictions about which
Pokémon/s your new proposed Pokémon/s would win battles against, in particular whether
they would be likely to win against Kyogre.
You are required to prepare a report about your findings and to make suggestions about
which attributes you would recommend be included in these new Pokémon/s profiles and to
justify why you chose these attributes. You are also required to provide the script of the code
you have used to prepare and explore your data. A notepad template is provided for you to
complete.
