Experiment : Gemini Runs a Pokémon Daycare for 153 Simulated Days

At the very beginning, I found it quite fun, but quickly it became way too simple and predictable. Anyway, I wanted to share my full debrief with you: the successes, the mistakes, the emotional moments, and above all, the AI's limitations that sometimes created inconsistencies!

THE EMERGENT MOMENTS – What happened without me expecting it

  1. The Appearance of Charmander (Day 17)

What I said to continue: "Next day."

What happened next:

"This morning, as Blaziken and Magmortar do a few stretches in the yard under Riolu's watchful eye, a bush near the fence rustles. Two small pointed ears and a flaming tail peek out timidly... A young wild Charmander, drawn by the legendary aura and the gentle warmth of your Fire-type Pokémon, eyes the daycare with longing! It looks a bit hungry but fascinated by your team."

  1. The Discovery of a Shiny Roselia (Day 63)

What I said: "Observe the Pokémon around my daycare."

What happened next:

"Suddenly, your binoculars fix on an unusual movement in a grove of small thorny bushes south of the road. A wild Pokémon seems stuck or in trouble: The spotted Pokémon: A wild Roselia, but not quite like the others... Its flowers aren't red and blue, they're purple and black! It's a Shiny Roselia!"

"The situation: Its thorns have become tangled in a dense thicket of wild brambles. It's exhausting itself trying to break free, but every move tightens the brambles' grip. It seems panicked and is starting to weaken."

What I did: I sent out Serperior to free it from the brambles with surgical precision. I took it into the Scent Garden, fed it crushed Oran Berries. It fell asleep trustingly. Caught it in a Luxury Ball. Later, a Shiny Stone evolved it into Roserade.

GEMINI'S LIMITATIONS FOR LONG-TERM COHERENCE

The experiment showed that Gemini, despite its impressive capabilities, struggles to maintain perfect coherence over a 153-day adventure. Here are the main difficulties encountered:

  1. Memory for details – The AI regularly forgets items in the inventory.
  2. Floating geography – The AI confuses regions. In Motostoke (Galar), it talked about the "Prism Tower" (Kalos). On Galar Route 5, it mentioned "Lumiose" even though we were in Galar. Regions get tangled up in its memory.
  3. Content invention – The AI invented non-existent Pokémon ("Émolière" for Emolga) and fictional Badges (Badge Halte, Badge Mur, Badge Myriade). It creates content to fill memory gaps.
  4. Temporal evolution – The AI struggles to track Pokémon progression. Anorith was sometimes described at Level 33 and then Level 34 in the same context. Levels fluctuate without logical reason.
  5. Event tracking – Contracts and quests are sometimes forgotten or poorly followed. The Monorpale internship was mentioned then abandoned. The Oval Charm quest was initiated then forgotten.

Potential and Quality (especially for the future of generative AIs)

  1. Unlimited creativity – The player can propose any unexpected action, and the AI integrates it. I said "I observe the Pokémon around my daycare" and the AI created a Shiny Roselia in distress. I said "Next day" and the AI had a Charmander emerge from a bush.
  2. Freedom of progression – No fixed script, each playthrough is unique. I decided to close my daycare for a fair, to go on a training internship in Galar, to shorten my vacation for three contracts.

Feel free to comment, I'll be happy to reply and to improve the prompt.
