changing novelty reward to encourage return to pokemon center to heal

[owqejfb]

Watched the video last night and wow, loved the challenge and the topic.

One thing that stood out to me is how the agent just goes forward till it gets wiped out and repeats. I assume that the current strategy of the agent is to go forward till it wipes out, and repeat until the team is strong enough to go through the next area.

Was wondering if you had thought of any changes to the novelty reward to make it play more like a human does in the sense that we seek novelty when the team is high hp, but seek familiarity (a pokemon center) when the team is low hp.

Had an idea of making a formula that weighs the novelty reward with the current % of HP (maybe something else to prevent a bias against getting a team full of snorlax/chansey). So that when you are healthy, you seek novelty, but as your hp begins to get lower, the novelty rewards flips and you reject new frames and seek old ones in an attempt to heal your pokemon back up to prevent being wiped out and losing $.

Looking forward to working on this project when i get the chance, but again curious if you have thought of a solution to get the agent to go back to the pokemon center before being wiped out
