POKEDEX

No, we still don’t have one.  That being said… I’m interested in creating one.  How would you change any of the existing PokeDexes you currently use?  Criticisms of them?  Something you wish they had?  Are there better ways to navigate?

If I cannot find a way to substantially improve on what everyone else does there is no point in making one.  So I’m extremely interested in people’s thoughts about whether or not they are currently happy with the options available to them 🙂

    • Pictures! That’s the one thing you could possibly add that would make your site trump serebii’s and pokebeach! As long as you still haven’t gotten that letter from Nintendo, you can have sprites in your pokedex!

      • Um, Veekun /do/ have sprites. They even have HQ sprites of the Gen V Pokémon, which is something Serebii has never had, even prior to the letter. It’s not like they’re easy to miss, the sprite is right near the top, just under the Pokémon’s name.

        As an aside, IMO Serebii’s has always been poor. As the user below me says, the navigation is horrible, and I’d like to add that the colour scheme is unconductive, whereas Veekun’s is very clean and easy on the eyes. And since when did PokéBeach have a PokéDex?

  1. ya…serebii’s sucks, and bulbapedia doesn’t have all the moves yet >.< so if you could kindly make a good one with easy navigation u'll be my new best friend

  2. Mix bulbapedia and smogon together and you get the perfect dex, I really enjoy the info bulbapedia gives, and the way smogon presents their stats

  3. The one thing I can’t find on any online Pokédex is good height charts, like they have in the in-game Pokédex. Several sites have generated height charts but they aren’t too accurate. This is most noticeable for the snakes, since they have their length listed instead of their height they end up huge on those sites’ charts.

    It would probably be very difficult to implement, though… The only way I can think of is taking a screenshot of everything single Pokémon’s Pokédex page…

    Uh, sorry, that’s really all I can think of at the moment… Like many Pokémon fans since Black/White came out I need sleep…

  4. I use the one on serebii, it could be improved by:
    * Animated sprites
    * Easier navigation
    * Visuals of their base stats. Like the ones on Bulbapedia. I also like their Type effectiveness chart.
    * I don’t like the way bulbapedia organizes their information. When you search a dex you mainly want to see the relevant information first: the sprites, followed by their type, type weaknesses and strengths, stats, location in game, gender distribution, the moves they learn, etc. And then all the other info. With bulbapedia it’s almost the other way around.

    And I agree with Sora that hight charts would be nice. Although not necessary.

  5. I’d agree with Patrick, it would be nice to have a pokedex that’s quicker and easier to navigate than one’s we currently have.

    Also the best pokedex in my eyes is one that has the basics for quick reference but also has more specific things for people who want to delve deeper.

  6. I agree with the above comments, but especially capture locations, alternate formes and gender differences as mentioned above. I’ve yet to find a capture location by route list anywhere. D:

  7. Search by name and sprite. That way if you know your looking for a grass pokemon but can’t remember the name (Not a problem for me) you can just see it rather than clicking on every name until you find it.

  8. recipe for a perfect pokedex: 1st add serebii’s pokedex and bulbapedia’s pokedex, then add xous’ sugimori art, mix for 10 mins, then add smogon’s pokedex, mix for another 10 mins, then add serebii’s cardex, beach’s cardex, bulbapedia’s cardex, mix for another 10 mins, add serebii’s pokespecial collection, then add the pokemon professors from deviant art work on pokemon into it, finnaly cook it for 35 mins, then take it out & serve to pjn fans

  9. Actually bulbapedia is a great example for pokedex. I love their sprite/art archive and origin(name& design) part.

    And a bit offtopic;
    About genies, we know elec/flying is raijin, flying is fujin but what about ground/flying? Is it fictional or based on another shinto deity. I searched but i couldn’t find a jin of ground, earth, soil or earthquake…

  10. maybe somthin like the real pokedex in the games?
    and ya, i am know playin the roms, i will wait for english version release, but i dont want to spoil the fun, so i am goin to finish the 8th gym and stop.
    i have a question for everyone who finished the game, is there alot of things to do after the elite 4? does the storyline continue after you beat them??

  11. The one thing i hate in serebii’s dex is that it takes so long to find stuff, my best version would be a grid like hgss in game, with name and sprites and number
    The rest idc except that the alternate forms and shiny stuff and evolution method should come before attacks and stats cuz i hate scrolling through all of that

    Reply
    • an area map as a location would be nice with specifc instructions beneath it too
      along with the chance of actually finding one it erks me to have to go to the route and learn that there is only a 4% chance of seeing it >:(

  12. Personally i find marriland’s to be the best its easy to search they hav sprites movesets evolution info location stats and even a team builder
    I cant really think of a way to make it better but im sure someone can
