Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was inspired by the original Pokemon team generator, so I decided to write this program, it's a bit of an upgrade. However, I did write the program from scratch and did not borrow any code from the original.

Okay, so my program can search for a Pokemon or team based on:
+ Primary or secondary typing
+ Region
+ Gender
+ Evolutionary stage
+ Competitive battling tier, according to this site

Don't just think of this program as just a generator, its also provides move-sets and strategies from Smogon. If you hover your mouse over the move-sets in the Strategy window, a new window with details about the attacks will appear. This window shows the move's:
+ Power
+ Accuracy
+ Type
+ Category
+ PP
+ and Description

My program also has update options, so when the tier change or new strategies get added, the program will up to date.

I wrote this program just for kicks, so I take no credit for the strategies/listing, all the credit goes to people at Smogon.

Here is the download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?nzdrlymz2wz

To run the program:
- extract the "dist" folder,
- double click on the file "Team_Generator.jar"
- Enjoy!

Here is the New PKMGenerator:


If you want to download this version, it can be found here. Keep in mind it is a jar file, so you will need the java runtime environment to use it; however, most people already have this installed; if you don't, it can be found here.

Let me know what you think!

I played around with it a bit, it looks pretty cool and it works well.

I like the strategies and builds you've included in the tool, as that gives you an idea how to use pokemon you've never tried before. However, I think this tool is aimed a bit more toward the competative enviroment?

Very cool stuff regardless!

thanks for the acknowledgements. I guess you are right about the random Pokemon challenge, but this generate by tier... oh well.

Also, I added I more feature to the newer version, if you hover over the moveset, it will list all aspects of the attacks(i.e. power, accuracy, pp, category, type, and description). I will update the 1st post with this version now.

This is absolutely amazing way to generate teams and way more complex. Thanks for making this. I know I'll use it when I'm generating teams. But anyways this is way better than the random pokemon generator on wyn corporation. But the only problem I can't copy and paste peoples team into the threads. But that is not a problem I'll just find the sprites somewhere else online. Thanks!

This sounds like a pretty interesting program and it looks very useful. I can't wait to see more updates, actually.

..one question though, what about the generation five updates? Will you still be able to update? Or will you create a new program?

@Thorns you have to provide me with a few more details so that I can help you, where exactly it the program not working?

Were you able to download the file from mediafire?
Did you extract the folder "dist" from the "Pokemon Team Generator V0.7.rar" file?
Did the program not load up?
Were you not able to search for a pokemon?

@maplelame If enough people want this feature I will add it, I've already thought about how to do it, i just need initiative.

No, its not okay. You've gotten me focused, so now I feel the need to resolve your problem. And, yes it is like smogon, but this program is offline.

Do you know how to extract .rar files? (I'm sorry to belittle you, it just my IT training requires me to ask) You need to extract the files, the program will not run from your temp folder.

This is amazing!!!!!!!! No more having to reset my stupid router when it decides to take a crap while I'm browsing smogon, and since this is random, it recommends teams I'd never think of.

Well done. Totally featuring this on my blog tomorrow!!! I also started a monthly Pokémon Fight Club at a local gaming shop, so I'll be sure to tell all the members about this thing. Thanks so much for making it!
