Gah! Psypoke's dex is an eyesore. I see that Marriland's the best overral, but it doesn't have the anti-right click feature that Serebii has. It prevents people from steal off your site- well, the stupid tieves who don't know how to steal HTML.

I don't know, they both really good...

 

[Incinermyn]

Psypoke's is good. Serebii's I can bearly read the text of. The rest of the Serebii site and the forums are horrible too.

@Serebii, there is no reasoning for black background websites. Will avoid them if necessary.

Offline Pokemon UK or Bulbapedia.

Offline version is great, shame it excludes Diamond/Pearl versions.

@Me2UJus4Free
paste javascript:alert(["destroying prot",document.oncontextmenu=null,document.body.oncontextmenu=null]);
into the address bar and disable the simpler 'copy protection scripts'. Although don't copy the space inbetween the on and context... Alternatively, use a browser where you can disable it in the options like Firefox.

Psypoke's is good.

Psypoke doesn't have base stats. That hardly counts as good. The layout is god awful. White text box on dark background? Who does that anymore? I haven't seen such a thing since 1996 on angelfire.

None of the above, in my opinion. All of them pale in comparison to the awesomeness that is Veekun.com (although Veekun occasionally has its downtimes).

Serebii has bells and whistles (i.e. anti-right click), sure, but it just doesn't have the neatness or the reliability of other sites. I know in the past that its 'dex has had errors and that the site overall has had poor or stolen information, so I generally don't trust it, even now that it's supposedly "cleaned up its act."

 

[Improfane]

Marriland it is!

I'm going to vote for Marriland out of the ones displayed otherwise this poll will fall apart since everybody is suggesting different ones they prefer.

For example, compare:

*link removed*
^ friendly URL
^ COMPREHENSIVE data, the first Pokedex I've seen with size comparisons
^ search at the top of all pages!
v slow page load

https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/004.shtml
^ easy to change URL if you know number and don't know spelling
^ still a lot of information
^ shinies
v ugly

https://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/004/general
^ good main dex page
v uses separated page for Pokemon, too slow!
v bad URL

Your point is...?

One peeve I have is lag time during scrolling. It's just painful. I generally avoid those sites. And there really isn't much special about that site. It's search engine is just plain useless. Who needs that many opinion to look for a Pokemon, I would never know. It doesn't use a prcentage for the encounter rate- it uses a freakin' bar graph.

 

[Extric]

Serebii is my favorite Pokemon Dex because it provides all the information. The only problem I have is the layout.

 

[Improfane]

Your point is...?

You really shouldn't have to 'steal HTML' to use your context menu.

I use context menu for more things than saving pictures or other petty theft. Believe it or not, I use it to copy URLs (from frames too), to search, use dictionary and go BACK one page. It has nothing to do with theft to me.

 

[JX Valentine]

And there really isn't much special about that site. It's search engine is just plain useless.

Who said you had to use the search engine?

And even then, you can easily replace the URL of one of the 'dex pages with the name or the number of the Pokemon you want. You can therefore easily bypass the search engine altogether.

It doesn't use a prcentage for the encounter rate- it uses a freakin' bar graph.

Actually, if you hover over the bar graph, a little box pops up that gives you a percentage. For example, I'm looking at Pikachu's right now, and by hovering my cursor over one of the numbers, a white box pops up to tell me that there's a 10% chance that it can be found in Pokemon Mansion.

The site also has breeding searches, searches by type, neat TM/HM listings, and pretty much everything else I want to find for every Pokemon. One just needs to learn how to use it.

 

[Waffle-San]

Serebii, I find it easiest to use and it has everything I'm ever looking for.for a dark background its actually pretty easy to read and it has alot of other valuable info.

The forums arn't anything special though.............

 

[Smarties-chan]

I personally like Psypokes. It just seems more organized and easier to navigate than Serebii's, not to mention Serebii sometimes takes ages to load. I haven't really tried Marriland's dex because I'm familiar with Psypokes and they have all information I need anyway.

Psypoke doesn't have base stats. That hardly counts as good. The layout is god awful. White text box on dark background? Who does that anymore? I haven't seen such a thing since 1996 on angelfire.

What are those if not base stats? =\

 

[~Rene~]

I think Serebii.net has the best Pokedex.

~Rene~ :t025:

 

[BusterHarvey]

yeah, i go there for everything

 

[Espeon Master]

I use Marriland. Serebii is too hard to search through if you don't know the number and I like the way Marilland is set up compared to Psypoke

 

[Improfane]

What are those if not base stats? =\

We're making a case for each site themselves. While it has the information. Is it the best Pokedex?

I don't notice that menu on the left. I'd rather wait for a single page to load than say, four - for each piece of information. I don't want to keep clicking.

 

[XEL]

in my opinion, psypokes, the reason is on marriland its not all that good, on serebii the site loads slowly psypokes loads the fastest and the pokedex is very well detailed

 

[Shiver]

Out of the three stated above, I like to use Serebii's the most. Serebii's Pokedex has all the information I need, although it is quite hard to find a certain pokemon.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

It's somewhat of a tie between Serebii's and Psypoke's Pokedexes.
They're both pretty good, but Psypoke's has lots of sprites of the Pokemon.
