    What information would you want to see in a Pokedex?


    I'm planning on making one... but I'm not sure what all needs to be in there. =/
     
    What do you need? Stats, game Pok?dex entries, male-female ratios, breeding info, TM and HM compatibility... all that kind of stuff. Plus pics, and I like to write out a bio for each Pok?mon too. Which is why it takes me ages to construct anything for TPP...
     
    JK, I finished my Ditto ^_^
    *link removed*
    There will also be drop-down menus at the top for Pokemon selection. Did I forget anything?
    How's your's coming along?

    BTW, this is a combined effort of PokeVillage and The WC Connection. JK and I are both coming up with layouts and then we'll see which one we like better. Just wanted to clear up why I'm posting a Pokedex entry when it seems I have nothing to do with the topic :P .
     
    I suck at layouts. v.v;;

    Yours looks good, though I'd like to add the sprites to it. :D

    If you'd like, I'll take yours and then make a script out of it.... because well... mine flopped. v.v *points to Recycle Bin full of deleted "index.php"s*
     
    What's wrong with the sprites? :P

    Anyway, remind me what a script would do? (I know HTML, but I'm totally clueless when it comes to PHP) XD
     
    I mean put in the sprites from all the games. ^^


    And what I want to do is do the Dex in variables... so for each character we'd only need to fill out something like this:

    PHP: 
    <?php
$number = "287";
$nameeng = "Ditto";
$nameger = "Ditto";
$namejap = "Metamon";[/php

ETC.  Makes making the pages really easy, and it's less space.[/color]
     
    DO IT! PLEASE!
    *gets down on knees and begs*
    *bribes JK with cookie* XD

    It took me about 3 hours to do that thing...

    And I was thinking we might just do R/S/E/C/FR/LG, since the other games are kinda outdated and un-necessary; it would a lot of time and space. But it's up to you.
     
    I guess we could do one issue for the new games, and one for the old. O.o;

    New comes first though. :P


    I'll do the code now... and have it up in an hour or so...
     
    Yeah, that's how Serebii does it. It would probably work better that way.

    *sees Joe coming with a lawsuit notice for using his idea*
    *runs*

    Actually, I think just about every Pokedex is like that now. O.o

    EDIT: Should we do it in stages, like do a certain number of Pokemon and put them up? Or should we just wait until we have the thing finished before releasing it?
     
    Hmm, base stats is something Serebii's lacked for some time. Which Pok?mon give which and how many EVs is nice, encounter data and all the flavor text. I assume you intended to have this stuff, but I just thought I'd chime in. ^_^;
     
    Or maybe it could be something along the line of: *pokemonpalace link removed* well, similar, can't be letting u all steal all my cool my dex stuff.. :P
     
    umm...yeah, Steve, but some people around here aren't blessed with your web design skills. I'd kill to have a Dex like that.
    *sees Steve*
    *gets an evil glare in his eye*
    PPNSteve: O.o *runs*
    XD

    And Kairi, we've got all that stuff. Look at the preview.
     
    Mmm, got it done.

    I just gotta upload it... ~_~


    Steve: XD
     
    OK, great! Which brings me to my next question:

    Which one of us is hosting this thing? o.o
     
    I will. :D

    https://dex.pokevillage.net/dex.php?id=287

    The coding is the same as how you did it... and all the information is saved in TXT files.

    The only thing I really changed... was the sprites. XD It's
    /$hnumber/rs-n.png
    /$hnumber/rs-s.png
    /$hnumber/frlg-n.png
    /$hnumber/frlg-s.png

    That way it'll be the same for all the Pokemon. $hnumber is the Hoenn Numbering system.

    If you like how it's done, I'll set up an FTP account and we can get this going. ^_^
     
    Wee~ Here's the 287.txt
    PHP:

    Not that hard to understand, ne?

    The only thing to remember is that Quotation Marks " need to be either turned into single quotes ' or have a backwards slash \ put in front of them. ^^;


    *goes to make FTP account and PM details*
     
    What about if we have another TR or TD to put in? I tried making one for Wobbuffet, but I need to make Ruby and Sapphire Flavor Text separate and FR/LG Flavor Text together.
     
    For some of them, Ruby/Sapphire have different Flavour Text? X.x;;

    Didn't know that...
     
    sure!! one tastes red, the other blue.. come on now.. u shoulda known that!
