veekun / veekun-pokedex Goto Github PK

Need to show the average effort/experience a "place" gives. Tricky bit: it depends on current conditions. Figure that out. Maybe we finally want an "advanced" view that actually shows slots or something.

Also we need a list (per region/version?) of the best places to get effort/exp .

Like #3: should combine the fancy search with a useful browser.

Needs #2.

What we have now is alright, but could use a bit of sprucing up.

Also, needs better use of metadata.

It's inconsistent, it's missing the older versions of artwork, it's missing alternate art when it exists, it's still missing some gen 5 legendaries. Fix please.

Broken up by region.

I would like cool maps, but would accept a first crack that's just a list and a followup issue to get cool maps going.

Real examples just given to me:

• flinch should get a list of flinching moves (or prose on flinching, but in the interim...)
• red should get a list of red-colored Pokémon

Internal for searches and external JSON interface.

Current one is pretty solid, but it lacks hidden abilities.

Basically the same thing, though inverted.

The current site has a decent approximation of this, but I fear it's nigh unreadable. Simplify simplify simplify.

yep

I started on this before, but didn't finish it—it was a cute JS trivia quiz.

• List of all Pokémon terms we can think of, with links (eventually...) to mechanics articles
• Mechanics links should have little tooltips containing these definitions

Sorely missed.

Fling's page should give some kind of summary of all the possible fling effects and what items give which.

Natural Gift is similar. Any others?

eh

Can probably just rip off what's in spline-pokedex.

It would be nice if pokedex didn't spew the useless message it does when the markdown support is lacking.

Mostly-done but needs a few style touches.

Yap.

Maybe also have a little ajax inline version for Pokémon pages, near the capture rate.

I think this is going to be really really really important, because we suck at writing prose but it's a pain for any non-programmers to contribute to our prose.

Stuff that needs to be editable:

• Effect prose
• Walkthrough content on place pages
• Full-page articles (mechanics!)
• Competitive commentary on Pokémon, moves, abilities, if we ever do that sort of thing

Requirements:

• Only a fixed small number of people; not a wiki
• Only accessible via the beta
• Changes viewable live (otherwise what's the point)
• Some kind of log so we can see who changed what and approve it and get it pushed back to the repo

We already show, for example, the max PP with PP Up or the reduced hatch time with Flame Body.

Some more interesting examples:

• Multi-hit moves effectively affect their power. Skill Link alters it further.
• Adaptability
• Sketch
• Type pages should list what moves, items, abilities, and mechanics have special behavior for the type

Deploying should be easier than turnkey, by which I mean it should probably happen automatically from a push to the right branch, and ping #veekun when finished.

Would be nice for, e.g., the Pokéballs in the performance gadget, the items listed for Pickup, stuff mentioned inline in prose, and so on.

It probably makes sense to keep them on the same page, but not in the same table. Add a thing to the ability table to delimit where they came from.

If we keep adding side-game stuff and blending it with existing tables, we might need a new universe table containing main-games, conquest, pmde, etc? Or we could bail and have separate tables for each spinoff series. Orrrrrr

Straight port, really.

List of particulars incoming.

Should have both the list and little tile views.

Also, better category arrangement. Maybe don't split up into multiple pages any more.

I'm sure we've all seen this: http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~msandbot/pokemon/blackwhite.html

But it seems to be a bit dumb, asking for O(n) comparisons. In the best case we could cut this down to O(log n), though that requires figuring out a way to deal with inconsistent rankings.

Existing page has type efficacy for every combination, a "score" for offense and defense, and the ability to add a second type for dual-typing. Also, column highlighting on hover.

Current one isn't bad, but is a little clunky UI-wise.

Needs more linkage from e.g. Pokémon pages.

Less-sorely missed but would be nice.

This would make us hecka faster and cut down on bandwidth. It would have a cost, but I doubt it would be too much. Hell, it would be cool to have a freely hotlinkable repository of Pokémon sprites.

Amazon, I assume. Will they have copyright objections to this?

Err... your README file should be named "README.md". Otherwise the Markdown source code displays on the repository homepage instead of the formatted text (as is the case now).

Should combine the old fancy-search with a cool and simple browse interface.

Needs #2.

Needs doing as early as possible, which means it needs figuring out as early as possible.

Waste less space than before.

• Show differences between shiny/normal and male/female in a more useful manner.
• Maybe do something clever client-side with the palettes, like try to make use of the shiny colors to generate shiny Sugimori images.
• Remember that some people (Mel...) want to be able to see everything at once without fucking around with buttons and whatever.

Some things this could use:

• rewritten (finished...) prose
• where to get them
• whether they can be bought

I think it's time to split this out. Show the most recent X versions' moves on the main page, and put historical data on its own page.

This also provides some opportunity to do some sort of neat things to the list of moves: show contest data, show more metadata, something something.

Really only needs a list, perhaps split up by generation.

But perhaps more useful would be to group them by effect or something.

Doesn't exist at all yet! Whoops.

Some differences I'd like to see:

• The special prefix stuff is a mess. Clean it up if possible. It definitely doesn't need to be exposed to the user in the lookup box.
• Since we (theoretically) will know the user's primary language, we should default to that in the case of cross-language ambiguity.
• Lookup should trigger for 404s under main-page namespaces.

Snag Zhorken's current-site work.

Longer-term thing; unclear what the scope is yet.

Some stats I am aware exist:

• PMD locations/encounters
• PMD IQ groups
• PMD move metadata
• PMD movelists
• PMD stat ups

(If we're gonna do this, it would be cool to have in time for PMD3.)

Lots of abilities are clearly related, but given one it's difficult to find the others, because the game order is arbitrary and name order has no semantics either.

Would be sweet to break abilities into categories the same way items are.

e.g.:

• Insomnia, Immunity, Own Tempo, Inner Focus...
• Storm Drain, Lightningrod
• Guts, Marvel Scale, Quick Feet...

Also it would be great if ability pages listed other abilities in the same category, for ease of finding similar abilities (and abilities with exactly the same effect but different flavor).

So:

[ ] add categories to pokedex
[ ] allow sorting ability list by category (optional, or always? is purely by name all that useful?)
[ ] show categories on ability pages
