Also, while I’m here, I would like to shout out a project I’ve been supporting on Patreon for a while. It’s a new Pokémon wiki / encyclopedia called Pokéos.
They are a Pokémon wiki that attempts to cover as many parts of the franchise as possible, from the games to the TCG to the anime.
However, what makes the difference in my eyes is their additional features.
All of the information you might want to find on a Pokémon’s profile is easily accessible and shown in a clear way, which is something I struggled with on other websites. But ALSO, my favorite thing mostly is, all of the additional contents. At the bottom of the page, you can see a lot of the art done for that pokémon, along with all of the forms it has ever had, including anime-exclusive forms, or the Stadium 2 color palettes! All done in the style of the render for Pokémon Home! It also includes all the beta content found for that Pokémon like sprites!
Check out Charizard for example! The early generation Pokémon are a great showcase of this!
Another really great feature of the website is the Forgottendex, which showcases all the Pokémon oddities, in the style of the Home renders! This includes stuff like that mongoose from the first season of the anime, the ghost of the Lavender Town tower, that weird squid thing from the manga, and more!
There is also a great feature for artists that allows you to host your very own fan-made Pokédex with your own Fakémon!
And that’s not even including all of the tools like the Dex tracker, the Shiny counter, the Team builder, the list of serial codes and events running right now, and everything else coming soon!
The only downside I’d mention is the loading times. The website seems to rely a lot on fetching things from an API, which can make loading take longer. Also, some of the CSS effects can take a toll on older devices, so i’s recommend turning off the visual effects in the footer.
I’m not being paid to share all of this, i’m just very satisfied with this website after supporting it for a while now, and I feel like a lot of people would really enjoy it! Especially those of us who, like me, LOVE the obscure stuff of the franchise (i’m obsessed with the Stadium 2 color palettes and weird little oddities haha!)
If you use it, please tell me your thoughts! :D
