So while making a mock-up pokedex for the hell of it (and because I saw Ace Faith made one, so I thought I'd try and make one too), I made up an imaginary pokedex homebrew that hopefully some amazing homebrew coder with an ardent support for pokemon will bring into reality (of course as a homebrew for the DS/DSi).
Anyways, here is a mock-up of what I was hoping for, although it needs a slight revision because I forgot that there was a maximum of a 5 digit weight instead of a 4 digit one.
Since I only have a mock-up of the top screen of my imaginary pokedex, I'll just explain that and when (if) I make a mock-up of the lower screen, I'll just talk about that in another blog post (since its not like my blog has anything productive anyways).
The number on the upper left is obviously the pokemon number.
The stats on the right are the base stats (each little bar is 10 points).
The "Seed Pokemon" above the stats is the pokemon species.
I'm fairly certain that people know what the "Bulbasaur"/"Poison"/"Grass" are, so no point in explaining those.
(This is where I screwed up my mock-up. I need to move the Poison icon to be next to the Grass icon and then shift the "HT:" and "WT:" to be above their respective numbers in order to fit the digits xD)
HT is the height, WT the weight.
The footprint is obviously the footprint.
And now the lower half of the screen =D (this is the part that I would find more useful). I had the fanciful idea of the L&R buttons changing between the tabs and using the Y button to change the page if there was too much information to fit in one page, and so that is pretty much how I had imagined circumventing the problem of not enough space on the DS screen xD.
The info tab is obviously the information about the pokemon (who doesn't like reading those lol).
Evolution would have been the entire chain (using the smaller sprites of course and multiple pages for pokemon that just have too many evolutions *cough cough* eevee *cough cough*).
Type would have been the super effective and not very effective types.
Stats would have been a table with the maximum, neutral, and minimum stats using natures for all stats.
Ability would have been the ability of the pokemon obviously xD (Pressure, Levitate, Own Tempo etc.).
For my very first mock-up of anything ever, I think it looks pretty awesome...
