Status update as of 4-16-11

• Back to work once more. The data portion of the skills and locations is put in. Now I just need to do the graphical side of it; such as it appearing on the map. With luck, the rest is just a matter of programming simple things and making everything aesthetically appealing. I suppose I should add the 5th generation in as well, lol.

Download:
You'll need winRAR to extract it.

• Download v0.2 (4.32MB RAR, 10.4MB unRAR'd)

Code:

Change log (v0.2):
-Addition of 'Name That Pokemon' and 'Name That Cry'
-A few aesthetic changes
-Fixed a few descriptions
-Removal of redundant files

Known bugs/oddities:
-Some pokemon abilities are listed twice.
-It's possible to get the same name multiple times in the list of answers. This is a problem if the multiples are the pokemon you're guessing.
-Version still reads as '0.1'.
-Slowpoke apparently evolves into Jumpluff instead of Slowking
-Slowking is replaced by Sunkern in the evo u_u

Keys

• Up - Scroll Up
• Down - Scroll Down
• Left - Scroll up by 10
• Right - Scroll Down by 10
• X - Pokemon Cry
• L & R - Cycle through alt. forms.
• Touchscreen/Stylus for pretty much everything else including clicking on a pokemon in the list.

Random Information

• Moves and Loc aren't implemented yet. I definitely want to do it via a map, but it seems like a bit of a shitstorm to be honest.
• There's well over 23,000 individual pieces of information regarding the pokemon. I'd be willing to bet I've screwed up quite a bit Feel free to message me/post regarding this.
• The unown forms can be seen via pressing 'L' or 'R' at their main sprite screen.
• Alternate forms will adjust the stats and such accordingly.
• IVs range from 0-31; EVs range from 0-255; Nature can be negative(-), neutral(o) or positive(+); Level ranges form 1-100. More on this here.
• Mr. Mime and Mime Jr. both need spaces and periods for the minigames. The male and female symbol will put (m) and (f), respectively, onto the end.
• With that being said, I uploaded v0.2, sans the search functionality. Easy mode for the mini-games provides you with 6 names, one being the correct pokemon. Hard mode has you input the name yourself.

A rather large multi-dimensional char array. It was something like 531x41. Certainly not the best way to go about it as it eats a good bit of the ram, but it worked out nonetheless.



//edit

As of summer '10, I switched to 500 or so txt files, and bundle them all in 1 file. Then I just read from it by offsets.

 

Omg! For 5 posts you are one wicked ass person xD. It sounds like Benjifs has a new competitor.

 

great app

Not working on my Acekard though. I use AKAIO 1.6RC2. I even DLDI patched it and it didn't work.

 

oh ok. I was trying the one with cries that's why.

 

HAHA, I was JUST wondering if there was one of these not two days ago. Though my main want for one is so I can look up moves and HMs and get a list of pokemon that can learn them when I don't have bulbapedia available.

Also a weakness chart maybe?

 

Wow, this looks absolutely stunning. I can't believe you made something like this!
Cheers!

 

I downloaded that right away!
I'm looking forward to the full version.

 

All moves, location, and I believe weaknesses and such can be found on Serebii. Only problem really would be going through and getting the data for each.. would take forever.

 

brilliant!

since my DS is a crimson version, maybe i could scare my younger bro saying it is a pokedex v2.0, just like the anime one.

maybe it can be useful someday...
