I've noticed in a few articles, there are pictures of the Pokémon under the '''In the anime''' heading. Should there be screenshots of all Pokémon in the anime? I'd be more than happy to help with that if it's needed. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 16:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC) | I've noticed in a few articles, there are pictures of the Pokémon under the '''In the anime''' heading.

Yeah, I'm kinda posting this topic to vent some of my ideas on how to display information. In this one I'll focus on displaying the basic stats. The current system is the values, along with the horizontal bars. I personally thought of replacing it with a slightly more graphic way of displaying it: namely using radar-graphs. I've prepared some samples: [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/Democalyps/Misc/Bulbasaur.png Bulbasaur], [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/Democalyps/Misc/Ivysaur.png Ivysaur], [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/Democalyps/Misc/Venusaur.png Venusaur], [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/Democalyps/Misc/Charizard.png Charizard] and [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/Democalyps/Misc/Weedle.png Weedle] | |||
I personally am willing to create all the needed graphs, it's quite a quick process so I can get them all done on reasonably short term. Next to these would be a small table stating the exact values. The shapes of these, along with the size give a more visual indication of what kind of pokemon it is, status-wise. I've sorted them so, that the top half is defence/health, the bottom is speed and offensive power, left is special and the right is physical. Along with these graphs I suggest adding a bar, similar to those currently displayed on the pages, displaying the total of basic stats (i.e. all values added up); again along with the numeric value. The latter gives a good indication of the overall strength of that specific pokemon. I'm still working on how to properly format that one though; the maximum total can run up to 720 (Arceus); a width or height of 720px is a bit too much. ^^; | |||
As for the base-stats of the Red, Blue and Yellow games (where Sp.Atk and Sp. Def haven't been seperated yet); since it's only 151 extra graphs, I wouldn't mind creating and adding a secondary graph for those pokemon. | |||
As for the format of the images; The ones I made are just proto-types, but I reckoned this size and colour would make a nice, neat and neutral-looking graph. This is, however, open to discussion. =3 | |||
On a final, slightly unrelated note, I personally feel the type advantage thing could just as well be taken away. Since the special/physical deviations of the types have been taken out, the current information is pretty much stating the obvious. A quick glance at a type-chart can give you the exact same information. Clearing them out will remove the in my humble opinion rather annoying page-stretching. | |||
So... Yeah ^^ I'd like to become a part of this Pokedex project and would like to hear how you all feel about this and whether or not you want me to start implementing the graphs. | |||
