Random Pokemon Generator v2.1
Apr 18 2021
Look at that! A new update for the Random Pokemon Generator! And it took less than 3 years. As before, a quick overview for new people stumbling onto this:
Random Pokemon Generator
Push button > get a bunch of randomly generated Pokemon. Many of these exist on the internet, but mine has a ton of filters and you can generate as many Pokemon as you want!
Updates:
- New filters!
- Evolution filter – choose between All, Fully Evolved/Cannot Evolve Pokemon, or Not Fully Evolved Pokemon. This has been added to the Basic Filters tab.
- Base Stats, Battle filters – numeric filters for base stats primarily used in battle: Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed.
- Base Stats, Other filters – numeric filters for other base stats: Catch Rate, Egg Cycle, and Friendship.
- Height/Weight filters – numeric filters for height (in meters) and weight (in kg).
- Mobile improvements – these improvements apply to tablet and desktop users as well, but were driven by designing a better mobile experience.
- Help tooltips – Replacing the “ABBR” HTML tags with actual tooltips because a) as the name implies, ABBR tags were intended for abbreviations and b) they didn’t appear to work on mobile. The new tooltips are icons that toggle the display of helpful tips or take you to the help section (depending on the tip length).
- Filter section can be collapsed – if you click on the selected tab (e.g. the Basic Filters/All Filters tab) it will show/hide all the filters. I’ll make a more obvious toggle in the future, I wanted to at least have the option available now.
- Basic Filters can now be collapsed – don’t know why I didn’t allow this originally tbh.
- Other updates
- Data fixes – I forgot to log my exact changes, but I fixed data for a few alternate forms including generation (Gigantamax Melmetal was mislabeled as Gen 7) and egg groups (Cosplay Pikachu, Cap Pikachu, and Ash-Greninja should all be Undiscovered).
- Consolidated Forms filters – instead of two selections for Yes/No Forms and Yes/No Cosmetic Forms, it’s now: Show all, Remove cosmetic forms, and Just the base/default form. Same behavior, just a lot cleaner.
- Renamed FAQ to Help – it’s more accurate.
- Added Filter Behavior to Help – just to explain more clearly how the filters calculate the Pokemon returned.
- Added Help explanation to Help – added explanations on the help icons, a contact link, and…
- Help sections are collapsible – questions are collapsed by default, click one to open it up.
- Renamed Genderless to Gender Unknown (Gender Ratio filter) – because I recently learned Gender Unknown is the official terminology.
- General optimizations – Sparing you the techno mumbo jumbo: it should run ever so slightly faster.
As always, thanks for reading this far! Here’s a nice link to the generator.
