I have always needed to ask ShinE to find if a possible PF move can be used on a pokemon, or if I can use a move on a PF pokemon. It can be really dreadful. I found this kind of way to find which moves can go to which pokemon. If the PF can have permission to modify it a bit, then we can search for moves alot easier without a need to ask. Heres a link.

I forgot. Maybe modifying this could help find pokemon locations easier. Take a look.

EDIT: Maybe you can get an idea from this earch engine as well

It would be nice to have a better way to search for moves and locations, but most importantly pokemon. Even though I'm staff I haven't taken the time to memorize all the PF pokemon numbers so I have to guess, going to each page one at a time until I find the pokemon I am looking for. I went so far as to create a document in Word with all the pokemon with their numbers so that I can easily find them.

Maybe we should make the Ref pages for the GSC and RSE Archives public... You should use them to search for our pokémon, Squirrelay ^-^

I made my Word document before I became staff, but it was nice to know that there was a reference page. I vote to make it public or better yet incorporate a search engine for the pokemon into the site. The former would be easier to implement, but the latter is more convient for the members.

I'm so happy this is taken so seriously

Anyway, I was hoping for a search engine as well of every kind.

There is also the Type Lookup page that was never implemented properly, which I've always felt could be useful. I haven't quite been able to memorize all of the PF pokémon's numbers but I have been successful in remembering their names to some degree. I also made a picture a while ago and have been updating it as the pokémon are added. Maybe this would be helpful to the public? I've left out gag pokémon and special editions that I thought would not be entered into the PF League.

Cool! Hey, do you think Thornyvern should evovle from Orthyvern instead of Tillache? Thornyvern just looks like a longer Orthyvern with more "prickles".

But if you look at the information, you'll notice that despite the appearances Harvechrn is actually shorter and lighter than Orthyvrn.

I love that image, Alpaquick!

I've been working on the Type Lookup Engine and completed one of the twenty types. It is something that takes up quite some time, though. I'll be sure to give that project a new impulse, now that I'm reminded of it.

How should we incorporate the Ref pages, though? Any ideas? Implementing an all new search function might be too much work, especially if we have the Type Lookup engine (once it's completed).

Also, Flarsable, Orthyvrn is meant to be a threat to farmer's lands since it devours crops, while Harvechrn actually helps farmers by rotating their soil. They both really need to evolve from Tillache due to this fact.

ShinE is right. If anything, there should be a Pre-evolution of Tillache.

Though that would ruin the concept behind them: giant worms. Tillache's appearance is pretty much your every day worm, but a giant version of it.

I guess. But I just can't stand pokemon having a base form that is that massive. I personally think the pokemon that have a base form at least 5 feet or higher should have a pre-evo. But this is getting off topic.

I agree with you that such pokémon should have pre-evos, but sometimes (Tillache, Onix, Piedreate) the concept behind them requires them be enormous. Whenever that is not the case, pre-evos are needed in my opinion too.

I also agree that we're getting off topic :P

For the record, I totally disagree about the size issue. A pokémon being large, in my opinion, is absolutely no excuse to give it a pre-evo.

To get back in topic, I think that a simple list/table specifying pokémon, number, and perhaps typing, should suffice for now.

All righty. For that purpose, the Ref Lists will do perfectly. Once the Type Lookup Engine has been completed, that will be an additional way to search for pokémon.

I will try and think of a nice location for those lists ASAP.

Maybe I can help. But just maybe.
Ooohhh... It's Harvechrn. I was thinking on Sov's Thornyvern.
If Orthyvern's so big its sprite doesn't make it look so. It makes Harvechrn look way bigger.

That's because it's still in the GSC sprite. I bet it'll change once it is picked for sprite "regeneration" as I'd like to call it.

I don't think the type look up is working because i tried to find Ground types and it wouldn't go to the next page. :/

We've disabled any function of the Type Lookup Engine until it is completed ^-^
