Pokétypes, hey!

I've made a somewhat nicer tool for checking attack effectivity while you play. Pokétypes is better now! I've fixed all of the bugs you helped me find.

I'd love your opinions on it!

Just realized that you can change the color of the background, that's cool.

>not using the beautiful gray as default

Hey this looks very nice. The only thing that could go wrong would be some mistake in the type effectiveness but everything seems to be in order.

Was so happy when it more or less screen-wrapped with my phone. Then...

Mobile version when

Yeah, it's not very mobile-friendly at the moment... sorry about that. It's on my to-do list, though, if people actually start using the desktop version of Pokétypes.

wanted to add that maybe you could add an option to enable double type for offense, since there's flying press

Oh, right, that's actually something I've been wanting to ask. Right now the default theme / flavor is the "pastel dot" one - mostly because it's the first one I created and I like the colors.

Out of the other available themes, should another one be default? It's really more of a case of what everyone wants than anything else.

Looks good. Will be useful for me when I play against type combinations I have no idea about.

A basic default that is more greyish than anything else might be nice accompanied with plenty other optional backgrounds. Something simple anyway. Also something nice that is unrelated would be a listing of what types are effective or inneffective against a specific type or type combination. I always look that up more than anything else.

This warms my heart. Exactly the type of situations I created the site for.

>>18912976
That's one for gray, folks. Oh, and the list thing is quite unrelated - while probably useful, it would definitely not fit in the tool itself as it looks right now. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Maybe just a little sub-site...?

very pretty!
how about the ability to specify a pokemon instead of the defending type(s)? maybe a typeahead input box?

Actually an amazingly good idea! That would, however, require an addition of a database of all Pokémon - which would take some time. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered it, perhaps I'll add it in a later update. I'll be posting it here then, for sure!

you could just have a script pull all the types from veekun's pokedex (https://github.com/veekun/pokedex) and parse them into whatever format typeahead.js needs
menu sprites would also be pretty

Oh man, I'm drooling just thinking about those menu sprites. Thanks for the GH link, that could definitely be a good resource. Don't have any experience with typeahead boxes as of yet, but I can't imagine it'd be too hard.

Okay, after looking through Veekun's Pokédex repository, it seems I might have to make my own for this purpose, or find another. Now for where to put the typeahead menu, if I am adding one... right above the defending types box, perhaps? In the padding?

veekun's database is all csv, what I suggest is having a Python/something script that reads through all the pokemon and get their types, then export it to an javascript array of dicts that you can use with typeahead

and yeah, I was thinking above the offense box, or maybe a toggle to switch between types/pokemon search

Yeah, converting the CSVs to arrays / objects should probably not be too much of a problem. Definitely easier than typing everything out by hand. I seem to remember the Android app Dexter having an open-source database, too, which I'll also check.

Oh, and the way I'd handle the "mode switch" would be pretty seamless - selecting a Pokémon would fill in the proper types, and continuing to interact with the type buttons would empty the typeahead box.

Hey, I'm glad you think so! Adds a good bit of the color and character to an otherwise straight-to-the-point tool.

>>18913647
It's not easy to remember all of the type relations just off the top of your head, especially the more obscure ones. This is useful for learning or checking while you play, at least for me and from what I've heard for others, too.
