Looking for HG/SS? Have an unnatural hatred for brown? Enjoy cool new things? You probably want the beta Pokédex.

Greetings. I am Eevee, and this is my.. experiment. It is not so much a web site as a testing ground for whatever I happen to be doing at the moment. For quite a while, that has been the construction of an epic Pokédex, but on the off chance it is ever finished to my satisfaction, I have plenty more ideas for applications to write. In other words, this is not nor was it ever intended to be yet another Pokémon site.

You are welcome to create a community here (when the forum happens to be working), but I make no effort whatsoever to censor anything or adhere to any sort of "rating". I also have a bit of a problem with people who cannot get enough of their own inane babble and people who cannot string two words together coherently to save their lives. I suggest you keep that in mind if you wish to "contribute". Beyond that, I think nitpick rules are the fastest way to create a religion, so I try to avoid it at all costs.

If you wish to actually contribute -- i.e., look at and amend the code -- drop me a line and we'll see what we can do. Veekun is written in Perl and running atop Catalyst on FastCGI. PHP sucks. Hard.

I am also distributing my raw Pokédex data, as I think it's ridiculous to claim ownership of data someone else invented that I collected. If you would like it, you can get a MySQL-compatible dump from my code repository. Fair warning: the schema has no real documentation at the moment and is subject to change without notice.

I am wide open to suggestions, comments, criticisms, improvements, and free money.

More playing with HG/SS
Screwing around with porigon-z and finding stuff in the process.

Items:
montage
tarball
Most of them are the same, but there are some new ones at the end. The PokéRadar was the last D/P/Pt item, and everything after it is new.
A handful of palettes for earlier items didn't match up in any intuitive way, but the new items seem fine.


Trainers from behind:
frame 1
frame 2
tarball

Overworld trainers et al:
awkward montage
No tarball yet, because some of them are oversized and won't come out right. Looking into it. May or may not abandon sprite ripping for the night here.


Will edit if I find anything else of interest.

HG/SS sprites
:3

montage
tarball

Form(e)s are not included. Also, I suspect the back sprites are identical to Platinum's, and there are probably a lot of duplicated female sprites left. I'll work on cleaning this up, getting formes, and ripping everything else (moves, text, locations, gizamimi stats, etc) this afternoon.

Beta Pokédex has the new sprites, both as the main portrait and on flavor pages. They're also in the pokedex repository. Remember: current veekun will not be updated for HG/SS. Ever!

Oh hey have some trainers too. Possible spoilers?

My heart (gold l-o-l) goes out to Zhen Lin, Pika, and loadingNOW, without whom I would still be floundering cluelessly.

Do with these as you want. Credit or not; up to you.


edit: Alright well Arty2 is an awesome jerk and beat me to getting the new moves. I guess when I say "rip the moves" I really mean "take the moves from someone else" now.


edit3: Final tarball: http://stuff.veekun.com/hgss.tar.gz

Restores some accidentally-deleted shiny back frame2s and.. such. I also deleted blank and duplicated females sprites, so this is down to some 5 MB. Includes forms, which are pretty much the same as Pt, but Gizamimi Pichu's in there.

I'm more weirded out about us getting the first dub screening of the 12th movie :/ Would have been nice to get the event card, instead of just straight up reception. Ah well, can't argue with a few level 100 Arceus'

Congratulations Aussie!

YES! I'm getting an Arceus!!!!!!!!!
well, probably 4 or 5 with all the diamond, pearl and platinum cartridges lying around my friends have given me haha.

Does the PokeWalker give you a higher chance to find Shiny pokemon?
11/01/09 16:53 RudolphMilotic
The Poké Radar isn't in HGSS; a similar working item is in the PokéWalker, though.

I'm getting whichever has Latias in the wild after doing whatever it makes her appear, regardless of which other Pokémon may or may not be on that version.
11/01/09 10:19 Broken_luck
I can chain them, though. Assuming that the PokeRadar makes a return.
11/01/09 03:52 scharfamence
hahah, I'm the complete opposite. Getting SoulSilver for Lugia :) You can always trade Mawile and Vulpix to gold?
10/31/09 17:48 mfolnovich
Broken_luck: I would get SoulSilver if I wanted Vulpix and Mawile, since I'm not using legendaries in online battles :)
