Markdown Pokédex

The Pokédex (Pokémon Encyclopedia) is an electronic device designed to catalog and provide information regarding the various species of Pokémon. The name Pokédex is a portmanteau of Pokémon and index. In the video games, whenever a Pokémon is first caught, its height, weight, species type, and a short description will be added to a player's Pokédex. Each region has its own Pokédex, which differ in appearance, species of Pokémon catalogued, and functions. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which takes place long before any other Pokémon games, players are tasked with assembling the first ever Pokédex.

The National Pokédex allows Pokémon from all regions to be catalogued.

This repository contains a Pokémon Pokédex in markdown format. It was generated from Veekun's Pokédex by converting the CSV format Pokédex to Markdown using a script I wrote for Asciiville.

Usage

This repository is organized as an Obsidian vault containing the Pokédex in markdown format. It can be viewed using any markdown viewer but if Obsidian is used then many additional features will be available including queries using the Dataview plugin for Obsidian.

For the optimal experience, open this vault in Obsidian!

Download the vault
Open the vault in Obsidian via "Open another vault -> Open folder as vault"
Trust us. :)
When Obsidian opens the settings, verify the "Dataview", "Excalidraw", and "Excalibrain" plugins are enabled
Done! The Markdown Pokédex vault is now available to you in its purest and most useful form!
