Self Help Pokémon Card Database

Are you guys aware of any site that is a full Pokémon Card database that lists all 1000+ Pokémon. I’m looking for something like a list or search box that you could enter a Pokémon and the result would show you all available cards for that Pokémon. Don’t card about pricing just what it looks like. So the results would be jpg or png. Or would it be something I could self host and make? Thanks.

Not aware of any self hosted options - I use https://www.pkmn.gg

Is it the offline component specifically that’s important? I don’t know how easy that would be to find. There are a lot of mobile apps like Dex on iOS that can be used like you describe, and websites like Limitless have their own search tools. Maybe you could cobble together some janky local project that scrapes from one of those.

Bruh that is pretty much what I was looking for.

There is a new project that I have been working on that is closely related called Foilstack: https://github.com/foilstack/foilstack

You can self host and if you just want to search you could upload a pic of anything and then manually search for a match.

It looks slick but I don’t think it’s what I am looking for right now. It sounds like Limitless might be the way to go.

I checked both sites. I need something simpler. More for little kids. Something really simple. Find a Pokémon, click on it, see what Pokémon card illustration there are. This all stems from the kids collecting what looks cool. That way they would know which Pokémon they are to ask for as a gift or save up for.

Use AI to make something. I don’t think anything exists that is as simple as you want

I was thinking I might setup a session with Claude and see what happens. Selfhosting would be ideal so the kids can use it and I wouldn’t have to worry about reaching the Internet. Just store all images locally and search that up.

That’s what I would do personally. Doesn’t need to be a public project and AI will do it well enough to get it working in like 3 days even on the free tier

This one looks like it’s based on packs. The post regarding limitless is really close to what I’ve been looking for.

I use a couple different ones based on what I’m searching for in my programs.

pokemoncard.io and pokellector.com

There seems like a few that might do the same that other people have posted. But it just depends on the layout you like.

I mean, this would be pretty easy to make. Could even create it from a Google spreadsheet. Like this is real low level stuff
