There it goes, just opened: http://www.uepc.eu/viewforum.php?f=508 Since no one seems to disagree, we can move it all there, for now at least.

Thank you. For a couple of weeks after I posted that, I was wondering if perhaps for some reason it only made sense in my head, presuming I was the illogical or whether the whole idea was absurd. Then again English isn't my mother tongue, thus I may have had some trouble communicating it.

I think eric covered it perfectly. And that exactly how standards in every other field work. Take web standards for example, just because the major player doesn't conform to them doesn't mean they don't work. Most importantly, we just have to look into the future, and how this will help...

Oh this one would be divine. Dreamy perhaps, but doable. After all the data is pretty much the same, the various Pokedex implementations differ in the arrangement and presentation of the information. Don't get me wrong, that's as important as the information itself, but who wouldn't love such a...

Well of course :nerd: Sorry for that, just busy with uni lately. This proves that IRC may be a little problematic. Well, we can start with a forum where we can keep things written down and move to direct chat if convenient. Consider it done if others agree, but I'm fine with any place...

Websites can also exchange information themselves, they just don't know it yet. As I noted earlier, data standards is one thing to get started with. Naming conventions may as well follow. I'm also okay with any forum, be it neutral or not, although IRC does sound tempting; having a live...

2. Second that. I fear however that it is already embedded deep in the collective consciousness. 1. Agreed, in my defense I chose it as an example because it is simplistic enough as to grasp the idea. 1.a. Yes, exactly. 1.b. Yes again, however writing and distributing a bbcode plugin...

We gather the people willing to implement them at first, make a working group, discuss it and agree on something. That should be tedious and may cause quarrels, but there's no other way I'm afraid; it's how it works. And yes, even such naming conventions could and should be standardized.

I think this post from BMG would help clarify some things. I didn't really expect any excitement for initiative but apparently most of the fans don't seem to be able to comprehend the picture. It will need time, patience and capable people to form a proper working group. Hence why I'm glad...

Thanks chaos, I'd be really interested on your thoughts on this. @Venser: Say a minute for each Pokemon, but who has just one Pokemon to manage anyway? What one actually saves, is their freedom of data. Say one emulator ceases and another one emerges, why input your teams manually? Why not...

An output format is simply an example. I'm talking about standardizing Pokemon-related information, be it input, output, exchange. For example, calculate something in Metalkid's tools, copy&paste it in shoddy, then copy&paste it in the Team Builder, then copy&paste it in your trade thread...

Greetings fellow Pokémon fans, The Pokémon fandom is truly remarkable: loyal, evergreen, creative and vast. However, while the sheer size of the fandom has certainly positive effects on the quality of the information produced, it also results into cluttered, cut-off bits. As common sense...

You could alternatively download the source for the database here: http://www.legendarypokemon.net/downloads I can't remember if HGSS data is there (probably not) but drop me a mail and I'll update the download if so.
