pokeapi VS pokesprite

So I was looking for projects and came across https://github.com/PokeAPI/pokeapi

This Christmas break, I had some time on my hands so I decided to write a Github Action that adds a fun pokemon sprite to your repo's README.md. I wrote this action in javascript using node-fetch, octokit/core, and actions/core. The sprite images are fetched from PokeAPI. I had a lot of fun learning more about javascript promises and Github Actions workflows.

It uses PokéAPI to get its data, and is designed with ease of use on mobile in mind. It’s prefix is S and the commands tie into the prefix so autocorrect doesn’t mess you up (Search,Status`, etc). It tries to pull Sw/Sh data as much as possible, but if it can’t find it it’ll fall back to us/um. It’s issue repository is Here, and the link to invite it to your server is in the README. I hope you enjoy it!

1) Google Sheets for the actual spreadsheet 2) https://www.wincalendar.com/ for the template 3) https://github.com/msikma/pokesprite for the sprites

Is this the same sprite project?

Now the only thing missing was the Pokémon image files themselves. I downloaded this collection of sprites from PokéSprites and quickly noticed I had made a breaking assumption: the files were named after the Pokémon rather than their dex number, e.g. bulbasaur.png.

I use google sheets - I got the calendar template from Wincalendar (just google it, they have a bunch of free ones) and I get the sprites from https://github.com/msikma/pokesprite/find/master

I did it manually, just download an excel calendar from Wincalendar and edit in google sheets, then use https://github.com/msikma/pokesprite/ to get the sprites - just copy and paste them into your spreadsheet.

For items you can pretty much use the same formula as above except that you replace pokemon-gen8/shiny with items/ball. You can see all the sprites for yourself at https://github.com/msikma/pokesprite/tree/master/items

This is just a random calendar template off wincalendar.com that I use for work. I take the sprites from https://github.com/msikma/pokesprite, and the PLA ones are just off Serebii.

Check out pokesprite, which is a database of sprites/images, including the recoloured shiny ones: https://github.com/msikma/pokesprite

Isn't this sprite just taken directly from the game? Still, it was a nice finished product!

I found a library called pokesprite-images which contains a json file with all the Pokemon (data/pokemon.json) and sprites of all the Pokemon. Here's the GitHub link for easy viewing of the directory I will discuss below.
