Purpose
The world of Pokémon is gigantic. With a massive community, all sorts of spin-off games, movies, animes, creepypastas and so much more, there is huge amount of information present on the internet.
As wonderful as that is, it makes finding even basic information like "at what level does this Pokémon evolve" hard to answer sometimes. This is where the Pokécompanion comes in.
This website, and the way it displays content, has been focussed around the mainline Pokémon games from Generations 1 through 9. Selecting a specific game from the "Options" menu will narrow information down to just that specific game as good as possible.
The idea is, that when you're sat down and need a specific bit of information, you should be able to find it here quickly with minimal effort and scrolling required.
And finally, I grew up playing Pokémon games in German before emigrating to the UK and now playing them in English. So I wanted to add the ability to search in multiple languages. In the near future, languages other than English and German will be supported too.
Data quality
This website uses the PokéAPI which is maintained by the community and is not affiliated with Nintendo. It is free for anyone to use, but offers no guarantees about the accuracy of its data.
As mentioned in the section above, there is a lot of data in the Pokémon world, even when narrowed down to the main-series games. If you spot any issues, please raise an issue on the PokéAPIs GitHub page, and if you have the time maybe even tackle it yourself!
That being said, the following issues are known to have filtered through to this website:
- Region specific evolutions aren't dealt with properly. See #52 Meowth or #194 Wooper for example. Github Issue
- Form abilities aren't linked correctly See Parental Bond with #115 Mega Kangaskhan for example.
- Evolutions that are location specific and vary from game to game, multiple entries will always be displayed. See Eeveelutions for example.
