◆ Transparency
Use of AI
In the spirit of transparency required by my school project guidelines:
Code assistance: I don't like PHP and I won't like it in the futur so that's why Claude (Anthropic) handle most of the PHP. It also helped me understand why some info of the database wheren't detected (wrong order, wrong name etc...).
Texts: The page texts (descriptions, labels) are written by the author. No AI was used to generate Pokémon descriptions — these come from the original game data.
Images: No AI-generated images are used. All sprites are from open-source repositories credited below.

◆ Open Source
Sprite Credits
The sprites and icons used throughout PanthéonDex come from the following open-source
repositories, the same ones used by the glorious Smogon and Pokémon Showdown websites.
Huge thanks to their maintainers and to the pixel artists who recreate sprites for new Pokémon.
◆ Who am I
About the creator
PanthéonDex was built as a final-year project, submitted on 29/05/2026.
It is developed in PHP with a MySQL database, styled in CSS and powered by vanilla JavaScript —
no external framework.
My name is Sao NGUYEN, also known online as Kotspium or Saoshii. I am a French first-year student in BUT MMI (Métiers du Multimédia et de l'Internet), more interested in art than in code.
When I was in high school, I made a Pokédex — but it was really bad and ugly, not very functional. With this project, I wanted to aim higher. This is not only a school project; it is also my personal tool, as I often use my own website to look up Pokémon.
English isn't my first language, but it was easier to find data in English rather than French. I was also too lazy to rename more than 1,557 sprites...
