Pokemon Website Thoughts

So WOW i created a plug-in outline for the pokedex page and jesus h christ it is taking forever! To set up each pokedex. So what im thinking is creating something i call a VPP, or a Visual Plug and Play.

The VPP will work like a fill in the blank. This is what the page looks like:

Piplup                                 Prinplup                                Empoleon

Empleon
Ability - Blaze | Ability - Torrent
Hidden Ability - Transform

Overview                                 Moves                                    Location

Leveling Up Moves                  TM/HM Moves                           Movesets

---Then it shows a list of moves in an organized table here---

but to actually fill in all of this for every pokemon is going to take a while (there is something like 693 pokemon total). As you can tell, the text is bigger depending on which link you are looking at, if you are viewing the TM/HM moves then TM/HM Moves will be bold and bigger and Leveling Up Moves will be normal size. i can keep the header for the most part, but still will have to change some stuff around every time. So here is my VPP suggestion.







Overview                           Moves                              Location

Leveling Up Moves                         TM/HM                          Movesets

The VPP of the movesets will go here but i dont want to release my whole layout


This will make submitting entries so much better and faster easier in my opinion, havent built it yet and havent tried it. Hope it works. This will just be another tool added my my fast growing collection. As you can tell, the checkboxes are for deciding on which link the page is going to be under. Which will make it bold and bigger. This will make sumbitting entries so easy that i can pay my 12 and 13 year old sister to do it, which i might. it will make it go by faster and you dont have to be a programmer to use this tool.
