This is the Automation and Tools category!
Whether you’ve coded your own custom tools (like a damage calculator), have a cool spreadsheet to share, or written macros or programs for automating Shiny hunting, this is the place to share it. This category is for the brilliant, fan-made resources that make playing, tracking, and exploring the games of Pokémon easier and more fun.
What this category is for:
- Showcasing your work - share apps, scripts, spreadsheets, or bots you have created.
- Discovering new tools - find fan-made resources to enhance your gameplay.
- Development discussion - chat about APIs, coding challenges, or collaborating on new projects.
- Constructive feedback - offer suggestions and thank creators for hard work.
What this category is NOT:
This category is not a dedicated tech support desk. You’re welcome to ask questions about how tools work or get simple support on macros, remember that creators are sharing their work here for free.
- Do not demand updates, bug fixes, or new features.
- Do not expect 24/7 troubleshooting if a third-party app or tool isn’t working.
- If the tool has an official GitHub issue tracker or Discord support server, please use those channels for direct support instead!
Guidelines for Posting Here:
Please try to include the following in your posts:
- A clear description - what does the tool do? What games/generations does it support?
- Links and source - provide a link to the tool, download page, or source code. If you are sharing someone else’s tool always credit the original creator.
- Basic instructions - A quick guide on how to install or use it.
- TOS Disclaimer - If your automation/bot interacts directly with live-service parts of games (such as automatically doing ranked battles) note that we will likely delete the post. Automating button presses for local-only things like shiny hunting or making calculations easier are acceptable, directly cheating or gaining unfair advantages are not.
