Title: DEX: Trainer name search!
Post by: Joeno on January 24, 2008, 20:31
Trainer Search (http://pkmn.net/?action=dex&page=trainersearch)

Is it useful? No, not really, to be honest. But it is fun. This new little feature searches our trainer data for trainers with your name, or those names close to it. Try it, it's fun. What Pokemon do you own in the Pokemon games?

(Trainer data is not yet fully complete, since I am working on adding those and I have had other obligations. It'll be there eventually, so keep checking back!)

Haha, that's funky. Clever how it recognises Japanese spellings too.

Like Kay -> Kei.

Amazingly pointlessly good fun :D

Heh, cool little addition there. It appears that "Richard" is a biker, and "Rich" is a gamer, but that pic red X'd for me, so I assume it was the Super Nerd pic. That's comforting, I'm a nerdy biker lol. Keep up the good work with cool stuff like this! ;D

My name didn't bring up anything. :<

Anyway, this is great! It's nice to know which Pokémon belong to trainers you can't fight more than once, as well! But that's just me. Props to my main man Irwin.*

*the Juggler, not a real person I know.

Only 1 Richard in the games. The Pshchic Trainer is GSC, on Route 26.

This could be helpful though. In the past there have been trainers with specific pokemon and I forget where they are.

Ah! I typed in Ricard >.<! How do I manage to spell my own name wrong lol. Anyway, that's what brought up Ricardo, the Biker. Rich is a gamer though, so I'm a psychic gamer... I should gamble. =D

Then we have thing in common.
The only Rock and Ground types I like are Dunspace and legends, because they so rare. I like Water, Psychic, and Fire. And Grass.

Post by: MonsterMon64 on June 07, 2008, 02:10
Just for fun, I tried the names I've given the hero trainer over the years, and came up with:

*Splash (the hero for my Blue version)
...Lol nothing. XD

*Simon (the hero for my Silver version)
G/S/C: A Swimmer with two level 20 Tentacools. Male swimmers have an awesome design origin (I forget the game's name, though, but it was an old NES one Game Freak made...which I never played D: ) so I can't really complain. ^.^

*Derek (Sapphire version)
G/S/C: A PokéFan with a Lv. 17 Pikachu. :P
Ru/Sa/Em: Not in the search, but I remember distinctly meeting a Bug Maniac named Derek. I think it was on the same route as the Daycare center? Bug Maniacs are awesome. ;-;

*Monty (Pearl version)
Brought up two Matthews, but no Monty. :<

Oh, if it isn't too hard to implement/there aren't other priorities, would it be possible to search by trainer class, too?
Title: Re: DEX: Trainer name search!
Post by: Mertek the Elekid on June 07, 2008, 10:27
Trying all the names ive used in pokemon over the years and of course my real name and username i got the following:

Mertek - nothing

Eddie - Youngster Eddie > FR/LG > Route 11 > w00t.lvl 21 Ekans.
         - Burglar Eddie > G/S/C > Goldenrod Underground 2f > Growlithe lvl 26 (yay!), Koffing lvl 24 (boo!)

Wren - closest approximation is Youngster Warren > G/S/C > Route 3

Charboy - nothing obviously.

So yeah, looks like only my real name is good for anything in Pokemon heheh :P

I have only fully added RBY and GSC, and am getting further with FRLG. RSE has only a handful of routes done.

It's being considered, but I need to figure out the best way to do it. I need to work out some technical issues, and it'd be nice to get more of them done as well first.

And related to that I ought to get working on "Search for trainers owning this Pokemon". Hmm.

I tried my full name and nothing came up. I tried a shortening and I got Bug Catcher Al from the Azelea Gym.

I'm not even a fan of bug Pokemon...  :P

Post by: RachelPiplupLover on July 28, 2008, 19:21
The search is quite entertaining, useless, but still fun.

However, there are no trainers called Rachel it seems, it just comes up with some Hikers called Russel who have lv.6 geodudes  :dry:
