It contains all 1010 Pokémons avaliable at PokemonDB, which is the data source for this project. The sprites were sourced from there, and also from the PokeAPI.

Why not? Palm OS devices are really capable of having a pokedex, and none were really available before this. And when playing DS/3DS Pokemon games, you will mostly likely already have a stylus on your hand and guess what, said stylus will work prefectly fine on Palm OS devices but not on your phone! So it's a bit more convenient in that use-case. And of course, it's another excuse for you to give your trusty PDA a go ;) It was a great way of practice programing, nevertheless and I learnt a lot from it.

You can use it directly on your browser by checking out the demo here. Just click on Palmkedex, and then on the "Launch" button. It will emulate a Sony Clie NR70v, which is a Palm OS 4 device with 16MB of RAM, 16 bpp color density, and a high resolution screen. It is running the hres-16bpp version of the sprite and icon packs.

If you just want to see how it looks, check out the screenshots section of this document.

Click here to go right to the latest version. Do not mirror them elsewhere without my express permission.

You can find the binaries (the .prc files) in the release section of Github, or at PalmDB.

You normally will want to install three things:

• The Palmkedex app;
• The Sprite pack, which is the "big" image of Pokemon, it is shown when you are viewing it's details;
• The Icon pack, which is "small" image of a Pokemon, it is shown at the main screen before selecting a Pokemon.

The Sprite and Icon pack are optional, you may not install them to save space (which will cause a placeholder to be shown instead). You can also install only one of the packs.

Install Palmkedex.prc then

• SpritePack-lres-4bpp.prc and IconPack-lres-4bpp.prc if your device has a low resolution display (160x160 pixels) and is greyscale
• SpritePack-lres-16bpp.prc and IconPack-lres-16bpp.prc if your device has a low resolution display (160x160 pixels) and is color
• SpritePack-hres-4bpp.prc and IconPack-hres-4bpp.prc if your device has high resolution display (320x320 or 320x480 pixels) and is greyscale
• SpritePack-hres-16bpp.prc and IconPack-hres-16bpp.prc if your device has high resolution display (320x320 or 320x480 pixels) and is color

• Palmkedex.prc - The app. Contains the application and all the Pokemon data.
• Palmkedex-minimal.prc - Same as above, but intended for devices with restricted storage. It only has low-resolution bitmaps, does not support color, screen resize, and has no specific device code (like Sony Clie's JogDial, Handera screen modes, etc). Useful for Palm OS 1.0/2.0 devices with 1MB or less of RAM.

As explained above, there two packs:

• Sprite Pack, which is the "big" image of a Pokemon, it is shown when you are viewing it's details;
• Icon pack, which is "small" image of a Pokemon, it is shown at the main screen grid before selecting a Pokemon.

You normally will want to install both, but in reality, neither are mandatory. You can install only one of them as well.

Pack Types

Install only one sprite pack, and one icon pack based on your device's screen resolution and color depth.

The main aspects that will determine which pack to install are screen resolution and color density. There are three resolutions:

• Low Resolution - lres (160x160)
• Medium Resolution - mres (240x240/240x320)
• High Resolution - hres (320x320/320x480)

And four color densities:

• 1bpp (Monochrome, black and white)
• 2bpp (4 shades of gray)
• 4bpp (16 shades of gray)
• 16bpp (65536 colors, being the only one which is not grayscale)

Check your device specs to know which is the correct combination for your device. You can use the table below as a reference.

Please note that the table provided is not exhaustive. It is recommended to consult your device's specifications to determine the appropriate pack for your specific model. Choosing the correct pack ensures optimal display quality and compatibility with your device.

Here is how each one of them looks:

*-lres pack:

1bpp	2bpp	4bpp	16bpp

*-mres pack:

4bpp	16bpp

*-hres pack:

4bpp	16bpp

To build this application from source use the toolchain available here, edit the paths of the building tools on the makefile, then simply run make in the root of the project after running the scrapper. Some tinkering will be necessary at the moment, but everything you need to build is present in this repo (with the exception of the SDKs). I'll update this section to add more detailed instructions.

I'd like to thank all the people on PalmDB's Discord Server that helped me with issues with C and Palm OS development; that demonstrated interest in the project and pushed me forward to complete it; that sent ideas and opinated about the features and looks of it; and probably much more things. Many thanks to you all!
