About Us

favoritepokemon.net is an independent fan project built for Pokémon enthusiasts who want one place to search species, compare stats, save personal lists, and see what other fans heart most often. This page explains who operates the site, what we publish, and how our tools differ from official Nintendo or The Pokémon Company products.

Who we are

Independent fan project

The site is run as a hobby reference hub — not a corporation, game studio, or licensed Pokémon property. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK, or The Pokémon Company International. Our disclaimer covers trademark notices and unofficial status in full.

What we publish

You will find a searchable Pokédex, type and generation indexes, move and item references, team-building utilities, community leaderboards, and editorial guides aimed at collectors, casual players, and competitive planners alike. Everything is free to browse; we do not require account registration for core features.

Our mission

Why this site exists

Pokémon fandom spans decades of games, anime, and merchandise. Fans often bounce between wikis, spreadsheets, and social threads when picking a favorite species or drafting a themed team. We built favoritepokemon.net to keep dex lookup, personal saves, stat comparison, and community popularity context in one consistent experience.

Community-first tools

Heart saves on species profiles feed aggregated leaderboards so you can compare personal taste with fan sentiment on this domain. Local browser storage keeps your collection and team slots on your device unless you clear them. Optional sync helps leaderboard totals update without forcing a login wall.

How we source data

Reference APIs and curation

Stats, typings, learnsets, item effects, and artwork are compiled from public sources such as PokeAPI, community repositories, and manual curation. Display names, translations, and romanization may differ from in-game text in your region or language.

Accuracy and updates

We aim to keep information useful for hobby planning, but data may lag behind the latest main-series releases, spin-offs, or competitive rule changes. Guides and hub pages are revised when mechanics shift or when readers report clear errors. Always verify critical details in official games or sanctioned resources before competitive or purchasing decisions.

Editorial approach

Guides and hub content

Articles under Pokémon guides explain how to use site tools, interpret rankings, and explore types or generations. They reflect fan perspective and practical site workflows — not official strategy from game publishers.

Advertising and analytics

We may display third-party advertising through Google AdSense Auto ads, which places formats site-wide without manual ad blocks in our templates. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity may also load in production. See our privacy policy and cookie policy for opt-out links. Revenue helps cover hosting and continued development of reference tools.
