Does this come ready to go, with the abilities/natures/attacks added in or does it only have those in the preview?

The rest will need to be added, it can either come empty (ready to load what you want), or with those shown in the preview.

In the future I may look into creating a scraper that would retrieve all of the details from some sort of database (such as serebii) and adding to the code, but of course only if requested at a premium (such a thing would take a bit of time).

Can you quote me at what that would cost?

Price would be per hour as outlined here. Although that states $20/hr, I would charge $15/hr as it would then be added to the current code base for the flexible pokemon bb code for other people to buy (at a $5 extra per hour than the current price).

As an example of how it works, I estimated the pokemon bb code to take 3 hours, which would be $60. As the person who requested it allowed me to resell to others afterwards, I charged her 75% ($45), and the remaining 25% is charged per other user ($15, the current price).

I am unable to give a good estimate on this as I haven't scraped a website in at least 5 years. If you can give me a budget to work with (bearing in mind that the bb code itself will cost $15), then I can tell you whether or not it's too low, or if its something I may be able to work with.

I've just spent about 1 hour having a go at this and have managed to scrape all abilities. It shouldn't be too hard to do the rest either. I'd say it'll take 3h in total, which would be $45 with the 25% discount. In the festive spirit of Christmas, I'd give you the BB Code on top for free. If you're interested, I'll get to work on it ASAP. If you're not interested, let me know so I can close the request.

$45 sounds more than fair. I'm definitely interested, just want to clarify some things.

To be clear, what 'categories' would be included? Natures, Items, Abilities and Attacks are in the video so I assume those are bundled in. Will Pokemon be included as well?

Also, is hosting required with this code? And will it require Dynamo?

Oh should have made it clear. This DOES require Dynamo (it uses the static notification system for displaying tooltips). If you really do not want to use Dynamo, it might be possible to extract the notification code base and add that separately.

I've managed to extract "Abilities" so far. My quote above was based on what was shown in the video. If you can find what you want on pokemondb.net, I should be able to scrape the data without too much work (i.e one single page with all the information you need, such as this for items). If you want anything else added, I'll need to add that to the quote - `[pokemon=pikachu]` sort of thing won't be too easy though - unless you have some sort of hosting to host the images. If you do, and you want this, let me know what you want the tooltip to display.

Are you happy with what information the tooltips display at the moment (from the video)? If not, let me know what you want it to display (using any data that you can find from the pokemondb.net site). For example, the abilities page has data on how many Pokémon has each ability, and so I could show that.

Hosting is an iffy one. The code does link to my server (it can't be externally hosted for security reasons), but I don't charge for this service.

Okay, I'll stick with the 4 in the video. Don't have hosting at the moment and the Pokemon addition wouldn't add much anyways. This will be nice enough.

Nature and attack info are fine. For ability, do as you mentioned and include the number of Pokemon that can have it. For items, include the item category (hold, battle, general, key, berries, etc.).

And I'll be using Dynamo soon, just working on the details of adding it and stuff. No need to worry about working around that.

Let me know if there's anything else you need to know.

Do you want part/all of the money upfront?

Okay. Can you do a mock up of how you want each bbcode to look like (if different to the video)?

There are two different states, first is what it's replaced with in the post, and the second is the tooltip content.

So, for example `[ability=serene-grace]` should be replaced with `Serene Grace` with the following tooltip content (or provide an image):

`+-------------------------------------+
|Serene Grace-----2 Pokemon have this|
+-------------------------------------+
|Description here.......................|
+-------------------------------------+`

Watched the video again and they're all fine.

Item has a space already for the item type (where it says Medicine - HP Recovery).

Ability is fine as you have shown in that post above this one.

Attack and Nature are fine as well.
