Partially Approved Search Engine for Avatars

[Genra]

I enjoy the large quanties of avatars avalaible on Pokémon Showdown, but I find that it's sometimes difficult to find specfic avatars, or that it's easy to miss good-looking avatars while scrolling.

That is why I have made a Google Spreadsheet containing all 1151 current avatars on Showdown, which helps to organise the avatars and allows a user to filter out selections:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...BnJK9lKlrQTo3QKJ59fez0gSBb4xw/pub?output=xlsx

To view it:

1. Click on the link to download an Excel file.
2. Upload the file to Google Sheets.
3. Ta-da!

(note that the spreadsheet makes use of Google Sheets' "Insert Image in Cell" function and thus will break when used in Excel)

I also reccomend you set Zoom to 75%.

Avatars are given 5 distinct attributes:

• Trainer class
• Region of Origin (which region the character comes from)
• Appearance Origin (which Generation the appearance comes from [e.g. Red in RBY is different from Red in HGSS])
• Gender
• Artist (if it is an in-game sprite or custom sprite)

I hope that this list can be made more publicly avaliable. If there are any questions, suggestions or errors, please reply to me in this thread.

Although the Google Sheet idea is not the route I think we should go, the ability to search for avatars by the criteria you mentioned could be a really nice feature.

Would the ideal solution be something HTML related and in-baked into the avatar webpage? I went with Google Sheets because I knew the software better lol
