Is this available for the Pokemon cards?

Honestly I'd love just a Pokedex API. It seems like the best right now is Veekun's work[1]. It just needs to be...API-fied.

Nintendo is very happy to give out C&Ds though, which might explain why such a thing doesn't already exist.

I'm actually working on that—hopeful to have something passable out by the release of X/Y.
Awesome! Are you using Veekun's database, or do you have your own source?

Edit: Wait, you are Veekun! Or at least I think you are, "eevee"'s GitHub profile links to Veekun's website.

veekun is my project, yes :)
Is this so that someone can build a Pokemon Snap AR game for our smartphones?
No it is not, but can add that to the code fairly easy :P
