I did this because I wanted the tool to stay cheap to run and predictable.</p> <p>I’m still improving the English support, so I’d really appreciate feedback on:</p> <ul> <li>whether the example prompts feel natural</li> <li>which inputs fail or feel awkward</li> <li>whether the chat-style UI is clear</li> <li>what would make it more useful for actual battles</li> </ul> <p>English page:<br> <a href="https://poke-chat-calc.netlify.app/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://poke-chat-calc.netlify.app/en/</a></p> <p>This is an unofficial fan-made tool and is not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures, or The Pokémon Company.</p> <h1> showdev #sideprojects #javascript #webdev </h1> nlp showdev sideprojects webdev
