◆ Transparency
Use of AI Tools
Viewing how AI is important in today's society, i have to be transparent about it in my work.
Code - PHP development was assisted by
Claude (Anthropic) as i HATE PHP.
The AI helped me to write and debug server-side logic, resolve database query issues, and accelerate implementation of features outside my skill set. It helped a lot, but it didn't make everything. I used mostly because of time *insert Alice's rabbit meme*...
Texts - All page content, labels and descriptions were written by myself. Pokémon descriptions are sourced from official game data. No AI-generated text appears on the site.
Images - No AI-generated imagery is used. All sprites are sourced from open-source repositories credited below, made by amazing humain.

Many thanks to their maintainers and to the pixel artists who continue to produce
sprites for newly introduced Pokémon.

◆ Who am I
About the Creator
PanthéonDex was submitted as a final-year project on 29/05/2026.
It is built in PHP with a MySQL database, styled in CSS and driven with Javascript.
My name is Sao NGUYEN, known online as Kotspium or Saoshii. I am a first-year student in BUT MMI (Métiers du Multimédia et de l'Internet) in France, with a stronger inclination towards art and design than development.
This project is a spiritual successor to a Pokédex I built in high school : it was functional, but faaaar from polished. PanthéonDex was an opportunity to raise the bar, and doubles as a personal reference tool I use regularly.
English is not my first language; the site is in English primarily because the source data was available in English, and renaming over 1500 sprite files was out of the question.

Drawing portfolio
Currently hosted as a Google Slides presentation, it's quite old so i should update it by making a proper website for my second year (if I pass, pray for me).

Pet Meisho Doto
First website made during my ongoing formation, it's a tribute to the racehorse Meisho Doto, made six or five months before PanthéonDex.

First visual novel
Developed with Eternity_Isi in May 2024 using Ren'Py as a highschool final projet. I've mostly done the art and scenario but also some code as Ren'Py is quite easy.
