If you're interested in playing with this idea without doing a custom build, check out Adafruit's MEMENTO - www.adafruit.com/product/5420 It is the same microcontroller as this project, but built with a screen and camera in a nice shell. It's everything you need to recreate this project and would also be easier to code as it's designed to work with Python, not C. The only downside is that it's just not red.
For the code, as mentioned in the video it is not in a good enough state to release, but with the instructions I outlined, I believe you could recreate it with a bit of research!
Have fun!
Thx man! Loved how your project came out.Earned a sub
i stumbled upon this as I was about to start my app version.
well wish me luck!
can you share the code?

@@kuroyuki919 for real?
If the voice worked perfectly this would be something i’d honestly buy
Imagine if companies like Nintendo and GameFreak actually cared to make cool products and not rehashed crap, with all the resources they have they could make a better version of this with a bigger full-color display, the Pokémon stats data, injection molded shell, etc... it would sell like hotcakes.
@@VanisherXP they used to sell pokedexs that worked they didnt have a camera but they had databases with all the pokemon entrys and stats and other things but the stopped making them due to not selling well enough.
unfortunately nintendo would definitely shut that down
An open-source scanning pokedex app that ran on Android would be amazing lol, I'd get the APK and load it into an old phone.
I feel like the voice is the easiest fix. The AI speech generators work a bit wonky and sometimes you just have to generate a specific sentence a couple of times or spell it incorrectly to get the right result.
Please let this live up to the hype
Edit: Lives up to the hype
All of his videos have lived up to the hype for me.
Dudes living up to the hype that Pokémon could never achieve
SPOILER?!? actually i came from the short so i know it’s hype already lol
Cool.

Ultrakill
Yes. That thought was obsessing me for the entire video
If this man goes missing, it was gamefreak
That was incrediable! Even if the end result had bugs in it, the fact that it actually works when everything is just right means that it can only improve from there :D
I forgot technology has bugs (despite literally being interested in tech) for a second and I was like “IT HAS BUGS???”
How did you get the little goat at the end of your name?

Incrediable
This is so cool! I actually think that the problem with the Fuecoco plush was ChatGPT, not your pokedex. I'm pretty sure ChatGPT's date cutoff is before the release of Scarlet and Violet, so it has no idea what any of the newer pokemon are. On the plus side, this means that your Pokedex works really well, it's just limited by the quality of ChatGPT's database. It should be able to accurately recognise anything up to Gen 7 and maybe some of the more popular Gen 8 Pokemon, but definitely not Gen 9.
This was exactly my thought regarding the Fuecoco plush, yeah. I'd love to see it tested on a plush of an older gen pokemon!
I'm pretty sure that's right - I remember someone trying to build a team in SV with ChatGPT when it first got popular but it didn't know anything about the new Pokemon or Terrastalization.
I think gpt4 has access to content after 2019, but I may be wrong
Paid 3.5 has, free and GPT 4 dont@@hugopistarelli4118
Gpt-4 now has access to real time internet searches.
Now imagine doing this offline, using a pre-trained model, and a tensorflow gpu haha.
Great job, I really like your dex!
I agree! In v2 the voice could be pre recorded on the SD for all pokemon and a dedicated classifier could be trained to run on TF Lite...
Your channel is fantastic, love the tone and the content. Keep up the good work Abe!
it will be trick to find an portable device capable of runing it even if its pre trained...
but its portable if he use the internet from his phone via thetering or something like that
@@igorgiuseppe1862 The thing is, a model actually designed to just recognize Pokemon would be wayy tinier.
@@somdudewillson i dont think so because you need to deal with false positives
@@somdudewillson but yeah you might be right, the issue is that we have 1000+ pokemon nowadays, with many different forms
What if you show it a picture of a Pokemon with a text below saying “This is a Pikachu”. Which Pokemon will it show?

I think Nintendo and the Pokemon Company should be taking notes. Like, if Nintendo made a real Pokedex like this, I'm so sure it would fly off the shelf. I would definitely buy one. Imagine if they could have made something like this back in 2004.
Why 2004 specifically?
2004? can't imagine since we didnt have AI's like chatgpt and good quality cameras to pick things out so nobody couldnt make a real-life pokedex. even if we did, we'll just have the same reaction as we did watching this in 2024
@xjunkxyrdxdog89 bc that's the year I was born so it was a super cool year 😎
@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 I guess, I should say 1999 but, idk. In 2004, pokemon and pokemon merch was a big deal. I mean, I guess it still is but, idk
@@LelandHasGamesalso it’s not feasible to make it with perfect tech that would probably cost like 100 or 200 dollars
"I set out to do what I've accomplished." NEW MOTIVATIONAL CATCHPHRASE

I'm impressed how much that ESP device can do for that size. Time to stockpile a few of them....
Just a few...
when pikachu gets identified i want the pokemon yellow "PIEEKAAH" intro voice in *EXTRA* crispy quality
I always wish nintendo kept making the pokedex toys but also added a unique code you can see in the games and merchandise to scan with the pokedex.
This though is a whole new level! Sure it's not perfect but it's able to scan so much more than a code!
Wait a second, a few years ago on the 3DS era every Pokemon was getting its own qr code or something. Wonder if that system is still working somewhere else like PoGo
@@shaiky1681 that was exclusive to gen 7 and was just for getting island scan pokemon iirc ( and seen versions of dex entries)
This was AWESOME, and I'd like to thank Gizmodo for clueing me in. I was not a Pokémon player until Pokemon Go, so I have NO knowledge of the franchise or its lore. Despite that, the craft and the love behind this is adorably fantastic, and I would absolutely buy one if it were available, just to have it with me for kicks out in the world. Superb work, sir! Hoping to see version 2.0 sometime!
Thanks so much for the kind words, David! Glad you enjoyed!
I like how open you are when it comes to things failing to work. not everything is going to work on the first try and that's okay, you just have to figure out why (as miss frizzle would say).
That's amazing. Just print the label on the back or inside the cover "it needs wifi connection with xyz name and abc password" and u can give it to anyone and it would work i suppose.
Since he's using online services you also need to pay the fees and have your own api key.
@@Otome_chan311 And that's a possible business idea.
@@me.ko.i1279 thats terrible because very few people would want to do that lol
Seeing the concept art part made me so happy! I just love doing the same thing, down to the bubble letters.
This has to be one of the coolest homemade projects I have seen on RUclips in a while!!
Loved the editing, pace, whole vibe. Great job man!!!
That's amazing man. Great job! Please continue to refine this project!!
This was incredible my man, I'm astounded by your determination to see it through and I can only imagine how hard those bugs must have been to squash. Nice work, I can't wait to see more.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!
Wow... Idk how to do literally any of the things in this video but the explanations & pacing made it totally watchable and entertaining anyway. Great video!
Great stuff! You are quickly becoming one of my favorite makers to watch.
Thanks man I appreciate that!!
Super cool project!! I've always wanted to see one of these built irl. If you ever develop this further in the future, it would be super cool to have a custom image recognition ML model trained for this, to replace the dependency on ChatGPT
This was so cool!!! Great work. Loved watching you make it
10:50 "I think I set out to do what I accomplished" bro's one step ahead 😂
The most surprising thing (for me) in this video is that dude is a big enough fan of pokemon to make this, but had to go to the store to get pokemon to test the pokedex
Maybe he just wanted to test it in the wild
@@bubblegumplastic he didn't, he bought stuff brought it home then tested it...
Road to 100k!! keep going, great stuff here
Amazing work! you worked so hard on this but it's worth every bit of effort
This is really cool!! Great idea and it was interesting to watch you workflow
abe, you never fail to absolutely stun me with your project ideas & execution! I aspire to have this sort of nature when doing my own creative projects. Keep it up! I also love your little drawn pieces you do before working on each project! They feel so very authentic, and explain everything they need to in as simple a form as possible. Have you considered selling them as prints?
Thanks for the kind words!! I have considered doing something with them... starting with this one I will make sure to save them going forward. Prints would be cool, or a big project book or something! I'm not sure but your interest is noted!
@@abetodaycould you possibly post more information about the software? I want to try to make this but see if it can be modified to be used for other applications.
@@abetodaywhat markers do you use? I like them!
2:23 That sweet Sea of Thieves chicken! It brings back good memories of better times when the game launced!
And the project turned out as great as always!
I love the style and pacing of the video. Great job!
omg, i loved it! hope u continue this amazing pokedex project
My dawg bringing fantasies to to RL , k33p it up mate love your projects 🤠
The part were you talk about the bugs and problems you stumbled upon is the best part!! We see many projects online, but those who talks about the difficulties are the best imo, because we all know it's a natural part of any project and when we get to see it, It just feels more complete.
I'm really curious to see what this project would look like with the voice rendering at perfection, and am curious about other things, like its range of recognition.
This is crazy even without the perfection. My 90s childhood self is screaming for one, lol. VERY impressive!! You've got yourself a new subscriber!
You should add a feature where you can add entries like the national dex
It would keep track of the pokémon you've seen and tell you how many you have so far
We're really proud of of you too 11:10
This is astounding! I can’t say enough about how great this project is!! Bravo!!!!
Another incredible project! Loved seeing all the bugs that you had to face and how you overcame them. Can't wait to see this hit 100K views!!!
Thanks so much cousin :D
Woohoo! A new Abe's project video is always exciting!
tbh i think a custom pre-trained ai would actually perform better than a generic one like gpt4 here
I’d be all in on whatever version down the road is built out of metal, with proper working lights, proper size screen, etc. This is great work!
Nice job! Looking forward to version 2 :)
Nowadays, the iPhone’s camera works like a Pokédex. It can tell you what plant or animal is in the photo you take.
Pretty sure everyone knows that...
@@Bad_Editor_man I didn’t
@@Dragon-kx6eb Skill issue
I wish it actually mimicked the orignal pokedex voice from the anime
I love these little projects, keep doing more please!
Cheers to this video skyrocketing to an easy 1M+ views! You deserve it for all the hard work you put into making our childhoods come to life. Just glad I could be here early! ❤
Maybe cause I got some good smoke. But that line you whispered... "I broke one." Has me rolling
Chat I'm going to give this handsome man his own studio and funding he deserves it fr don't stop man you make some interesting stuff
Imagine seeing a random pokemon in the show, Going "Hey what pokemon is that" but too lazy to actually search it up so you just pull this thing out and "Oh wow it's a ___".... Now THAT'D be awesome
This was such a cool project. I would love to see a version 2 at some point in the future. 👀
Awesome work.
I'm guessing the AI service detects drawn Pokémon better as that (the images on the internet) is the dataset they've stolen of off the WWW. As someone previously mentioned, would be even cooler if the PokéDEX had offline models for the detection and voice generation.
Still, very great job and great video
from "a real working pokedex" to "a clunky interface for a phone app and also i have not the slightest clue why i'm using those buzzwords i'm saying" in UNDER 2 minutes? that's a record!
This was a lesson of system engineering, and even being a hobbyist project, issues always come along the way, and you found your way on researching and fixing.
Good job!!! Really liked the video :)
Thank you so much!!
Still cannot believe the work you're doing for one ten minute video!
Great work here, super impressive.
I figure you did not get the voice actors permission to clone his voice since you did not mention it in the vid. Most VA have come out strongly against people using their work and voices without consent.
This is actually a fair point which I didn’t consider! I’ll be more careful about this in future projects.
Glad to hear it @@abetoday
@@abetoday That isn't even what the Pokédex even sounded like in the anime. Instead it sounded more like that one robot from M.A.S.K.
I’ve wanted to see this done for decades. So fricken dope. Awesome job!
this is incredible. im like super impressed. honestly making me want to learn how to code, good work
Here before 1 million views! This is dope and it's gonna blow up. Newer and better versions will come one after the other until one day an official one will be made, and this here is the first chapter of that story.
Good job bro!
I love this kind of projects, like useless BUT fun. I love making and watching people make this kind of projects!
I loved this, keep it up!
This was sooo cool! I'm not really much of a pokemon fan, but I can still really appreciate the design process and the end product, awesome work!
Well done! It’s great to see what passion can do!
This project needs to continue, this is sooo sick
Wow, I find this amazing! Great work 👏👏
Dude, hats off to you! That is a seriously cool accomplishment!
Man this is awesome device)
Liked and subscribed!
4:02 ‘four screws…three screws’ had me dead. also awesome build and video ofc
Oh man, I had this project in mind for so long! Kudos for actually making it real. Well, maybe I'll build the second one now 😅
This is amazing and looks incredibly complex.
I wish I had thought of this for my engineering projects
This is soo cool. At my design course we just started doing bits and bops with Arduino, and it just amazes me how much things you can make with it, even a pokedex! Very inspiring!
YT Shorts brought me here, amazing project man! Injects passion back into me to trudge on with uni, hoping to be creating awesome projects like these soon!
That is still great dude! Keep working on it!!
Cool as always, thanks for the video!
That's awesome! I want to see this Pokedex working 100%.
Top tier editing, humor, and skill set for an amazing build. As a data analyst wanting to branch into hardware work, this is an inspiring project!
Thanks friend!! Really glad you enjoyed!!
2:55 "you'll notice i'm being very delicate with these screens"
*proceeds to dump everything else out of the model without a care literally 3 secs later*
That dumping parts transition from case v0.1 to more finely modeled case was clever as hell!
Very good idea, and its working!
To upgrade: more info about Pokemon
This is freakin amazing man! Everything from the editing to the project itself is amazing!
What the heck is the music playing from 5:48 to 6:12 tho? It's really good :D
Really cool project and well presented - easy to follow and entertaining. I had to pause and giggle at "has four screws *clatter*... three screws"
This is so cool! Even with the bugs I'd buy it in a heartbeat lol
You did an awesome job my dude!! 👍
When you have a solid version of this you should make videos on the street at Pokemon events or something, that'd be really cool
Very cool! I love your dedication. I'd like to see the same thing, but for real animals in real life!
The advantages of playing pokedex with real animals is that they are more plentyful than Pokemon, and more varied, so you can play longer! In Pokemon there are 1025 species, which is A LOT. But on earth there is 8.7 million! Also they are more real, compared to Pokemon. That means you can see them with your eyes, as well as through the camera, and sometimes touch them.
Another aspect is that the looking for them would be more of an adventure. You would need to know a bunch of stuff about eagles to be able to find one. Or you might need to explore a creepy basement to find the last spider on your list. The difficulty of finding rare poke.. animals is a bit higher, but I'm sure the effort will be a lot of fun 🌟
That's amazing work. Well done
And it off to someone that will finish the project and make it perfect.
Good start.
Gotta be honest, The fact that this is even possible to be real, let alone actually *is* real, is a testament to just how far technology has come since the start of pokemon
This is honestly kinda insane, and
This is super cool and brought a smile to my face!
That is awesome, especially with keeping it pocket sized!
Your channel is very underrated. Keep up the good work 👍
That is really neat. It also needs that little ding sound before it talks if possible, but for what it is, wow.
This inspires me massively. I’d love to build one for my brother as a gift, but I’ve got a long way to get to where you are skill wise
Dude. You were right, this is awesome!
Dooood U DID iT!!! I alwys wanted a pokédex- Good job broo!! 💫
I want tht OG voice but damnn yah done did itt hahah awesome dood!
Thanks for this awesome video and device))
Dude this is an amazing attempt. Don’t give up. You could sell these for a lot 👍🏼
