LaunchBox vs Pokémon TCG Card Database

LaunchBox is a game collection frontend and manager for modern PC games and emulated console games. It can import Steam and GOG games, ROM files, and MS-DOS games, then retrieve box art and metadata from its Games Database along with fan art, screenshots, and logos. Collections can be arranged and filtered by genre, platform, ESRB rating, developer, and publisher, with custom status and source fields. The Windows app supports Windows 10 and higher, with Windows 10 and 11 described as fully supported. LaunchBox for Android is free for collections of 100 games or fewer; it shares the games database, media, and portable XML data with Windows, and Windows data can be exported to Android. Premium adds themes, Big Box mode, gamepad automation, startup and pause screens, and display customization. The Regular Windows license costs $30 as a one-time purchase and includes a year of free updates. The maker says Premium is DRM-free and can be deployed to as many personal devices as desired. Windows data can also be moved by copying the app to another folder or computer.

Pokémon TCG Card Database is a free web tool for finding Pokémon Trading Card Game cards. Basic search accepts a card name or keyword, while advanced filters narrow results by card type, Energy type, rarity, evolution, tournament format, expansion, hit points, retreat cost, attack cost, weakness, resistance, or illustrator. Users can search card descriptions, including attack text and special rules. The format filter identifies the tournament format in which a card is legally playable. Card pages can show HP, attacks, weakness, resistance, retreat cost, expansion, collector number, rarity, and illustrator, with some pages linking to related cards sharing a Pokémon name. The search page lists expansions from Mega Evolution, Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, XY, and Black & White, plus older series. Text that is not essential to gameplay cannot be searched. Pokémon says the separate TCG Card Dex app was removed and deactivated on September 20, 2023, while this database remains available for card searches. The service runs on the web and is free to use.
