Pokémon TCG Card Database vs The Visual Novel Database

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.

The Visual Novel Database (VNDB) is a free resource for information about visual novels and eroge, available on the web and through an API. Its wiki lets people add and contribute information, including general details and practical coverage of releases, localisations and producers. Registered users can vote on visual novels and maintain lists of games they want to play or have finished. VNDB also aims to introduce visual novels to a broader audience across geographic and cultural differences. The Kana HTTPS API can query the database and manage user lists. Non-commercial API access costs nothing and is subject to limits: 200 requests per 5 minutes, one second of execution time per minute, and automatic abortion of requests exceeding three seconds. API availability is best-effort, with no guarantees about stability or applicability. It does not provide some site functions, including forums, database editing and account creation. Users can obtain API tokens from the Applications tab in My Profile, and a sandbox endpoint at beta.vndb.org/api/kana is available for testing and development. VNDB's first version went live in September 2007.
