Awesome, thanks so much for working on this!

I’ve suggested, many times, adding some custom formats to this site. This would allow us to ban cards from certain kinds of play… (Imagine a Base~Neo without Babies, Chaos Gym, and Rocket’s Sneak Attack!) It would also open the doors for an ‘Anything Goes’ format that would be super chaotic and probably just for testing/just for fun between friends. I think that a custom format would also allow for a format that would include cards like this, kind of like a ‘Base~Neo+’ format.

Agreed. I havent worked on creating the cards in a while, but I will get back on it soon. When they are done and added, we should try to get new formats added. I think “New HoFF” and “Prop 15/3” should be added.
Adding a custom formats feature has been on my mind for a while recently. I want the new feature to support any kind of custom requirements like Hall of Fame, Prop 15/3 and GLC at player’s will. There will be an advanced UI to specify format inclusion criteria with filters. I recently only did an internal design of the structures to describe custom formats but the execution process hasn’t started yet.

Seriously, this would be amazing and above what I expected, to be quite honest! It would also be sick to get a custom format for the Gameboy game and Gameboy sequel. If there was ever an emergence of people playing the TCG 1 on the Switch, online, this site could be used by a lot more people like they use Pokemon Showdown to practice before making the decks in-game. Anyway, just want to tell you how freaking excited I am for this feature. It opens a lot of doors and I just want to encourage it.
To make sure we stay on topic, I’ve created a new topic to discuss my ideas:

These would be my requested top eleven that seem to be the most unique/fun: (not including the Porygon which I understand many do not want on the site):
Hungry Snorlax, Cubone (CoroCoro promo), Koga’s Ninja Gym (CoroCoro promo), Steelix (Pokémon Card Trainers promo), Charizard (Premium File 2 promo), Marill (ANA promo), Great Rocket’s Mewtwo (Pokémon Card GB2 promo), Dark Ivysaur (Pokémon Card Trainers Promo), Dark Venusaur (Pokémon Card Trainers Promo), Dark Fearow (Pokémon Card GB2 promo), Jynx (CoroCoro promo)

Good choices, I would also add:
Lugia (GB2 promo), Smoochum (Corocoro), Magby (Intro neo), Shining Mew (Corocoro).
Porygon should also be added to tcgone, but in unlimited format only, so it can be used in Hall of fame format when custom formats come out.
Those English mock ups have me salivating! Definitely interested in seeing more (and possibly implementing these on here?) @admin
We can definitely have those cards implemented on TCG ONE, but I need someone to handle the process of digitizing the card text.
The process of adding cards to TCG ONE starts with Card metadata correctly typed into a special YAML form in carddb repo, under this folder. As you can see, each expansion has a YAML file, so we’d need these cards to be put under their own YAML file. This YAML file has a structure to enter card information in.
For official English expansions, we have a helper module that transforms card data from pokemontcg.io into TCG ONE format, but since they don’t have card information for these promo cards, the info should be manually typed. (Honestly, it would have been great if there was an AI-driven way to get them from card scans directly)
After the metadata has been entered into YAML file, please issue a Pull Request on Github to add this file into the repository. Automated checks will be performed on the given YAML file to ensure it’s valid and in expected format. If there are no issues, I will accept the pull request.
We will then need to put the scans in our scans server. I can give you access to that when we’re at this stage. After then comes the implementation stage, where each card effect need to be programmed and I can handle this part. Let me know if you have any questions about this process.

Hi Admin! I am really having trouble with even the most basic understanding of the 1st step in this process such as creating a folder for these cards in https://github.com/tcgone/carddb/tree/master/data/src/main/resources/cards.
Is there anyone else who understands this whole process out there that can help with this? I am happy to type out moves and Cards but I honestly am not tech savvy enough for what is instructed above
Hi jamie756, the first step involves creating a YAML file (in that folder you’ve linked) with all meta information of the cards that are going to be added, similar to the other files in that folder. The internal format can be deducted by looking at one of the existing files. E.g. create “175-japanese-promos.yaml” then fill in the card structure.
Hi Admin,
I have finished making the YAML file with all of the data using the existing formatting. I am having trouble creating a Pull Request. When I click New Pull Request, it takes me to Compare · tcgone/carddb · GitHub and there’s 2 Options for Base and Compare, which I do not know how to use or proceed or what to with. I am stuck here, as the Create Pull Request is greyed out and unable if you could please guide me through this.
If it is easier, I could e-mail you the YAML file. Please let me know.
Hi jamie756, the process is a little more complicated, you first need to fork a branch under your username then upload your file with a new commit before sending a pull request. Check out this article. Remember Google as your friend 
Send me a PM if you have more questions.
Hi Admin,
Okay thanks, I have submitted the Pull request. Please let me know if any questions or next steps.

Unfortunately I do not see any PR submitted. Can we continue this conversation through a PM? Send me a screenshot please.
Kudos to @jamie756 for submitting metadata for these cards!
Now we need all English fakes. @FGR89 is there any further progress you can share with us?

At this point, I got proxies made of most Japanese exclusive cards from that era. They are on gen 2 templates, though.

Hi. I have created quite a few cards since the last time, but I had abandoned it a bit. Now that I know the project is progressing, I promise to create more when I have time. I’m storing everything in personal albums on Imgur…
Imgur albuns
sorry for putting the links this way, I can’t put direct links to imgur
They are not final versions yet. I hope the community can take the time to check for spelling or translation errors, suggest changes, suggest better images or scans, etc. and discuss it here.

Hi @FGR89 @linkinboss I’ve shared a Dropbox shared folder with you as private message so you can both upload the files in there. It’s important to follow consistent numbering with metadata. Full file contents
