I had no idea how much information to give for this puzzle, so I decided to start with none! I'll add hints if enough time passes / people are looking for direction.

$\begingroup$ @Taco タコス might wanna update the interactive grid you made, a few of the images are broken $\endgroup$– Quark-epochDec 18, 2021 at 7:58

$\begingroup$ @Quark-epoch unfortunately, those have been broken for a while; it's an issue with the API they're loaded from. $\endgroup$– Hazel へいぜるDec 18, 2021 at 21:53

Currently identifying every pokemon in the grid for all our puzzling friends who haven't memorized all the names, because there are a bunch listed here:

$\begingroup$ Thanks for the big table! Also, you forgot to mention the arguably most important thing about Pokemon: "What type(s) they are" $\endgroup$– justhalfSep 30, 2021 at 9:02

$\begingroup$ No worries. Granted, I only played up to Gen 3 or 4 I think, where the types are the unique thing. Most of the other categorizations you mention I am not familiar with, haha $\endgroup$– justhalfSep 30, 2021 at 9:06
