Hello,

First of all, let me specify english is not my natural language, so please forgive my mistakes.

I'm a french former "pokedad" (my son and I were playing in Play!Pokemon french league and collecting few years ago), and I have been developping for 7 years a software (for Windows platform only) for pokemon tcg collection management, and other P!P helping functions (deckbuilder, proxies, ...) .
Now I'm not involved anymore in pokemon activities (my son grew up and let his collection apart) but I'm still maintaining and updating my software for the french people who use it.

Till now, this software was only designed for the french pokemon TCG community, and so it is only available in french language.
I am actually thinking about adding a multi-language user interface, at first to provide an english UI.

I would like to know if such a software already exists for US or english people, if you use it or if you think an english version of my software would be very usefull for you ?
Since this represents a large amount of work, I would like to be sure it is worth the work before starting (no need to spend hours if nobody needs this).

Here is a short description of the software features :
- Database of ~9000 cards (almost all of the US/european Pokemon sets, from Base set to XY Breakthought, and promo cards)
- Each card description includes english & french names, HP, type, evolution stage, weakness/resistance, retreat cost,...
- Ability to download english or french card scans, from various well-known internet sites (mostly pokemon.com for US cards, sometimes bulbapedia or other sites). Please note that no card scan is distributed with the software.
- User can also add its own scans, if desired.
- Multi-criteria search function to find matching cards in database
- Cards can be added in 3 groups : collection, "haves", "wants"
- generate lists (for instance haves/wants to post on a forum, checklists to print, ...)
- Manage trades (keep track of which card you need to send to who, and which one you will receive)
- Search cards on ebay (active or completed auctions)
- Compute some statistics about your collection
- Print proxies (from downloaded scans)
- Build deck and print legal decklists
- Last but not least, it's free (donations are possible, though)

You can see some screenshots on this website : http://rroussea51.wix.com/pokebase2
The french version can be downloaded on this site too if you want to give it a try.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
 
Signed up just to say that I would love this. Been looking around and haven't found anything similar. It would be nice if it also mentioned what format cards where legal for.

Thanks for your answer.

The software is aware of the current standard (modified) format. Searches or card selections (for deckbuilding or proxies printing) can be limited to cards that are legals in modified format.
The only limitation here are reprinted cards ; Actually cards that are previous prints of a legal card are not considered when searching for tournament legal cards. This is because there is no link between reprinted cards in the database. This could be added in the future, though.

Expanded format is not managed, mainly because this format was introduced after I stopped playing, and nobody asked me to add it until now.
