## What it is
A database of Pokémon box sprites and inventory item sprites from the core series games, including custom shiny variants, with metadata files for programmatic access. Sprites are available as individual PNG files or via an npm package.

## Use cases
- get pokemon box sprites for a pokedex app
- find item icons for a pokemon fan game
- add shiny pokemon sprites to a website
- programmatically look up pokemon sprite images
- build a pokemon team builder with official-style icons

## When to choose
- you need consistent, up-to-date Gen 7/8 box and item sprites with metadata
- you want shiny variants not available in-game
- you need sprites accessible via npm or as plain files

## When to avoid
- you need sprites from Gen 1-4 games
- you need animated or high-resolution artwork rather than small box sprites
- commercial use is a concern, since sprites are © Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: image-processing, data-generation
- domain: gaming-tools, files
- platform: cross-platform, python
- tags: pokemon, sprites, icons, pokedex, game-assets, shiny-pokemon, game-development, nodejs
