# PokemonLore

> PokemonLore (pokemonlore.com) is a multilingual Pokémon encyclopedia: a complete Pokédex, type matchup charts, daily and random discovery, in-depth strategy guides, and a regularly updated news hub covering Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the Trading Card Game, Pokémon HOME, and game releases.

PokemonLore is available in four languages: English (no URL prefix), Japanese (`/ja`), Brazilian Portuguese (`/pt-BR`), and Rōmaji (`/roomaji`). The links below use English paths; add a locale prefix to read another language. Pages are server-rendered (Next.js 15) and Pokémon data is sourced from PokéAPI.
