Pokémon Data Visualization Poster

This data visualization poster features 100 Pokémon personal team members. The Pokémon are shown in seven categories: height, weight, type(s), Base Stat Total (BST), number of evolution stages, discovery region, and catch rate. Each stat is based on the most recent Pokémon game in 2024, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The data is displayed in a larger-than-life Pokéball graphic. To order them on the x-axis, they were sorted by type and height. The top half of the Pokéball uses a greyscale bar graph to show the height, weight, and BST. The height of the bar represents the Pokémon’s height, the width of the bar represents its weight, and the opacity/blackness of the bar represents its Base Stat Total; the darker the bar, the higher the BST is. On the bottom half, the 100 lines split into 172 lines of a 172-section chord diagram, where each color line represents one of 18 Pokémon types. The number of lines increases because some Pokémon in the data set have two types. The 100 Pokémon were horizontally organized so that the primary type lines go straight down toward their section on the diagram without needing to curve. The secondary-type lines are shown behind the primary lines, slightly blurred and in a lower opacity, reaching the destination in curved paths to accommodate how far they travel. In the middle section, icons represent the number of evolution stages, catch rate, and region of discovery. The key for the visualization has a background graphic and pixelated text inspired by the text boxes of the Pokémon Red and Blue games.
