A Bestiary With Statistics Screensaver
The A Bestiary With Statistics screensaver shows pokédex entries, key-less and live from PokeAPI. This is a game's design document exposed as an API, and the base stats sum to a deliberate budget, so the bars are a designer's balancing decisions made visible. Bars scale against 255 — the hard ceiling a base stat can take — rather than against the creature's own best, which would make every one look equally strong. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
