Software developers turned their collecting frustration into a solution that’s revolutionizing how Pokemon fans manage their treasures.

NEW YORK, NY – What started as a late-night complaint session between two childhood friends has evolved into Card Codex, the comprehensive Pokémon card database that’s changing how collectors track and manage their prized collections.

Tom Urbain and Oli Southward had been Pokemon card enthusiasts since the original Base Set release in 1998. But by 2022, their shared hobby had become a source of constant frustration.

“We both had these absolutely massive Excel files,” laughs Urbain, a full-stack developer at a local tech startup. “Oli had over 3,000 rows in his spreadsheet, and I wasn’t far behind. We’d spend entire weekends trying to figure out which cards we were missing from new sets.”

The breaking point came during a particularly heated trading session. Southward, a UX designer, had accidentally bought duplicate copies of a $200 Charizard because his spreadsheet organization had failed him. Again.

“I looked at Oli surrounded by these identical expensive cards and said, ‘Dude, we’re software people. Why are we living like this?’” Urbain recalls.

That weekend, fueled by pizza and childhood nostalgia, the duo began sketching out what would become Card Codex. Their vision was simple: create the Pokemon card database they wished existed as collectors, not just as developers.

Building for Collectors, By Collectors

Unlike existing databases that focused primarily on card information, Card Codex was designed around the actual collecting experience. The platform combines comprehensive card data with intuitive collection management, real-time market pricing, and smart watchlist features.

“We knew the technical specs of every card weren’t enough,” explains Southward. “Collectors need to know what they own, what it’s worth, and what they’re hunting for next. Most tools only solved part of that puzzle.”

The friends spent nine months building Card Codex in their spare time, testing features with their local Pokemon league and iterating based on real collector feedback. They launched with a database of over 20,000 cards spanning every major Pokemon set, complete with high-resolution images and current market values.

From Personal Project to Community Platform

What began as a solution to their own spreadsheet chaos has grown into a platform serving over 1,500 collectors worldwide. Users have cataloged more than 150,000 cards worth an estimated $1.4 million in total value.

“The growth has been incredible,” says Urbain. “We’re seeing everyone from casual collectors with 50 cards to serious investors tracking portfolios worth tens of thousands of dollars.”

The platform’s watchlist feature has become particularly popular, allowing collectors to track cards they’re hunting across multiple sets and receive alerts when prices drop or cards become available.

The Future of Digital Collecting

As the Pokemon card market continues to evolve, Urbain and Southward see Card Codex playing an increasingly important role in the community. They’re currently working on features like collection analytics, market trend predictions, and expanded social features.

“We’re still those kids who got excited pulling a holographic Charizard,” says Urbain. “Now we just happen to have built the tools to help other collectors have those same moments more easily.”

For collectors still managing their prized Pokemon cards in spreadsheets, Card Codex offers a free tier to get started. Premium features unlock advanced analytics and unlimited collection tracking.

The platform is available at card-codex.com.

Seasplendor Prosperity Group has announced the launch of a multilingual and global localization upgrade under the leadership of Graham Hawthorne. This initiative introduces expanded language support, region-specific content, and localized investor tools, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to accessibility, transparency, and international growth.

Global Localization Strategy

Seasplendor Prosperity Group unveiled its multilingual and localization upgrade designed to strengthen engagement with investors across global markets. The initiative marks a pivotal step in the organization’s mission to ensure that advanced financial tools and educational resources are available to a wider international audience.

The upgrade integrates region-specific market insights, localized regulatory frameworks, and multilingual user interfaces. This structure allows institutional clients and retail investors from diverse geographies to access financial technology solutions with cultural and linguistic accuracy. By aligning services with local expectations, the initiative positions Seasplendor Prosperity Group as a trusted partner for global investors seeking tailored resources.

Expanded Language Support

The new upgrade introduces a multilingual interface supporting English, German, Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, and Arabic at launch, with additional languages planned for future integration. Each language version is customized to reflect not only accurate translation but also localized financial terminology, ensuring clarity and usability across diverse markets.

The Group has invested in advanced natural language processing systems to ensure consistency in communication across multiple languages. In addition, user education programs, including workshops and training sessions, will now be offered in multiple languages to expand accessibility to knowledge resources.

Regional Market Integration

Localization extends beyond language to incorporate region-specific features. Market dashboards will reflect local economic indicators, while compliance modules are aligned with regional regulations. This ensures that investors in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East can operate within their respective regulatory frameworks while benefiting from the same advanced analytical tools.

Seasplendor Prosperity Group emphasized that local support teams will be expanded to provide advisory services in native languages, creating an environment where investor confidence and understanding are prioritized.

[August 2025] As the volatility in the digital asset market continues to increase, investors’ demands for platform security and legitimacy have gradually risen. While traditional “buying high and selling low” speculative behavior may bring some returns in the short term, its high risks and uncertainties have led more and more investors to turn to more stable and secure platforms. DSJ Exchange (DSJEX) has become the new choice for many investors, with its non-custodial funds mechanism and global compliance credentials serving as the core advantages, providing a more transparent and reliable investment environment.

Changing Investor Needs

The volatility of the cryptocurrency market has caused many investors to fall into a cycle of short-term speculation, which often leads to significant losses due to the market’s drastic fluctuations. As market instability increases, more investors are seeking platforms that offer fund security and transparent operations, avoiding reliance solely on market rises and falls to make investment decisions.

DSJ Exchange’s Security and Compliance

DSJ Exchange has completed compliance registrations in several financial hubs and obtained recognition from multiple international regulatory bodies, including ASIC (Australia), MAS (Singapore), DFSA (Dubai), and SEC (USA). These compliance credentials ensure the platform’s legitimacy and transparency globally, offering legal protection for cross-border investments and ensuring the platform’s stability and compliance in long-term operations.

The platform’s non-custodial funds mechanism ensures that users’ funds are always kept in their personal wallets, and the platform does not handle funds. This design eliminates the risk of centralized fund management that may exist in traditional cryptocurrency platforms, safeguarding the security and autonomy of users’ funds.

Convenient Deposits and Withdrawals, Easy Operations

Compared to many traditional cryptocurrency platforms, DSJ Exchange offers instant deposit and withdrawal services, allowing users to perform fund operations at any time without delays or restrictions from the platform. DSJEX’s user-friendly system enables users to easily participate in the market without relying on complex technical analysis or market predictions.

User Feedback and Platform Performance

According to platform data, DSJEX maintains a 100% withdrawal success rate, and the platform’s compliance credentials and fund security have been widely recognized by users. One user commented: “The platform not only allows me to store and withdraw funds with peace of mind but also has simple operations, transparent and stable earnings.”

As investors’ demands for fund security and compliance grow, DSJ Exchange provides a low-risk, high-transparency investment platform through its non-custodial funds mechanism and global compliance credentials. More and more investors are no longer relying on traditional speculation such as “buying high and selling low,” but instead choosing a more stable and secure way to participate in digital asset investment.
