QueueDex Alpha

What comes next.

QueueDex will grow in stages: first by improving the historical record with the community, then by expanding the analysis, and only then by exploring prediction models built on reliable evidence.

i

This is a direction, not a deadline. Priorities may change as the community uses QueueDex and the quality of the underlying data improves.

01
Next

Community reports & corrections

Build trust

Make it easier for collectors to improve the archive with better evidence, missing timings and corrections.

  • Submit missing drops, timings and corrections
  • Attach supporting evidence or source details
  • Review submissions before changing the public record
  • Update reliability as stronger evidence is received
  • Show a transparent history of meaningful corrections
OutcomeA stronger community-maintained historical record.
02
Planned

More analysis, charts & comparisons

Find patterns

Turn the growing archive into clearer comparisons without hiding uncertainty or overstating the data.

  • Time in Stock distributions and trends
  • Compare product types, sets, preorders and restocks
  • Queue-start and product-drop timing charts
  • Reliability-aware analysis and sample sizes
  • More ways to explore individual products and sets
  • Expand set announcement → Pokémon Center preorder timelines
  • Expand preorder drop → official release date timelines
  • Median and mode days between announcement, pre-order and release
Future analysis module

Set release timeline analysis

Track how long it usually takes for a new set to move from announcement to Pokémon Center pre-order, then from pre-order to official release.

OutcomeMore useful ways to interpret the historical evidence, including the journey from set announcement to release.
03
Future

Prediction models

Look ahead

Explore responsible forecasting only when the reliable dataset is strong enough to support it.

  • Estimated queue and product-drop windows
  • Predictions built from eligible historical data
  • Clear sample sizes, confidence and limitations
  • Separate preorder and restock behaviour
  • No fabricated certainty or unexplained probabilities
OutcomeTransparent guidance that supports decisions without pretending to know the future.
Guiding principles

Evidence before prediction.

01

Community first

Collectors help strengthen the record, not just consume it.

02

Reliability stays visible

Uncertainty should be explained rather than hidden.

03

No false precision

Analysis and future models should only claim what the evidence supports.
