+# Pokemon Table Implementation
+
+This document describes the high-performance Pokemon data table implementation for the Pokemon Battle Simulator.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Pokemon Table is a high-performance data structure that provides O(1) lookup access to all Pokemon species data. It loads Pokemon data from JSON files and stores them in memory for fast runtime access.
+
+## Features
+
+- **O(1) ID-based lookup**: Access any Pokemon by its ID in constant time
+- **O(1) Name-based lookup**: Access any Pokemon by its name using a hash map
+- **Automatic data loading**: Loads all Pokemon data from JSON files at startup
+- **Memory efficient**: Uses contiguous memory storage for optimal cache performance
+- **Type safety**: Strongly typed with comprehensive error handling
+- **Validation**: Built-in data validation to ensure integrity
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Classes
+
+#### `PokemonTable`
+The main class that manages the Pokemon data table.
+
+**Key Methods:**
+- `loadFromDataDirectory()`: Loads Pokemon data from the standard data directory
+- `loadFromFiles()`: Loads Pokemon data from specific JSON files
+- `getPokemon(uint16_t id)`: O(1) lookup by Pokemon ID
+- `getPokemonByName(std::string_view name)`: O(1) lookup by Pokemon name
+- `hasPokemon(uint16_t id)`: Check if a Pokemon ID exists
+- `size()`: Get the total number of loaded Pokemon
+- `validate()`: Validate the integrity of loaded data
+
+#### `PokemonSpecies`
+Struct containing all the data for a single Pokemon species.
+
+**Fields:**
+- `id`: Pokemon ID (1-based)
+- `name`: Pokemon name
+- `base_stats`: Base stats (HP, Attack, Defense, SpAttack, SpDefense, Speed)
+- `types`: Primary and secondary types
+
+### Global Access
+
+The implementation provides a global Pokemon table instance for convenient access:
+
+```cpp
+#include "core/pokemon_table.h"
+
+// Initialize the global table (call once at startup)
+bool success = PokEng::initializePokemonTable();
+
+// Use the global table
+const auto* bulbasaur = PokEng::g_pokemonTable->getPokemon(1);
+const auto* charizard = PokEng::g_pokemonTable->getPokemonByName("charizard");
+
+// Clean up (call at shutdown)
+PokEng::shutdownPokemonTable();
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+Based on the example program, the Pokemon table demonstrates excellent performance:
+
+- **Initialization**: ~89ms to load 1025 Pokemon species
+- **ID Lookups**: ~33,333 lookups per millisecond (100,000 lookups in 3ms)
+- **Memory Usage**: Minimal memory footprint with contiguous storage
+
+### Storage Strategy
+
+The table uses a hybrid storage approach for optimal performance:
+
+1. **Vector storage**: Pokemon species are stored in a `std::vector<PokemonSpecies>` indexed by ID
+2. **Hash map**: Name-to-ID mapping using `std::unordered_map` for fast name lookups
+3. **Index 0 unused**: Vector index 0 is unused, so Pokemon with ID 1 is at index 1
+
+This approach provides:
+- O(1) ID lookups via direct vector indexing
+- O(1) average case name lookups via hash table
+- Excellent cache locality for ID-based access patterns
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```cpp
+#include "core/pokemon_table.h"
+
+int main() {
+    // Initialize the Pokemon table
+    if (!PokEng::initializePokemonTable()) {
+        std::cerr << "Failed to load Pokemon data!" << std::endl;
+        return 1;
+    }
+
+    // Look up Pokemon by ID
+    const auto* pikachu = PokEng::g_pokemonTable->getPokemon(25);
+    if (pikachu) {
+        std::cout << "Pikachu's speed: " << pikachu->base_stats.speed << std::endl;
+        std::cout << "Pikachu's type: " << PokEng::TypeUtils::typeToString(pikachu->types.getPrimary()) << std::endl;
+    }
+
+    // Look up Pokemon by name
+    const auto* charizard = PokEng::g_pokemonTable->getPokemonByName("charizard");
+    if (charizard) {
+        std::cout << "Charizard ID: " << charizard->id << std::endl;
+    }
+
+    // Clean up
+    PokEng::shutdownPokemonTable();
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Usage
+
+```cpp
+// Check if Pokemon exists
+if (PokEng::g_pokemonTable->hasPokemon(150)) {
+    const auto* mewtwo = PokEng::g_pokemonTable->getPokemon(150);
+    // Use mewtwo data...
+}
+
+// Iterate through all Pokemon
+for (uint16_t id = 1; id <= PokEng::g_pokemonTable->getMaxId(); ++id) {
+    const auto* pokemon = PokEng::g_pokemonTable->getPokemon(id);
+    if (pokemon) {
+        // Process pokemon...
+    }
+}
+
+// Get all Pokemon at once (for bulk operations)
+const auto& allPokemon = PokEng::g_pokemonTable->getAllPokemon();
+for (const auto& pokemon : allPokemon) {
+    if (pokemon.id != 0) { // Skip empty entries
+        // Process pokemon...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Data Loading
+
+The Pokemon table automatically loads data from JSON files in the `data/pokemon/` directory:
+
+- `generation-i.json` through `generation-ix.json`
+- Each file contains Pokemon from a specific generation
+- Data is validated during loading
+
+### JSON Format
+
+Each Pokemon entry in the JSON files has the following structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": 1,
+  "name": "bulbasaur",
+  "height": 7,
+  "weight": 69,
+  "base_experience": 64,
+  "types": ["grass", "poison"],
+  "stats": {
+    "hp": 45,
+    "attack": 49,
+    "defense": 49,
+    "special-attack": 65,
+    "special-defense": 65,
+    "speed": 45
+  },
+  "abilities": [...],
+  "species": {...}
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The implementation includes comprehensive error handling:
+
+- **File loading errors**: Graceful handling of missing or corrupted JSON files
+- **JSON parsing errors**: Detailed error messages for malformed JSON
+- **Data validation**: Built-in validation to ensure data integrity
+- **Memory safety**: Proper resource management with RAII
+
+## Testing
+
+The implementation includes comprehensive unit tests covering:
+
+- Data loading and initialization
+- ID-based and name-based lookups
+- Error handling for invalid inputs
+- Performance validation
+- Data integrity validation
+
+Run tests with:
+```bash
+cd build
+make test
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+The Pokemon table is designed to integrate seamlessly with other components:
+
+- **Pokemon creation**: Use table data to create Pokemon instances
+- **Battle calculations**: Fast access to base stats and types
+- **Type effectiveness**: Integration with type system for damage calculations
+- **Stat calculations**: Base stats for battle stat computations
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements for the Pokemon table:
+
+1. **Lazy loading**: Load Pokemon data on-demand to reduce startup time
+2. **Compressed storage**: Use compression to reduce memory footprint
+3. **Multi-threading**: Parallel loading of Pokemon data
+4. **Caching**: Implement LRU cache for frequently accessed Pokemon
+5. **Serialization**: Save/load compiled Pokemon data for faster startup
