This is a demo of filtering a list without using any Javascript — it's all HTML and CSS! (You might notice that it's pretty speedy)
This is a list of Gen 1 Pokémon, which can be filtered by their primary type. There's no technical reason that it has to be limited to filtering by primary type, I'm just lazy.
Enjoy!

| Weedle | Bīdoru (ビードル) | 13 | Bug | Poison | Beginning of evolution | Kakuna (#014) | Its stinger is poisonous, so if it finds itself against a foe, it can protect itself for a while. It is considered an alternative version of Caterpie's evolution line. |

| Pidgey | Poppo (ポッポ) | 16 | Normal | Flying | Beginning of evolution | Pidgeotto (#017) | Pidgey is the common bird of Kanto that will go after bug Pokémon until they scurry away.

| Pidgeot | Pijotto (ピジョット) | 18 | Normal | Flying | Pidgeotto (#017) | Mega Evolution | Most trainers choose Pidgeot as their Pokémon due to their striking, beautiful feathers. Pidgeots tend to be very large in size. |
| Rattata | Koratta (コラッタ) | 19 | Normal | Beginning of evolution | Raticate (#020) | It was criticised as a "filthy rodent" by GamesRadar and "rubbish" by the Official Nintendo Magazine.

| Raticate | Ratta (ラッタ) | 20 | Normal | Rattata (#019) | End of evolution | Raticate is a rodent that commands groups of Rattatas to get them food.

| Spearow | Onisuzume (オニスズメ) | 21 | Normal | Flying | Beginning of evolution | Fearow (#022) | It eats bugs in grassy areas and has to flap its short wings at high-speed to stay airborne. Spearows are said to have short temperaments, and tend to swarm perceived enemies in large flocks. It is an alternative version of Pidgey and sometimes considered a rival to it.

The pattern on its chest is different everywhere. It is hard to escape from its coil, because its muscles are so strong, it can crush a steel drum by constricting it. Even though its name is Arbok, what it pronounces is "Char-bok". Its English name is "kobra" (which is pronounced the same as "cobra") spelled backwards. In the Generation I beta, its name was "Nagaasp". | |
| Pikachu | Pikachū (ピカチュウ) | 25 | Electric | Pichu (#172) | Raichu (#026) Gigantamax |
Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, as well as Pokémon Yellow and Let's Go, Pikachu!. It is also playable in every Super Smash Bros. game. Its Gigantamax form looks like its old sprite from Red and Blue with a glowing, whitish tail. It raises its tail to check its surroundings and it sometimes gets struck by lightning in that pose. If Pikachu sees something new, it will shock it with electricity. When you will see blackened marks on the ground, you will find out that Pikachu had mistook its electrical power. | |
| Raichu | Raichū (ライチュウ) | 26 | Electric | Pikachu (#025) | End of evolution | It is primarily orange and has a lightning bolt at the end of its tail. It can store over 100,000 volts of electricity.

Dexerto magazine wrote that Raichu will "never be forgotten due to its close ties to Pikachu" but will always be "stuck playing second fiddle" to the series' mascot. Raichu has received generally positive reception. It was also included as part of a Burger King Big Kids' Meal promotion. The Chicago Sun-Times called Raichu an "old favorite." Loredana Lipperini, author of the book Generazione Pókemon: i bambini e l'invasione planetaria dei nuovi, commented that Raichu was not as hugely popular as Pikachu. Ryan Omega, author of Anime trivia quizbook, commented that Raichu "isn't that cute" and that this is why Ash did not want to evolve his Pikachu. Pierre Bruno, author of La culture de l'enfance à l'heure de la mondialisation, compared the battle between Lt. Surge's Raichu and Ash's Pikachu to the Biblical story David and Goliath. IGN editor "Pokémon of the Day Chick" noted that Raichu was "loved by many and despised by more," though she clarified that the hatred for Raichu was nowhere near the hatred for Pikachu. She went on to describe it as “stupid-looking.” GamesRadar editor Brett Elston commented that because of the high level of emphasis on Pikachu, it's “easy to forget Raichu even exists.” | |

| Nidorina | Nidorīna (ニドリーナ) | 30 | Poison | Nidoran♀ (#029) | Nidoqueen (#031) | When it is with its friends and family, it doesn't have its toxic horn out. As soon as danger appears, it is ready to fight. | |

The Jigglypuff that appears in the anime frequently appears as a running gag where it always tries to sing for an audience but forgets that it puts everyone to sleep. When this happens, it uses the marker that is part of the microphone to draw silly faces on people. This is because its vocal cords can be used at a range for putting people to sleep. |
| Wigglytuff | Pukurin (プクリン) | 40 | Normal | Fairy | Jigglypuff (#039) | End of evolution | It doesn't care if its large eyes get dust or dirt in them due to its eyes being covered in a thin layer of fluid. It tends to be more short-tempered and more aggressive than Jigglypuff. |
| Zubat | Zubatto (ズバット) | 41 | Poison | Flying | Beginning of evolution | Golbat (#042) | It uses echolocation, because it has no eyes.

| Vileplume | Rafureshia (ラフレシア) | 45 | Grass | Poison | Gloom (#044) | End of evolution | Tour-guides always say not to go up to any flower in the jungle, no matter how beautiful is because of a reason that it might just be a Vileplume which can spread toxic spores that will leave you sick for days.

| Paras | Parasu (パラス) | 46 | Bug | Grass | Beginning of evolution | Parasect (#047) | Paras is a Bug-type Pokémon that is the host to a parasitic mushroom.
