Add Pokedex Entries for Pokemon Formes

Open supermii2 opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Some Pokemon with multiple forms have different Pokedex entries for each form.

E.g. Sandshrew Alola has the following in Sun. "It lives on snowy mountains. Its steel shell is very hard—so much so, it can't roll its body up into a ball. "

Currently, to my knowledge (forgive me if I'm wrong), only pokedex entries for the base form are available, under pokemon-species. It would be nice to be able to find these pokedex entries for different forms too

Support

Should also include Names for the Formes. Eternamax Eternatus is like Endynamax Endynalos in german

As of now there isn't really a place to put descriptions of other forms as the only place where forms are mentioned is in the pokemon-species endpoint which contains descriptions of the original or base form so most likely place to put a description form wise would now be in the pokemon endpoint I suppose.

I agree with this. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether it the existing entries in pokemon-species should be removed.

Well i think it would be nice to ping one of the maintainer's to ask for their opinions if they give a go ahead flag we can work on a pr shifting the desc to pokemon endpoint
