Description
PokeAPI has decided to take a temporary shift from https://github.com/veekun/pokedex and thus to allow the community to add the new generation 8 data.
The process to add new data consists as follows:
- Decide which new data you want to bring in.
- Look up here how this data is structured in our CSV files
- Add the new data manually or by using a script and documenting where did you get those pieces of data, read also this document.
- Open 2 Pull Requests
- Towards https://github.com/PokeAPI/pokedex with only the CSV data and the scripts you used to gather it
- Here with the new data and any changes to our API logic to make it work.
Sources that might be used for scraping/checking new generation 8 data are:
- Bulbapedia
- Serebii
- PokemonDB
- Pokemon.com
- Pokemon ROMs dump files
