dexProject (working title)

[Toxin_X]

Hello! I'd like help making a complete open source database for every gen. It will be similar to Scryfall, letting users do advanced searches on pokemon: 

Some of the reasons are 

1. Researching and completing a living form dex. 
2. Finding egg move chains
3. Checking legality 
4. Finding specific pokemon to fill out your team

Main features:

• Pokemon data for every mainline game
•  Moves for every mainline game
•  Item data for every mainline game
•  Abilities for every mainline game
•  Pokemon locations for every mainline game
•  Item locations for every mainline game

Wishlist:

•  Event pokemon by mainline game
•  Side game data
•  Trainer teams
•  Other localizations for older games 
•  Competition stats (beauty, pokeathalon, etc)
•  Calculators

 

How I’d like help:

•  Creating/getting data for each game
•  Designing the database 
•  Writing parsing code that is easy to understand and not spaghetti

 

So far I've been using python to parse pokered, however I also know Java, C#, and JavaScript as well as SQL and am willing to learn others. 

There are similar tools such as pokeapi and pokemondb, but they are incomplete, lack distinction between games and gens, making it difficult to see what Pokémon can get what moves in what games etc, or are closed source making it hard to easily manipulate the tables.

Thanks!
