How can I get all Alola pokémon including alolan forms?

[thechief389]

I'm working on a command-line Pokémon Sun and Moon game and I'm trying to figure out how to get the alola id and name of all the Pokémon in alola. The entry for the Alolan Raichu has the id 10100 and the name is "raichu-alola", rather than 26 and "raichu".(It would be very confusing for two entries to have the same name)

How can I get the alola id and the species name of all the pokemon?

That doesn’t have the original name or Id though.

[thechief389]

It has the species name though.

You can query it even by name

Are sprites for alolan forms going to be available at any point? They currently return as null.

[Naramsim]

Probably not, not soon

I see that some of the sprites are available and even in the repo, what needs to be done to get that in the right spots?

[Naramsim]

Restart the server with all the sprites in the correct location. Anyway, it is recommended to clone this repo locally and serve by yourself the sprites

To get all the pokemon species of generation7 use https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/generation/7/ .pokemon_species

To get all the pokemon species of the updated alola pokedex use https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokedex/21/ .pokemon_entries

Then for each pokemon you should see if they have an alolan form
