Feature Request: Pokemon Endpoint? #80

Closed cssagogo closed 5 years ago

cssagogo commented 6 years ago

Would be cool to have a /pokemon endpoint that returned a list of unique pokemon names including their national pokedex number. Bonus points for returning the rest of the pokedex info as well...

https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/pikachu

I could then call this to generate a list of pokemon by pokedex number and click through to view all the cards for that pokemon.

I feel as if this is outside the scope of this API since it focuses on the Trading Card Game aspect of Pokémon. You can already search by name or nationalPokedexNumber to retrieve the cards of a specific Pokémon and you would probably be better off using an API like https://pokeapi.co/ to retrieve the Pokedex information.

I agree that providing pokemon information is not within the scope of this API.
