Explore the options for writing a script to fetch data and insert it into the couchDB instance. Looking into writing a bash script to do it.

One thought is to use js to grab the pokedex and then loop over each Mon in the list and pass json to php to save json file in a directory. Then repeat process for things like moves, abilities, etc. saving each set as json files. Then, run a bash script to loop through all the .json files in the directory and insert them into couch db.
