Gen 7 National Dex

[mrpsyduck]

Although getting a complete National Dex in Gen 7 is still not quite legal, with Pokémon Bank right around the corner, I would recommend allowing users to create Gen 7 living dexes with the National Dex.

definitely! we've planned to do this since we released the feature and will support this as soon as pokebank is released.

Goals

• zero-downtime deployments of all changes
• allow support for a gen 7 national dex including alolan forms
• continue to support editing to and from any other kind of dex

Implementation

Backend

• [x] allow national when creating/editing a dex for gen 7 but not gen 6
• [x] migration
  • add nullable form, national_order, box, id to pokemon
  • populate id with auto-incrementing int
  • change all foreign keys to look at pokemon.id
  • change primary key from national_id to id
  • allow ice as stone
• [x] change most lookups from national_id to id
• [x] once ready, add alolan forms to pokemon and evolutions (making sure that nothing breaks)
• [x] migrate captures to alolan forms if gen 7 dex (making sure nothing breaks)
• [x] clear out alola_id for pokemon with alolan forms (so they aren't shown twice on regional dex)

Frontend

• [x] update register form
• [x] update create form
• [x] update edit form (w/ warnings)
• [x] make sure that the region filter is correct
• [x] add regional/national label
• [x] update box filtering to use box and national_order
• [x] change all uses of national_id with id
• [x] use form for sprites
• [x] clear pokemon cache when navigating to tracker
