Location Data for Gen VII missing #230

Closed ahester57 closed 5 years ago

ahester57 commented 6 years ago

Locations in Alola are missing. Therefore the Pokemon which evolve in a certain location (such as vikavolt and crabominable) do not have any evolution information available. When adding Alolan locations, do not forget to add location_id to the Gen 7 PokemonEvolution table.

I would consider parsing/importing all missing data from the PKHex project...

This is the current status of the data mining:

Encounters are particularly thorny. The data is simple enough: for each map, there’s a list of Pokémon that can be encountered by various methods (e.g. walking in grass, fishing, surfing). But each of those Pokémon appears at a different rate, and those rates are somewhere in the code, not in the data. And there are some weird cases like swarms, which have special rules. And there are unique encounters that aren’t listed in this data at all, and which veekun has thus never had. And how do you even figure out where a map is anyway, when a named place can span multiple maps, and the encounters are only very slightly different in each map? (I’m told this has gotten a lot more data-oriented in Sun and Moon, but I haven’t dug into it yet myself.)
