Corrected en-us growth rate names #358

Open DDriggs00 opened 2 years ago

DDriggs00 commented 2 years ago

Previously, the names for the erratic and fluctuating en-us growth rates were listed incorrectly.

Note that Language id 6 (German) also needs corrected by someone who speaks German.

Are Erratic/Fluctuating the official names now? If not, I'd prefer to stick with the current names, which are more descriptive.

It's fine that the prose name differs from the identifier.

DDriggs00 commented 2 years ago

I can't confirm that it follows these naming conventions in game, simply because I've never seen growth rates directly named in game, but I am fairly certain that Fluctuating/Erratic are correct because Serebii, Bulbepedia, and PokemonDB all use this term, as well as when language_id 5 was added, it uses Fluctuating/Erratic.

I don't think there have ever been official names for experience groups. There might be some in the leaked source code, but I assume this repo would prefer not to rely on those leaks.

Regardless of whether we go with erratic/fluctuating or "slow then very fast"/"fast then very slow", a change will be needed, as currently, both are used, depending on the language.
