Generation 9 data

[wavebeem]

FYI it looks like Pokémon Database has a bunch of Generation 9 data in a table that would be easy to parse

https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/stats/gen9

I'm planning on updating pkmn.help with this data as supplemental to PokéAPI, until Gen 9 data is available here.

Hi @wavebeem, we currently don't have a team that updates the data. We do it if we have some free time or we rely on contributors. We have some scripts that pull data from Bulbapedia, but non from pokemondb. We will see :)

Is anyone still working on this?

I reached out with questions about updating the scripts, but I didn't get a response. Would love to update them myself, but I've never worked in Go so I'd rather work collaboratively with someone who understands the language better than myself.

Still would love to help though.

Hi @Piaomu , I’m not part of the project but I’m interested in it too and would like to see if I can help it.
Problem is that I have no real competences on python or database languages, we will see x’)

The webscraper for gen 8 data was written in Go. I understand how it (mostly) works, but there are a few input/output things I'm a little hung up on. I honestly don't think it'll take much time to update if we had a little guidance on how it works. It's not too deep. Definitely would be willing to get together to work on it though. It'll be nice to have gen 9 data available on a public-facing endpoint.

I actually don't understand what is missing yet in the 9G datas, doesn't #783 and #778 handle most of the data ? There is also several pull requests awaiting reviews.

It seems to me that the current need is in someone willing to be part of the PokeAPI organisation, with enough view of the project to verify and, provide support and accept merge requests 🤔
(I know there is someone active there, but it don't seems to be enough / the person would probably enjoy the help)

Hi, yesterday I deployed some of the new gen9 data
