Spots: it might seem like they should be conditions, but in practice
they behave more like methods. Specifically, conditions typically make
only minor changes to an encounter list. Spots change everything.
So spots are added as methods, with each type of spot as a separate
method. Not exactly ideal, but this causes the least fuss.
Seasons work fine as conditions.
Well, as well as time-of-day.
As per http://bugs.veekun.com/projects/pokedex/wiki/Identifiers?version=3.
- The following tables were handled in commit "2090e34 Move English
texts to language-specific tables": berry_firmness, item_categories,
move_battle_styles, move_damage_classes, move_effect_categories,
pokeathlon_stats, pokemon_colors, pokemon_habitats, regions, types,
versions.
- These tables are skipped, pending further discussion:
generations, growth_rates, move_targets, stats.
- Deviations from the wiki:
- egg_groups: 'no-eggs' is not changed to 'noeggs'
- encounter_terrains: the 'old-rod' alternative is used.
- types: 'unknown' is not changed to '???'
- pokemon_move_methods:
- 'level-up' is not changed to 'level'
- 'colosseum-purification' and 'xd-purification' are left alone,
because colosseum and xd have not yet been added as versions.
- 'xd-shadow' is left alone for consistency with 'xd-purificaiton'.
Conditions are now condition values; condition groups are conditions.
Types are now terrain. Slots are first-class things.
Encounters' condition values and slots' conditions have been broken off
into their own tables, as HG/SS has several slots affected by multiple
conditions.
Finally! Location order is the same as from the old dex, which was
something like the game but ultimately arbitrary, so it's not any better
now.
This takes a very different approach to storage, rather than copying the
game exactly and trying to fix everything in code. Comments coming
shortly so other people can actually make use of this.
