Chimecho does not have gender differences; its Platinum and HG/SS second-
frame female backsprites have one hand posed a little differently, but
no actual design differences.
Torchic does count even though the only difference is a single-pixel dark
speck on the male's rear; the speck was carried over into B/W even though
the backsprites were entirely redone, so I'm guessing it either was
deliberate or has ascended into canon via "let's throw it in anyway."
The step counts we had weren't even good estimates. To hatch an egg
uninterrupted takes (counter + 1) * 255 steps in gen IV; what we had
was counter * 256.
Phione and Manaphy have different counters, as do Croagunk and Toxicroak
for some reason, so they're associated with individual Pokémon now,
rather than entire evolution chains. Double-checked with Pearl,
Platinum, and SoulSilver; there were no differences between the three,
aside from the alternate forms introduced in Platinum.
Every flavor page should work with no missing sprites. Save perhaps for
Unown, because I honestly don't have them.
Every sprite exists as ###-form.png. There is also still a ###.png,
containing a reasonable default form, so people who don't give a crap
about this mess can just use the numbered sprites. Beta forms should
now all be ###-beta.png.
Form groups now have a notion of "in-battle", which is used to hide
overworld sprites when appropriate.
Form sprites have a first-class sense of being a default or not, too.
Deoxys is... well, let's not talk about Deoxys. Deoxys is fixed.
Only the version group a forme actually exists in now has any moves for
that forme.
In addition, Deoxys formes were not showing any gen 3 moves at all
previously, because they were marked as only existing in gen 4. This
has been fixed.
Curse's type_id was 0, which is bogus; this has been fixed by creating a
real ????? type.
Fourth-gen moves all had zero as a contest effect id, which was also
bogus.
Pokémon 494 and 495 were junk and have been scrapped entirely.
pokemon_form_groups's description column was too short.
pokedex's connect() now takes kwargs passed to sessionmaker().
A more major change: some tables, like pokemon, are self-referential and
contain rows that refer to rows later in the table (for example, Pikachu
evolves from Pichu, which has a higher id). At the moment such a row is
loaded, the foreign key is thus bogus. I solved this by turning on
autocommit and wrapping add() in a try block, then attempting to readd
every failed row again after the rest of the table is finished. Slows
the import down a bit, but makes it work perfectly with foreign key
checks on.
Types, abilities, egg groups, and stats for Shaymin, Giratina, and Rotom forms.
Updated height and weight for Shaymin and Giratina forms.
Added Giratina's form descriptions and updated Shaymin's to mention link
battles and freezing.
