Thanks! |

A PokeAPI/api-data refresh has started. In ~45 minutes the staging branch of PokeAPI/api-data will be pushed with the new generated data. |

@Lafoxnir I might have merged a bit to early. But I think it's ok. The letters for the Dens are language specific I think. So if someone is playing in English they might see a letter A and for the same location a french player might see D, am I right? If this is what the game presents to the user then we are good to go with this PR. Else, if those letters are came up with by the creators of Bulbapedia/Pokepedia then I'm unsure about what to do. I'd me more inclined to have the names consistent, but then the French players relying on pokepedia will be lost , right? |

The updater script has finished its job and has now opened a Pull Request towards PokeAPI/api-data with the updated data. |

@Naramsim Yes that's right, the letters are language specific and there does not seem to be an official naming convention, nothing in name For the French letters, it seems to be (per zone) from the north-western corner to the south-earthern corner of each map while scanning the map horizontally. We also have numbers (https://www.pokepedia.fr/Antre_1) that seem to correspond to Serebii numbers (https://www.serebii.net/swordshield/maxraidbattles/den1.shtml) but I don't know where these numbers come from I can't seem to understand the naming convention from Bulbapedia but maybe it is following the Serebii numbers in ascending order for each zone? |

We could then create our numbering convention so to make things even more difficult 🤩. Jokes apart I think there's no solution here since we don't even host a map where to see those letters. I'd use a single numbering system and I'm leaning towards the easier to understand, maybe even adding a description in the docs. I wouldn't like to link the map hosted at Bulbapedia so, as the French wiki is doing, from the top left to the bottom right seems understandable enough? Or maybe Bulbapedia and all the other English wikis use the same different ordering system and users will be left puzzled? @jemarq04 what do you think? |
Change description
Added new french translations for encouter methods and location names. Almost everything is done up to Sword and Shield, which are a little harder to translate because of max dens (see below).
I also fixed some typos in the locations and added missing english encouter methods (which means they all have an entry in encounter_method_prose.csv)

So the two solutions I see are :
