Fill in encounter data for games that currently have null/stub seed files. These games are not covered by PokeAPI and require manual curation or an alternative data source.
## Games with null/stub data:
- [ ] Sword (null)
- [ ] Shield (null)
- [ ] Brilliant Diamond (null)
- [ ] Shining Pearl (null)
- [ ] Scarlet (null)
- [ ] Violet (null)
- [ ] Legends Arceus (null)
## Format requirements:
Each game's JSON file must follow the existing structure:
\`\`\`json
[
{
"name": "Route Name",
"order": 1,
"encounters": [
{
"pokeapi_id": 25,
"pokemon_name": "pikachu",
"method": "walk",
"encounter_rate": 10,
"min_level": 5,
"max_level": 8
}
],
"children": []
}
]
\`\`\`
## Notes:
- This is likely the largest manual task unless the "explore automated sources" task finds a viable alternative
- Depends on findings from the automated data sources task — if automation is viable, this becomes much easier
- Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet use open-world/Wild Area mechanics that may need special handling
- Legends Arceus has a fundamentally different encounter system (overworld encounters, alpha Pokémon, space-time distortions)
- BD/SP are remakes of Diamond/Pearl — existing D/P data could serve as a starting point
