Pokeapi: Mothim doesnt have any forms.

[LuziferSenpai]

Hey,

I just found out that, mothim doesnt have the forms of the base pokemon, so why are there 2 listed?

It would be nice if they get removed.

Those forms are present in Pokemon Go, not sure if they should be in this repository.

[LuziferSenpai]

They are not. I just looked it up and I dont find any entry to this. Only the female version has forms, not the male version.

This is a full RESTful API linked to an extensive database detailing everything about the Pokémon main game series.

Not sure if this helps make the decision (and I know things have changed since 2013) but the original scope of this service was just the main game series.

Is Meltan part of this API? That might have already made the decision for us.

Meltan is a pokemon from the main series since gen 8, its final evolution even has a gmax form ;)

I don't know. Maybe it's better to remove those. I need to check out how they got in, anyway.

[C-Garza]

They were added to the pokemon_forms.csv in this commit at Veekun and then this repo was updated in this commit.

[Naramsim]

Thanks for the blame @C-Garza :smile: haha

If it's data coming directly from veekun I'd leave it here as well.

I just checked and the lines are still present. So we keep them.

Huhh. Interesting. Are the other two forms identical? I wouldn't be opposed to getting rid of them. I feel like we've done that in the past. Similarly with Scatterbug and Spewpa.

Hi Magical :) Good to see you :)

If you delete them, then we will do the same :) Just do it before merging that huge PR I'm seeing these days :smile:. That will be a pain here at PokeAPI

[magical]

Ha, well, if we do delete them it'll be after veekun/pokedex#327 is merged. (I don't want to create a bunch of unnecessary merge conflicts! 😅)
