Location Area data for generation 7 and onwards

[totalaj]

Hi! I'm making an application using PokeAPI and so far it has been great, but I have noticed that locations in generation 7 and onwards don't have areas! Is this intentional, or am I missing something. If the data can be found somewhere else, I would love to know where. Cheers!

Edit: What I'm really looking for is pokemon encounters for those games. "Areas" specifically are not needed, but that's how I've gotten the encounters for the other gens.

Hello, most probably we lack the data. We would need to scrape it from somewhere and load it into our CSVs.

Would you be able to help us?

Absolutely, I'd love to! I could scrape Bulbapedia or something else for areas and encounters. I would need an example for how to format the CSV. Do y'all have a pipeline defined for how to do this?

There's no fixed pipeline. I think first you need to understand the data. https://github.com/PokeAPI/pokeapi/tree/master/data/v2/csv here there's many CSVs, you could take a look at the location_* ones. they are all interconnected with and ID system.
