# Bulbapedia Pokemon Name Webscraper 

This Python script is designed to scrape Pokémon numbers and names from Bulbapedia.

## Why This Project?

After discovering that the [pokemon npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pokemon) package was missing some of the Generation 9 Pokémon, and finding myself with a spare afternoon, I decided to create a simple scraper to pull this data directly from Bulbapedia. This was partly for fun, and partly to fulfill a personal need for the most up-to-date Pokémon data. 😄

## Requirements

Before you can run this script, you will need to have Python installed on your system along with a couple of Python libraries:

- BeautifulSoup4

- requests

You can install these libraries using pip:

```

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

```

## Usage

- Download or clone this repository.

- Navigate to the directory containing the script.

- Run the script using Python:

```

python3 pokemon_scraper.py

```

## Output

The output JSON file will have the following format:

```json

{

    // Scraping Hangul names

    "1": "이상해씨",

    "2": "이상해풀",

    // continues...

}

```

Where the keys are the Pokémon numbers (as integers), and the values are the corresponding Hangul names.
