Anki Pokemon flashcards generator

Context

Wanting to learn the Pokedex using flashcards on Anki I haven’t found decks which were convenient for my usage therefore I created a handy script that scrap Pokemon pictures and then format a csv file which is easily importable into Anki.

Procedure and usage

This script will download every Pokedex entry for a given generation. It scraps Pokemon Trash website which only contains entries from 1st to 7th generation but contains good quality Pokemon PNG pictures. Then, strings are formatted and written to a csv file that you’d then import into Anki.

Warning

Based on its nature, scrapping is not guaranteed to work in the future. Also, this script retrieves french Pokemon names.

usage: pokemons_to_anki.py [-h] -g GENERATION [-p IMAGES_PATH] [-f FILENAME]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -g GENERATION, --generation GENERATION
                        <int> Generation to retrieve <1-7>
  -p IMAGES_PATH, --images-path IMAGES_PATH
                        Where to store Pokemons pictures, default to ./Pictures
  -f FILENAME, --filename FILENAME
                        Name of CSV produced in output, default to output.csv
