enhancement: Plans for Chinese simplified cards?

[littlejedi]

Data affected

• Card
• Set
• Serie
• Other
• new Data Type

Please explain in more details what idea you have

Hi maintainers of this repo,
This repo is awesome and I love the idea of other people contributing to a unified database together, however I currently don't see any Chinese simplified card data here. They started releasing cards from Sun & Moon and now they caught up to Scarlet and Violet. The tricky part is that sometimes they merge 2 - 3 sets into one set in China.

The data in the current repo labeled simplified chinese cards ("zh-cn") seem to be only simplified chinese translation of the cards, and do not reflect the real cards on the market.

Would there be any plans to add these cards? Thank you

Hi, they should be mostly available in the zh-cn language code

[littlejedi]

Hi, like I mentioned, the data in zh-cn are merely simplified chinese translations of the cards in Taiwan/Hong Kong market, not the actual cards released in mainland China.

[Aviortheking]

oh, then the problem is with the source.

We are using https://asia.pokemon-card.com/hk/ as the main data source for zh-cn, are they using incorrect datas ? (I don't have the best knowledge of Chinese)

If that's the case, I will try to fetch them from the URL you gave earlier in this convo

Hi @Aviortheking , yes, if you check my link, it contains all Simplified Chinese cards available in the mainland China. In this page: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_Trading_Card_Game_expansions_in_other_languages#Simplified_Chinese_Catch-up_sets. It's referred as catchup sets.

The link you provided is still cards from Traditional Chinese market (Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc)

Ok, thanks for the infos, I'll update everything when I have time !
