PokeAPI
Flavor Text for Scarlet/Violet and Mega Evolutions
I've noticed that the Pokédex entries (or flavor text as it is known) are missing for Pokémon from previous generations that have entries in the Pokédexes in Scarlet and Violet. (And possibly Legends: Arceus, but that might just be an id-10t error on my part?) I.e. Bulbasaur is in the Blueberry dex, but the most recent entries are from Sword/Shield.
Additionally I noticed that there are no flavor texts for any of the Mega Evolutions. I know the Pokédex entries are tied to the species rather than the Pokémon or forms for obvious repetition issues, but I would like to request some way to have the Mega Evolution texts added in, including the ones for each game version as well. The forms already have an isMega parameter, so perhaps adding a "form-exclusive-flavor-text" next to it would fit?

Concerning Legends: Arceus According to Bulbapedia, there is no Bulbasaur entry in Legends: Arceus https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbasaur_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Pok%C3%A9dex_entries
But there is a Legends: Arceus entry for Rowlet in Bulbapedia. And that entry matches the value in PokeAPI https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Rowlet_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Pok%C3%A9dex_entries https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon-species/rowlet
@MatthewGlenn can we consider this issue done? Or do we need to address some missing data?
@Naramsim Just to clarify, I was describing the issues with Legends: Arceus' flavor text. The missing data wasn't actually missing. There are no entries for Bulbasaur and many other Pokemon in Legends Arceus' dex. However, for the Pokemon that there is data in Legends Arceus, it exists correctly in PokeAPI. So that part of the issue can be ignored.
However, the other problems @NGarreau12 described still persist.
- The flavor text is missing for Scarlet and Violet Pokemon in the Blueberry Dex
- The flavor text is missing for Mega Evolution
Example for missing Scarlett and Violet Data: Rowlett https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon-species/rowlet https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Rowlet_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Pok%C3%A9dex_entries
Example for Mega Evolution: Charizard https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon-species/charizard https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Charizard_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Mega_Charizard_X_3
I should add on that this is the case for the Gigantimax entries as well.
