    I had a hard time finding an up-to-date Web Pokédex Scraper that is comprehensive in the information that it pulls, so I took some time the last few days to adapt and build on an existing Python-based Bulbapedia Scraper.

    Bulbapedia Web Scraper Tool:
    https://github.com/nbely/Bulbapedia-Pokedex-Web-Scraper

    There's some information that the tool doesn't scrape for currently (in particular Evolution info), which I will attempt to add in the near future.

    If you come across any broken behavior or incorrect data in the CSV file, or if there is any additional pokedex data on Bulbapedia that is desired and of which the scraper currently doesn't retrieve, please feel free to Create an Issue in the github repository (preferred) or inform me here and I'll do my best to resolve the issue or add new functionality.

    Thanks, and I hope this tool can be of help to anyone else who may need it!
