PokéAPI: Copyright (c) 2013–2023 Paul Hallett and PokéAPI contributors.
https://github.com/PokeAPI/pokeapi
BSD 3-Clause; see licenses/pokeapi.txt. Pokémon and Pokémon character names are
trademarks of Nintendo. No endorsement is implied. Only factual species names,
types, generations and classifications are used, not artwork or flavour text.
Species are limited to National Pokédex #1–1025. Type questions use default forms.

The repository's data/sources/manifest.json records the exact source URLs,
revision IDs and SHA-256 digests. Dataset lists were normalized and combined;
common aliases were added and starting weights are game estimates, not surveys.
Unranked lists use uniform starting weights until online answer history grows.
