(using [CouchDB](http://couchdb.apache.org/) in particular) My thought is that the semi-structured nature of a document data-store is more suited for a pokedex. (hopefully making interacting with all the underlying data much simpler)\r\n\r\nI've been wanting to build a solid JSON API for pokedex data like this for a long time, and have put a lot of thought into how to do it with CouchDB specifically, so I thought I would start up a discussion here."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/veekun/pokedex/issues/comments/69943540","html_url":"https://github.com/veekun/pokedex/issues/140#issuecomment-69943540","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/veekun/pokedex/issues/140","id":69943540,"user":{"login":"dominicbarnes","id":160197,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/160197?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dominicbarnes","html_url":"https://github.com/dominicbarnes","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dominicbarnes/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dominicbarnes/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dominicbarnes/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dominicbarnes/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dominicbarnes/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dominicbarnes/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dominicbarnes/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dominicbarnes/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dominicbarnes/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-14T16:26:16Z","updated_at":"2015-01-14T16:26:16Z","body":"Yeah, that is actually where I started. fwiw, @phalt is working on [v2 of pokeapi](http://phalt.co/if-you-have-data-they-will-consume-it/), and mentioned using the pokedex here as the basis for it. (which is what directed me here)\r\n\r\nI think I may venture off on my own for the time-being to flesh out this idea of mine. Carry on :)"}}
