Add serebii/bulbapedia links

Submitted by user: “One thing that could be very useful is for a link to sites like serebii where we can find infromation on where to find, how to evolve etc… One place where I think it whould be quite good is for it to be in the righ click menu on some of that white part.”

Check to see whether it’s possible to dynamically generate links from the pokemon name/number

    I will look into this in the future. I would like to support Bulbapedia, Serebii, and PokemonDB (user options for which they prefer).

    Biggest problem I see is where to add these links. For the time being I’m thinking about the right-click/long-press menu.

    I agree, the right-click/long-press menu is the best place for it. That way it’ll be easier (I hope) to dynamically generate the URLs. We should make sure to have the links open in new tabs though.

    Dynamically-generating links to Bulbapedia and PokemonDB seems trivial for English, but Serebii will need some more serious work since there’s an entry for each pokemon for each game it is in.

    Simplest solution is to know each generation, know which pokemon is in which generation, and then map the URLs appropriately, but I didn’t look into this very deeply.

    We could potentially add a new key-value pair to the JSON for this, with a numeric gen identifier in it.
