Hi, I plan to download several hundred thousand games for the development of a pokemon engine(particularly gen 9 natl dex), is there a preferred way for me to do this? Or is simply scraping the search api fine(obviously i would use reasonable rate limits and not just try to crash the servers)

How do i search for sprites ???
https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/
Ani are the animated sprites, the ones who say gen 1, 2, 3, etc, are the sprites of those generations. Afd are the joke sprites
This is more of a tournament doubt, but what time would be reasonable to wait until calling for an act? i just want to know
The rules state that in an individual tour (aka not a PL/WC/CL that kinda stuff) you are required to wait a minimum of 15 minutes. The team tour rules are more complicated, but in short it's either 20 minutes after a manager ping or 30 minutes after scheduled time, whichever is later. What you view as reasonable may be longer than that.
