Hey all. I really admire the people out there making tools and sharing free software that helps people or makes their computering better. I often see these projects have some lists of things they need help with, and I'd love to be someone who can help with that - as I'm not a very good "ideas" person but I do like fixing things and problem solving. How do I even get started in this sort of thing? How good do I have to be to be a part of this community driven effort? are there communities that can help

I haven't really done any solid programming in a long time and forget a ton. I get the "basics" and I've done a lot of tutorials which ended with me saying "okay what now?" I'd like to move beyond that.

(BONUS QUESTION: What would be the most helpful language to learn / use for this? I know some python and C but that's about it. What's a good go-to these days that covers a lot of bases?)

In-game, I completed the regional dex. There are many Pokémon that have evolved from Pokémon you can only get once. I'm trying to complete the Pokémon Home ZA dex using the Pokémon that I've caught but obviously some are missing. To fill in the gaps (for example, first form and second form of starters and special Pokémon) would I need to start a new save file and laboriously send them to home and back before I get them to evolve?

Thanks everyone! It's been a minute since I played so I'm happy for your input. What a lovely community!
