Research direction

Start with the paginated evolution-chain request shown in the issue and locate the project documentation describing paginated endpoint results. Document that some resources, including evolution-chain results, may contain only a url and omit name; the work is done when this behavior is clearly stated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Some paginated endpoints return API resources without a name field, but this behavior isn't mentioned anywhere in the docs.

Steps to Reproduce:

curl "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/evolution-chain?limit=3" | jq

Results in the output:

{
  "count": 541,
  "next": "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/evolution-chain?offset=3&limit=3",
  "previous": null,
  "results": [
    {
      "url": "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/evolution-chain/1/"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/evolution-chain/2/"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/evolution-chain/3/"
    }
  ]
}

Where the resources in the results array just have a url and no name
