How often do you get to be the judge of a Pokémon video game tournament? How well do you know your Pokémons?

In this challenge, you will determine who qualifies as a Pokémon trainer for a tournament! Pokémon are virtual creatures living with human partners called “trainers.”


Let's introduce you to the concept of Pokémon types. Types are properties applied to Pokémon and their moves, which affect the power of moves in battles. There are 18 types: Normal, Fire, Fighting, Water, Flying, Grass, Poison, Electric, Ground, Psychic, Rock, Ice, Bug, Dragon, Ghost, Dark, Steel, and Fairy. A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, Charmander is a Fire type, while Bulbasaur is both a Grass type and a Poison type. There are a total of 324 possible ways to assign types to a Pokémon.

 

To qualify as a trainer in the tournament, you must have at least eight Pokémon types total, ranging across your six-Pokémon roster.
The dataset Pokemon trainers contains information on four Pokémon trainers and their six Pokémon.
The dataset Pokedex contains information on all Pokémons from all generations, such as the type (or types) of the Pokémon.


Your challenge is to determine which trainers qualify for the tournament and list the trainers' names and their six Pokémons (eight Pokémon types total).

A minor pain to extract trainer info, but brute forced it.

My solution (without the "JSON Parse" Tool, but with the correct sorting at the end and a test whether all Pokémon have been joined)
