Conversion of ZIM file

[SailorVenusFan]

Can you find some way to convert the ZIM file from Kiwix of this wiki, https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page but to convert the images to base 64 so the images can work offline?

I can't convert myself

You can use pyglossary (https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary) to do zim -> slob conversion, including offline images.

The following worked for me on Mac:

pipx install pyglossary --preinstall PyICU --preinstall libzim

pyglossary ./Downloads/bulbagarden_en_all_maxi_2022-02.zim bulbagarden_en_all_maxi_2022-02.slob

Conversion is successful, aside from these two errors:

[ERROR] Aard2 slob: unknown content type for 'favicon'
[ERROR] resource title: mw/skins.minerva.base.reset|skins.minerva.content.styles|ext.cite.style|site.styles|mobile.app.pagestyles.android|mediawiki.page.gallery.styles|mediawiki.skinning.content.parsoid.css

and indeed, looks like some css and javascript didn't make it through (perhaps something pyglossary can improve), but text and pictures are there. Missing CSS can be added as user style as a workaround.
