Pokedex is an application that categorizes, filters, and displays pokemon information. By default, the app queries pokemon by their respective generation. Any additional filters used will be based on the results of the generation filter.

Motivation

I grew up as a big fan of the pokemon games. And like many others who grew up playing pokemon, I constantly referred to a third-party site/guide for information on pokemon. "When does my Piplup evolve? What does the shiny version look like?" Well, Serebii will tell you. This site had every ounce of information on pokemon, the games, show, trading cards, and probably more. I loved the website and used it whenever I needed it, and still do to this day. However, I always wished they had a better way to search pokemon besides using a select tag for each generation. That's why I made this application. I wanted to make something more visually pleasing and easier to navigate. Because I don't know about you, but I find it easier to spot Pikachu from rows of pokemon box sprites than a select tag's list of names.

Afterthoughts

There are still a couple of features/changes I'd like to add, like animations, additional data, and refactoring. But I'm pretty happy with how the site turned out and the current state of it. While I still have a lot of room for improvement in best practices and algorithms, I had a lot of fun building this project and am proud of how far I've come.
