Guess the pokemon

This project is one I started to try to improve my React skill. I got inspiration to do this project because I saw the PokeAPI which is an API that returns different data from the Pokemon games. The game I made is inspired by the web game Squirdle which I played with a friend and realized that the interface left a lot to be desired. After seeing this I had the idea to make my own version to also improve my React skill at the same time. Sadly I never finsished this project because I started my current study at the HAN and didn't have the time for it anymore but I hope to be able to finsih it some day.

The project

I first started the project by experimenting with API calls and how they work in React cus I had never done anything with them yet. After I tried simply getting some data with the Fetch function I had a pretty good idea how it would work. After the experimenting I made A list of all the features that I would need to remake the Squirdle project in my own style.

Feature list

  • The project needs to select a random pokemon at the start of the game to be the guessing pokemon.
  • The player needs to be able to get a list of pokemon and their information based on a search query.
  • The player needs to be able to select a pokemon from their search list and submit it as a guess.
  • After a submision the app needs to check if the guessed pokemon is the same as the random pokemon.
  • If the pokemon is not the same as the random pokemon the app needs to compare the guessed pokemons info to the random pokemons info and give the player the correct info
  • On correct guess the app needs to have a win screen and give the player feedback on guessing the right answer
