why I made it

I made it because I have been curious about APIs, and I have also been playing pokemon x recently, so this was a perfect way to combine them!

learning outcomes

  • I learned how to use APIs and also learned a little bit more about deploying on Vercel. I also was able to get more familiar with TypeScript and Tailwind, and I am excited to build more advanced projects. This was an entry way project for me to understand how to use APIs and use more typescript/tailwind!

Challenges I faced

I faced an issue with the APIs, especially since I didn't know that the Pokémon images were .sprites or that they came in a folder, so I spent some time on that. So my recommendation for this is to be sure at what the syntax requires (and looking at documentation helps a lot). Along with this, I had some issues with deploying, and I was able to look at documentation, but also at other people's guides for deploying!
