pokemon-picker

🎨 Pick your Pokémon from Pokédex!

I always have a problem for new project name. I had a simple idea to create random pokemon generator. So I make this project to randomly select Pokémon.

I use bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net to get index, name and types.

ALL 756 Pokemons are available!
