Overview

"PokéWalk" is a web-based project designed to engage Pokémon enthusiasts in an interactive experience of discovering Pokémon. The application allows users to explore various Pokémon types through a dynamic and visually immersive interface, utilizing the latest web technologies to deliver a seamless user experience.

  • Technology Stack: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, model-viewer library.
  • API Utilization: The project makes extensive use of the PokéAPI for fetching Pokémon data, including details like sprites, types, and abilities.
  • Custom Scripts: Custom JavaScript is employed for handling events like scrolling, filtering, and fetching data, enhancing the site's interactivity and functionality.

My Role& Contributions

As the developer, my involvement in the PokéWalk project was pivotal in translating the concept into an engaging and functional web experience. My contributions were integral to every phase of development and included:

  • Front-End Development and Design: I crafted a responsive and interactive interface that adapts to different device screens, ensuring a seamless user experience. The design also features dynamic content loading and infinite scrolling to keep users engaged.
  • API Integration and Data Handling: I implemented the integration with the PokéAPI to fetch and display detailed Pokémon data. This involved handling asynchronous requests and responses, parsing data, and dynamically updating the UI with Pokémon details like names, sprites, types, and abilities.
  • 3D Model Integration: Added a model-viewer component to display 3D models of characters, enhancing the visual appeal and interactivity of the website. This included configuring the viewer to support animations and camera controls.
