PokeGuess

An open-source game utilizing PokeAPI to create a comprehensive Pokemon guessing game (in the spirit of "Who's That Pokemon")!

This project was created for the 2025 Hack Club Summer of Making! https://hackclub.com

Note - this project was intended for PC 16:9 displays, but can be used on tablet or phone landscape-mode

Where can I find the source code for this application?

The source code for PokeGuess can be found on my GitHub here!

Will typos affect my score?

No, but ensure the Pokemon is spelled correctly - the system won't accept it otherwise! Capitalization doesn't matter, though.

How is Pokemon retrieval powered?

We use the free PokeAPI to get information about Pokemon as well as retrieve a set of them for randomization.

What does the "difficulty" setting affect?

The 'difficulty' setting affects the amount of guesses as well as the amount of points removed from a wrong guess. The higher the difficulty, the less guesses and more points removed!

What does the "set" setting affect?

The 'set' setting affects the generation / amount of cards used! We know that newer cards are less familiar, so we added a feature to control the set used - it's much easier to guess the ones you have a possibility of knowing!
