Pokedex - An enhanced PokeAPI experience

A polished Pokedex with four themes, filters, pagination, favorites, sound effects and a roulette spin - everything the first version didn't have time for.

Pokedex - An enhanced PokeAPI experience

The idea

A second pass at my very first React project - this time with everything I'd learned since. Four color themes, client-side filtering and sorting, pagination, favorites, detail view, a roulette to pick a random Pokémon, and actual cry sounds when you open a card.

What I shipped

  • Full CRUD over favorites with persistence.
  • Theme switcher reaching every surface (no flashes).
  • Styled Components layered on MUI for brand-specific visual flair.
  • Accessible keyboard nav across the grid.

Why it matters

This was my benchmark for "what would I do differently given time?". Shipping it made the delta between junior-me and then-me concrete - every decision had a reason.
