Pokedex Legacy - First PokeAPI integration

The original Pokedex from my earliest React days. Naïve code, honest excitement - the one that taught me async flows.

Pokedex Legacy - First PokeAPI integration

Context

My first-ever project consuming an external API. The code is rough, the state management is over-engineered, and I love it for that - it was the project where async flow finally clicked.

Takeaway

I kept it live as-is on purpose. It's a time capsule: how I wrote React before I knew better. Worth revisiting when a junior asks "is this good enough to ship?" - the answer is always yes, then you iterate.
