At a Glance
The problem.
Existing Pokédex clones are either overwhelming (walls of stat tables) or superficial (just a sprite and a name). The challenge was to balance depth with clarity so casual fans and competitive players both feel at home.
The solution.
A card-first index with progressive disclosure: quick browse, expanded detail, then full stat sheets. The UI leans into Pokémon brand heritage (red/crimson) while keeping typography and spacing considered, not chaotic.
