Project Overview

AllPokemon is a comprehensive Pokémon team-building platform that evolved from browsing Pokemon to an AI-powered team-creation tool.

Key Technologies: Bubble.io, Framer, Buildship, Custom API integration, Plausible Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Logsnag

My Role: Full-stack developer, UX researcher, and project manager

Problem Statement

While researching, we discovered high search volumes for individual Pokémon, indicating strong user interest. Existing team builders were outdated and lacked features for competitive play. There was a clear need for a modern, user-friendly platform catering to both casual and competitive Pokémon players.

Solution Design

We initially designed a basic Pokémon browser and team creator. As we gained user insights, we pivoted to focus on competitive play features and eventually integrated AI for team suggestions.

Performance Optimizations

To improve page load times and SEO, we:

Migrated static content to Framer
