🔥 PokéDex: React + TensorFlow CNN + Blender🔥

LAUNCH THE POKÉDEX

🎮 What is Inside?

• AI-powered Pokémon prediction with 96% accuracy using TensorFlow CNN
• 120+ custom 3D Pokémon models built in Blender 🎨
• Real-time data fetching from PokéAPI
• Interactive Gym Hub with leaders, badges, and trivia
• Fully responsive design — works on phones, tablets, and even your laptops!!

🎮 What is This?

Welcome to your personal AI-powered, 3D-enhanced PokéDex, built from scratch to not just catalog Pokémon but to understand them. With a smart CNN model that guesses Pokémon with 96% accuracy, interactive 3D models, and live API data fetching, this is the PokéDex you never knew you needed — until now. 🌟

🚀 The Legendary Tech Stack

🔧 Technology	⚔️ Role & Magic
React + Vite	Lightning-fast frontend ⚡ with modular, clean UI components
Vanilla CSS	Crisp, responsive, and visually stunning styles 🎨
Flask	The Python backend hero connecting AI & frontend 🤖
TensorFlow (CNN)	The AI brain that predicts Pokémon — boasting 96% accuracy 🧠
PokéAPI	Live-fetching detailed sprites, stats, evolutions — too big for local storage! 📡
Custom JSON Files	Local storage of crucial Pokémon data for instant loading ⚡
Blender 3D Models	Over 120 fully interactive 3D Pokémon models rendered in-browser! 🎥
Animations & Effects	Smooth transitions, hover glows, and spinning Pokéballs everywhere! ✨

Throwback to those endless hours with your Game Boy, catching, trading, and battling — this project is a love letter to that magical childhood.

⚙️ Smart Data Handling: JSON & API in Harmony

To keep the app speedy without sacrificing depth:
- Local JSON Files store essential data (names, types, base stats) for instant access and quick UI response.
- PokéAPI handles the heavy lifting with sprites, evolution chains, and dynamic game data too bulky to store locally.
Result? A PokéDex that’s both fast and full-featured. 💨⚡

🎨 My First 3D Modeling Quest

I went all Ash Ketchum on Blender, creating and optimizing over 120 Pokémon models from scratch. Each model is interactive — rotate ’em, zoom in, and see every detail come alive, from Pikachu’s cheek sparks to Charizard’s mighty wings. 🔥🐉

🏟️ The Gym Experience

Because no Pokémon journey is complete without GYMS, I built an entire interactive Gym section featuring:

• Gym Leaders & their iconic badges
• Regional affiliations & lore snippets
• Fun facts & trivia to level up your Pokémon knowledge 🎓

❤️ Why I Loved Building This

This was more than a project. It was a nostalgic journey, a technical adventure, and a creative explosion all rolled into one.

Every moment spent coding, modeling, or designing was a trip down memory lane — reliving the joy of my childhood favorites, now supercharged with modern AI and 3D magic.
