• Official artwork
• Stats (in the detailed view)

Customization

Adding More Pokémon

To increase the number of Pokémon loaded, modify the limit parameter in the API call:

const response = await fetch("https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon?limit=50");

Changing the Theme

The app uses a blue/indigo gradient theme. To change this, modify the background classes in the main container:

<div className="min-h-screen bg-gradient-to-b from-[your-color] to-[your-color] text-white">
