Classic Pokemon SWOT

In the Original Red, Blue, and Yellow games, there were 15 pokemon types including Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost and Dragon. Each of these types has advantages, and disadvantages

The Classic Pokemon SWOT program allows you to choose your dream original pokemon team and then maps out your teams Strengths, Weaknesses, Oppurtunities, and Threats so you as a pokemon trainer can balance your team to poke-nirvana on your way to beat Gary and the Elite Four!

Goals of this Program

1. Implement a “master loop” console application where the user can repeatedly enter commands/perform actions, including choosing to exit the program.

• This is done using the main() program function.

2. Connect to an external/3rd party API and read data into the app.

• This is done by utilizing the Pokemon API.

3. Visualize data in a graph, chart, or other visual representation of data.

• This is done using pie charts with Matplotlib.

4. Utilize a virtual environment and document library dependencies in a requirements.txt file.

• This is done both via Poetry and the traditional requirements.txt file.

Setup and Install

Via Requirements.txt

2. Navigate to the project folder with terminal or gitbash and create a virtual envioronment.

• Windows python -m venv venv
• Mac/Linux python3 -m venv venv

3. Activate your virtual environment

• Windows venv\Scripts\activate.bat
• Mac/Linux source venv/bin/activate

4. Install the requirements.txt file using the following comand pip install -r requirements.txt NOTE: Some users (especially Ubuntu linux users) may have to install TKinter in order for matplot to display correctly. this can be done by running the following command below: pip install python-tkinter (for Ubuntu Based Systems) or pip install tkinter for other installations.
