We will develop a Pokemon application based on the Kotlin language, which will call the Pokemon API to display information about all the Pokemon. We will also develop further to make Pokemon appear randomly on the map, and related AR functions.

PokePocket

PokePocket application is based on the Kotlin language and will call the Pokemon API to display information about all the pokemon. Each pokemon's background color based on the dominant color of the pokemon in a particular view. We are also implementing a map feature where users can catch pokemon by collecting pokemon balls on the map. We will also develop an AR feature where users can interact with the poke balls on the map.
