🎨 Pick your Pokémon from Pokédex!

![](./images/logo.png)

I always have a problem for new project name.<br />
I had a simple idea to create random pokemon generator.<br />
So I make this project to randomly select Pokémon.

I use [bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net][0] to get index, name and types.<br />

**ALL 756 Pokemons are available!**
