Introduction

PokeArcadia is a fun game where you get to work with a Pokémon-themed project. The project is divided into two main parts: the frontend and the backend. You'll be adding data to the backend, and your changes will be reflected in the frontend. Along the way, you'll get hands-on experience with GitHub by learning how to make changes, push them to GitHub, and collaborate with others.

Project Structure

Here's a quick overview of the project structure:

PokeArcadia/ │ ├── frontend/ # The frontend of the game
│ ├── backend/ # The backend where you will make your changes
│ └── Entries/ # The folder where you will add your .txt files
│ └── README.md # This file!

How to Contribute

File Format

When you add a new .txt file to the backend/Entries/ folder, make sure it follows this format:
