"So... I like games about decisions, opportunity cost, and variables. Pokémon should be a natural fit, but I find the mainline games too easy to keep me engaged. I found out the Nuzlocke challenge long ago, but it was until the randomness factor was added with the Randomlocke challenge that It caught my attention. I watched people doing them first to see if I wanted to try something like that, but since the things I liked most was the team drafting and random battles, I decided to instead search for a way of doing just that.
Enter Pokémon Showdown with their random battle formats. I tried them out and at first it was a good fix for what I wanted, but the more games I played the more I started to see limitations in their random team generation that left me wanting more. You also don't get to draft your team in those formats, so the other big thing I was looking for wasn't there.
I kept looking and found PokéAPI. I immediately began thinking about the possibilities and made a bare bones web app that only gave you 9 random pokémon upon loading... Evidently, I kept going." - About
