What will you learn?
A REPL, or Read-Eval-Print Loop, is a simple interactive programming environment that takes user input, evaluates it, and returns the result to the user. In this guided project, you'll build a Pokedex-like REPL in Go that uses the PokeAPI to fetch data about Pokemon. It's a great way to put your Go knowledge to the test and learn valuable skills like HTTP networking and data serialization.

This guided project was a bit more challenging since the directions require you to do your own research to figure out the steps. While this did make it tougher it was worth it to get more experience working in Go!
