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 TypeScript that uses the PokeAPI to fetch data about Pokemon. It's a great way to put your TypeScript knowledge to the test and learn valuable skills like HTTP networking and data serialization.

Was a really fun course! Very short though so it will not take forever to complete. I found myself talking to the bot a lot but that's just all part of my personal learning style
