PokéDeck is a conceptual mobile application that is based on the Pokemon Pokédex. The mobile application was designed for beginners who are new to the franchise of Pokemon and who are looking for information that will allow them to learn about the types of Pokemon, what they eat, their stats, and the different evolution stages.

As a beginner myself, wanting to learn which type is stronger against different types, figuring out different Pokemon and how they are placed in the Generations are in the mind when playing the game but it can be hard to know where to begin because of how developed the card game is. With a classmate, we began the initial idea of the application by looking at Competitors and what they do well and what they lack in the areas of design and information as well as figuring out the primary audience the game targets.

Working on my first mobile application project outside of school was an interesting experience and one in which I was tested on all the topics that I learned in the first year of IMD. My design process was similar to the projects that I was a part of during the school. Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. In this project, I was able to achieve the 4 stages except for test. During the time, I had no idea what usability testing was until the beginning of my Senior year. One thing that I would like to do in move forward with this project is to test out the solution that was created and figure out what works and what doesn't. This will provide a polish approach and sharpen the edges on the solution that matter to the user.
