🐉 Pokemon Battle (Java)

MVP

✅ An object-oriented Pokémon battle system implemented in Java
✅ The project follows a classic OOP design
✅ implement the same idea twice:

• once in a functional style - (Racket) https://github.com/eleventozero/pokemon-battle-racket
  
• once in an object-oriented style - (Java)

❗AI Assistance

AI tools were used to support project planning, code reviews, refactoring, and documentation.
The final implementation, design decisions, and project structure were reviewed and validated by myself.

Features

• Turn-based battle system (Player vs Enemy)
• Object-oriented state management (encapsulation & mutation)
• Type effectiveness system (Gen 1 inspired)
• SQLite database integration
• Modular architecture (Data, DB, Logic, UI)

Future Improvements

• Status effects (poison, burn, etc.)
• Improved enemy AI (strategy instead of random)
• Extended type system (full Gen 1 mechanics)

⭐ Notes

This project is designed as a learning system to explore:

• Object-oriented programming in Java
• Translating functional design into OOP
• Clean architecture and separation of concerns
• Game logic implementation
• Database integration with SQLite
