+## Game Mechanics
+* **Random Pokemon:**
+  - You must get a random pokemon on each battle side using the PokeAPI and put them to battle to determine the winner

In the example solution above, the battle is based solely on which Pokemon's attack stat is higher. Other battle mechanics may include summing up all base stats and determining which total is higher or finding the higher difference between the opponent's health stat and the attack stat of the other Pokemon.

+  - There are several possibilities for battle mechanics but these are some suggestions for starting out, it can go much more in-depth such as to add moves, health bar, etc.
