Team Project

Team Name: MetaGross

Domain: Pokemon Data A Pokemon team management application that allows the user to look up specific Pokemon, filter by different Pokemon characteristics, as well as build a team of Pokemon that can then be graded on how good it is based on different factors.

User Stories:

• As a user I want to look up a Pokemon so I can see all its information
• As a user I want to filter Pokemon by type so I can see the type distributions of Pokemon
• As a user I want to filter by moves, so I can find Pokemon that can learn moves that I require to beat a Gym Leader
• As a user I want to see the Pokemon in a certain Egg Group so I can pass on an Egg Move
• As a user I want to save my built teams so I can refer to them later or reuse them
• As a user I want to build teams so I can plan ahead in a playthrough
• As a user I want to grade my team so I can check how good my coverage is
• As a user I want to see the Pokedex of a specific region so I can build my team for a specific game

Use Cases:

Use Case 1: Look Up a Pokemon:

Main flow

• User types in a Pokemon name
• System looks up that Pokemon in the API

Alternate flows

Use Case 2: Filter by Pokemon Characteristic:

Main flow

• User selects what kind of characteristic they’d like to filter by (such as type, Egg Group, et cetera)
• User types in the specific characteristic (like the Fire type or Field egg group) System looks up the characteristic in the API

Alternate flows

• User inputs an instance of the characteristic that does not exist (like typing a ‘Sound’ type) -> prompt that it does not exist

Use Case 3: Build Pokemon Team:

Main flow

• User selects a Pokemon
• User clicks ‘Add’ button
• Once done building team, user clicks “Save” button

Alternate flows
