Hey everyone. Welcome to today's tutorial. In today's tutorial, we will learn how to create a Pokémon quiz game called "Who's the Pokémon?". To build this project we would need HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Let's discover how to build this project in a few simple and easy-to-follow steps.

Video Tutorial:
For a better understanding of how we built the functionality of this project, I would advise you to watch the video below. If you find the video helpful give it a like and subscribe to my YouTube channel where I post new tips, tricks, and tutorials related to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Project Folder Structure:
Let's build the project folder structure before we begin writing the code. We create a project folder called 'Who's the Pokemon?'. Inside this folder, we have three files. These files are index.html, style.css, script.js, and the images of various Pokémon.
HTML:
We begin with the HTML Code. First, create a file called - 'index.html'. Copy the code below and paste it into your HTML file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Who's that Pokemon</title>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;600&display=swap"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- Stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="game-container hide">
<div class="header">
<div class="timer"></div>
</div>
<div class="container"></div>
</div>
<div class="score-container">
<div id="user-score"></div>
<button id="start">Start</button>
</div>
<!-- Script -->
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
Next, we style our list using CSS. For this copy, the code provided to you below and paste it into your stylesheet.

}
#user-score {
margin-bottom: 1em;

}
JavaScript:
Finally, we add functionality using JavaScript. Once again copy the code below and paste it into your script file.
The game consists of a series of questions with images of Pokémon, and the user has to choose the correct option from a list of options.
The steps included in creating this are:
- First, initialize all the images and their corresponding correct options in an array of objects and create an array of different options for the questions. Apart from this, declare variables and create references
- When the user clicks the start button the “startGame” function is called. It calls the “populateQuestions” function to populate 5 random. questions in an array and then calls the “cardGenerator” function to generate the UI for the game.
- “cardGenerator” further calls “populateOptions” to get all 4 options for our question and to shuffle options randomly it makes a call to the “randomShuffle” function, then it calls the “timerDisplay” function to start the countdown.
- When the user clicks an option the “checker” function is called which checks if the selected option is correct or not, updates the score, and calls the “nextQuestion” function which displays the next question. The “nextQuestion” function would also be called if the countdown ends or if the user clicks the next button.
//Initial References
//Questions Or Images
const questions = [
{
image: "Alakazam.jpg",
correct_option: "Alakazam",

Thank you for creating this post @codingcss! :) It brought back memories of me playing Pokémon Silver on my Game Boy and watching the animated show! :) Just out of curiosity, what inspired you to do this project, and how come Jigglypuff is not in array that lists the Pokémon? Lol, they're the greatest one in the series! :)
I love pokemons
