Summary

A developer has created a Pokémon-themed Pokédex application using Django, Twilio, and the PokeAPI. The application allows users to send an SMS with the name of a Pokémon, which then queries the PokeAPI for information on that Pokémon, including its description and sprite. The response is then sent back to the user as an MMS message via Twilio. The application is deployed to Heroku and can be tested by sending an SMS with a Pokémon's name. With this application, users can have a real-life, sophisticated Pokédex to show off their Pokémon knowledge.
