A discord bot that gives updates about the current and upcoming events in the Pokemon Go app.
/showcaseto get info about the current showcase/fivestarto get info about the current five-star raid boss/helpto get a full list of the PogoBot commands!
A quiz feature to test your pokemon knowledge! Can be played solo or with friends. In the future will be able to adjust difficulty of quiz questions, and maybe (hopefully) utilize machine learning account and nlp to account for typos and give similar answer choices for multiple choice questions!
I enjoy playing Pokemon Go in my spare time, and it's especially fun playing with friends. Although there are many online resources that give Pokemon Go info about updates, I wanted to find a way to streamline and simplify the info-gathering process. This discord bot was made to fulfill this purpose.
- The discord.py API (python) was used to create the pogobot.
- BeautifulSoup and RegEx was used to scrape information off of the leekduck.com website.
- JSON was used in tangent with Pogo API to get information about raid bosses and type effectiveness.
I ran into many issues surrounding repeatability and modularization. There were many processes that I coded, and then copy and pasted whenever I needed to reuse that code.
This eventually made it really inconvenient whenever I had to make changes, since I had to adapt the changes to all the instances of that process.
Eventually I modularized my code by breaking up small tasks into functions that I could then easily edit and reuse. However, if I had done this from the get-go I would've saved a lot of time and headache. In the future I'll be more careful with setting up my code to modularize the repeated processes so my code will be more scalable.
