Challenges of this Project:

This project was originally designed to be a database for the online card game, Hearthstone, using the Hearthstone API. Unfortunately, after about two days os work, I realized many of the data sets had issues like broken image links or incomplete data and it was very difficult to visualize a great end product with these problems. Since this project was done on a deadline, I looked for something that could change the theme of the site without needing huge changes to the voerall structure. For this reason, the Pokemon TCG API seemed like a good fit as it was also a card game with a plethora of data on the game.
