Flatiron Pokemon Pal

You're building the next greatest app for Flatiron School called, "Flatiron Pokemon Pal". Your task is to take a pre-built backend (don't worry, we will give you the documentation to the backend), and use it to display wondrous Pokemon and make sure they can exercise and get love. Below you'll have an example of the implementation and from there you will need to recreate it.

Example

Deliverables

Your tasks include the following:

• As a user, when the page loads I should see a single Pokemon.
• As a user clicks on the Give Love button, it should increment the love value by one. This should be persisted in the remote API as well.
• As a user clicks on the Exercise button, it should increment the strength value by one. This should be persisted in the remote API as well.

Implementation Notes

The Page

Just be sure to change the elements on the page as necessary. YOU DO NOT NEED TO DYNAMICALLY ADD /ALL/ Pokemon.

The API

All requests will run through this base url: https://pokemon-pals.herokuapp.com/

You will then make sure append whatever resource you are using moving forward through this document, such as /pokemons, /love, or /strength.

GET /pokemons/:id

You will get Pokemon's by ID. You can use an ID of 1 if you like. You will have anywhere from 1 to 10.
