This guide walks you through everything required to run Pokédex Web App on your local machine. By the end, you will have a fully functional Flask server running at http://127.0.0.1:5000 with all 1025 Pokémon loaded, a working SQLite database, and the ability to register an account, browse the Pokédex, and build your personal team.
1

Clone the repository

Download the project source code from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/Navi-27/Proyecto-UPC.git
cd Proyecto-UPC
2

Create and activate a virtual environment

Using a virtual environment keeps the project’s dependencies isolated from your system Python installation.
# Windows
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate

# macOS/Linux
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
Your terminal prompt should now show (venv) to confirm the environment is active.
3

Install dependencies

Install all required packages from requirements.txt:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This installs the following packages:
PackagePurpose
flaskWeb framework and routing
requestsHTTP client for PokéAPI calls
gunicornProduction WSGI server
werkzeugPassword hashing and security utilities
4

Run the development server

Start the Flask development server directly with Python:
python application.py
Alternatively, use the Flask CLI:
flask --app application run
You will see log output in your terminal as the app initialises the SQLite database and begins fetching Pokémon data.
5

Open the app in your browser

Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your browser.On first launch, the app calls PokeAPI.obtener_lista_pokemones(limite=1025) to download all 1025 Pokémon from https://pokeapi.co/api/v2 and saves them to the local pokedex.db SQLite cache. Watch the terminal for Descargando N/1025... progress messages.
First-run download: The initial startup fetches all 1025 Pokémon from PokéAPI one by one, which can take a few minutes depending on your internet connection. Once complete, all Pokémon are stored in the local pokedex.db SQLite database and every subsequent start loads instantly from the cache — no network calls required.
