I built a small web game that asks players to guess whether a name is a Pokémon or a real prescription drug.

Play here: https://pokepill.net

🎮 How it works:

  • A name appears (e.g. “Zyrtec”, “Garchomp”, “Xeljanz”)
  • You guess Pokémon or Pill
  • Faster answers earn more points
  • Build streaks, unlock harder difficulties, and climb the leaderboard

🛠 Tech stack:

  • React 19 + Vite
  • Framer Motion for animations
  • PokeAPI for Pokémon data
  • Drugs.com for medication info
  • Google Sheets API as a lightweight leaderboard backend

I built it mostly for fun and curiosity, but people seem to enjoy comparing scores and challenging friends.

Happy to answer any questions about the implemen…
