## What it is
A Pokedex Android application built in Kotlin demonstrating modern Android architecture components including ViewModel, LiveData, Room, Navigation, and ViewBinding. It serves as both a usable Pokemon reference app and a reference implementation of MVVM architecture with Koin dependency injection.

## Use cases
- browse a pokedex of pokemon on android
- learn android mvvm architecture with viewmodel and livedata
- see an example of room database and navigation in kotlin
- find a sample app using koin dependency injection
- study a kotlin android project using viewbinding and retrofit

## When to choose
- you want a well-starred Kotlin example of Android architecture components
- you need a reference app for ViewModel, LiveData, Room, and Navigation patterns
- you want a simple Pokedex app for Android

## When to avoid
- you need Jetpack Compose UI - the author points to compose-pokedex instead
- you need a production-grade Pokemon app with full API coverage - several roadmap items like Coroutines and JUnit are incomplete
- you need an actively developed project - releases are infrequent
