PokéMap Project

Introduction

This project combines Pokémon lore with real-world climatological and ecological data to create a scientifically plausible mapping of Pokémon habitats.

Fire-Type Pokémon: Mapped to the hottest places on Earth.
Water-Type Pokémon: Linked to the wettest regions.
Ice-Type Pokémon: Thrive in the coldest environments.

Goal: To integrate Pokémon attributes, climate data, and biomes into a single cohesive map.
