Could you build this?
Partial The favorites, map, and preferences UI is vibe-codeable using public Pokémon data. The movement controls depend on Pokémon GO integration, which has no public API and is restricted by the game's terms, so the core feature is hard to build cleanly.
What it would actually take: A real version would likely be a native Android app using a map SDK and public Pokémon datasets such as PokeAPI, with a local database for favorites. The movement controls would need OS-level location or overlay permissions, and the game's terms of service would have to be navigated carefully. The hard part is the integration with Pokémon GO itself, which requires reverse engineering or accepting significant policy risk.
