+;; let's try to make a pokedex in racket!
+
+;; first step will be to write a function to query the pokeAPI
+;; like so, https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/ditto
+
+;; once there is a function in place that returns data I will
+;; have a choice to make -- do I want to always query the API,
+;; do I want to cache results, or do I want to create an offline
+;; repository of poke-data to search through and sometimes update?
+
+
+;; basic GET request
+(require net/url)
