+## Introduction
+
+PokeArcadia is a fun game where you get to work with a Pokémon-themed project. The project is divided into two main parts: the frontend and the backend. You'll be adding data to the backend, and your changes will be reflected in the frontend. Along the way, you'll get hands-on experience with GitHub by learning how to make changes, push them to GitHub, and collaborate with others.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+Here's a quick overview of the project structure:
+
+PokeArcadia/
+ │ ├── frontend/
+  # The frontend of the game
+   │ ├── backend/ # The backend where you will make your changes

+     │ └── README.md # This file!
+
+     
+## How to Contribute
+
+To contribute to PokeArcadia, you'll be adding your own .txt file to the `backend/Entries/` folder. Follow the instructions below to get started.
+
+## File Format

+When you add a new `.txt` file to the `backend/Entries/` folder, make sure it follows this format:
+
