Hi! Classes are not the same as ids. They can be assigned to multiple elements so they can be identified as a group.

Anyways, to get all elements:

document.querySelectorAll('.[class name]').forEach(el => {
  // now, el is the element you are looking for, and you can do things accordingly
  el.style.background = "orange";
})

@Coder100 What does this code mean? sorry, but I am still a newbie.

@Coder100 nvm i dont need this i realized the code still works.

@Coder100 How would you add an item to a list in javascript?

@Coder100 Also should i add anything else to the pokemon game? Or what should i improve on?

let newItem = document.createElement("li");
let tag = document.getElementById("tag");
tag.appendChild(newItem);

<ol id="tag"></ol>

Classes in HTML are different than classes in any other language. Here, they are used for grouping together common elements or groups of elements so that they can be styled or identified in bulk.
