Promise seems to need await to work correctly. [4:08pm]

[frankcollins3]

 const check = async () => {
  new Promise( (resolve, reject) => {
      fetch(`http://localhost:5000/pokemon?query={puppeteer}`)
      .then(async(data) => {
        console.log('data in the promise');
        **data = await data.json()**
        data ? 
        resolve( 
            console.log('data'),
            console.log(data)
          )
        : 
        reject("ben and jerry")
      })

    })
}

without the await data.json() , the promise returns a promise that hasn't been fulfilled:

if the await keyword precedes the data.json(), and the scope to which that code belongs is an async function, the data from the GraphQL route is returned successfully:   The problem is that I thought that Promise solves for the awaited data not populating the values before sequential steps are executed. **first proposed approach:** Promise.all?() or leave this how is it is now with the await keyword
