Background

All the data is based on the pokesprite project. You might want to look at this page to see the full list of Pokémon available.

Limitations

• The small images are only displayed on iTerm2 >= 3.x (using term-img). All other terminals will default to the xterm files.

Notice

Please notice I don't own Pokémon or anything related to it. Pokémon is property of The Pokémon Company.

Contributing

You will need:

• NodeJS 12.x or newer
• npm

If you need to update the images and xterm files, you will need:

• ImageMagick
• img2xterm (this needs to be compiled from source)

Then run

npm run scrape && npm run make-xterm
