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
