PokeTerm
Welcome to PokéTerm!
A terminal based PokéDex. It retrieves information from PokeAPI, and some very light web-scraping of PokemonDB as a backup source. All data obtained is cached locally. The cache is stored in your home directory in a .poketerm folder
Stylization is handled with Rich. This program was tested with, and is intended to be used with, Windows Terminal. I have tested on WSL Ubuntu through Windows Terminal, and the default bash terminal on Mac, but I can’t verify any other specific terminal programs on other systems.
Go to the Releases tab and download the latest release.
It will likely be flagged as a virus on download and execution, but you can click “allow anyway”. I used PyInstaller to bundle the application, which is a common cause for false-positive results. There’s nothing I can do about that at this time, but I’ve submitted the program to various organizations for analysis, so it will be properly flagged in the future. Code signature certificates are very pricey, so that’s not viable for me right now.
