🕹️ Command-line tool similar to neofetch for looking up pokemon in the terminal.
This is a script I'm working on to further my webscraping skills
Python 3
Bash
This script currently asks for the pokedex number of the pokemon you'd like to get information about, then it will get the picture and some related information such as type, abilities, weaknesses, etc.
I wanted to model the output to be similar to screenfetch and neofetch, two popular scripts to grab system information.
Clone this repository to a directory of your choice in the command-line:
git clone https://github.com/rmccorm4/pokefetch
Make sure you have all of the necessary third-party libraries described below
pip install requests
pip install bs4
On Arch Linux:
yaourt -S catimg
Otherwise, follow the instructions here: https://github.com/posva/catimg
The "Gender" category that gets printed out uses ascii symbols and may not print properly depending on your terminal configurations.
Personally, I use adobe-source-code-pro-fonts
and I make sure that my
terminal's default encoding is UTF-8
./pokefetch.sh <pokemon_name>
Example below.
This is what I have so far:
However this requires a full-screen terminal in order to come out nicely.
