SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Pokemon-colorscripts is a CLI utility written in shell script that prints out unicode sprites of pokemon to the terminal. Almost all pokemon generations 1-8 are available (except different forms). You can select specific pokemon to be printed out by name or let the script choose a pokemon randomly. While choosing randomly you can also filter by generation.

    Print help.

-l, --list
    List all available pokemon.

-r, --random  generation
    Select a pokemon at random and print it out. Can be followed by an optional generation number or range 1-8 to print out random pokemon from a specific generation or range of generations. If no generation is specified, selects from full list of available pokemon.

-n, --name  name
    Select a specific pokemon to print out by name. Most pokemon are spelled as expected. A few pokemon with some special characters in their names might be spelled slightly differently. Examples nidoran-f,nidoran-m,farfetchd,mr-mime etc. You can check the output of the list option if in doubt.
