Pokedex

A simple command-line interface (CLI) for a Pokedex application written in Go.

Usage

This CLI provides various commands to interact with the Pokedex. Here are the available commands:

• exit: Exit the application.
• clear: Clear the screen.
• help: Show help.
• map: Display the names of 20 location areas in the Pokemon world.
• mapb: Display the previous 20 locations.
• explore: Display Pokemon names in an area.
• catch: Catch Pokemon.
• inspect: Inspect Pokemon.
• pokedex: Show Pokemon in the Pokedex.

To run the CLI, simply execute the following command:

go run main.go

TO-DO

• Update the CLI to support the "up" arrow to cycle through previous commands
• Simulate battles between pokemon
• Add more unit tests
• Keep pokemon in a "party" and allow them to level up
• Allow for pokemon that are caught to evolve after a set amount of time
• Persist a user's Pokedex to disk so they can save progress between sessions
• Use the PokeAPI to make exploration more interesting. For example, rather than typing the names of areas, maybe you are given choices of areas and just type "left" or "right"
• Random encounters with wild pokemon
• Adding support for different types of balls (Pokeballs, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, etc), which have different chances of catching pokemon
