pokemonsay

Pokemon version of cowsay with CLI and API.

Inspired by another pokemonsay and parrotsay-api I created this to quell my obsession with Pokemon and command line greetings. This module includes all Pokemon and forms available on Bulbapedia excluding shinies, a total of 846.

CLI

Random

Simply call pokemonsay to get a random Wild POKEMON appeared! message.

Piping to STDIN

Pipe to pokemonsay to get a random Pokemon with the piped message below it.

API

There are a few methods that are available to utilize pokemonsay in your own app/module!
