Shows a pixel art of any Pokémon in your terminal!

Last update: Dec 22, 2022

Overview

pokemon-icat

This script is inspired by this project, but since the output heavily depends on the font of your terminal, i decided to make a script that shows a true PNG image of the Pokémon (of course, this script requires a terminal that supports images).

Installation

Important: this script currently works only on Kitty, but in pokemon-icat.sh you can change this behaviour by editing the last line, which shows the picture in the terminal.

To install the script, you must first have all the necessary packages installed:

Python 3.x
pip3
numpy

After making sure that you have all of these installed, run this command:

git clone https://github.com/ph04/pokemon-icat && cd pokemon-icat && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh

which should start the installation process of the script, by downloading every picture of every Pokémon.

By default, this will download every Pokémon with an upscaling factor of the original image of 9, but if you want to change this, run the last command with the option --upscale [upscaling factor], for example:

./install.sh -u 15

Usage

To show a random pokemon, simply run:

$HOME/.pokemon-icat/pokemon-icat.sh

If you want to specify one or more generations in particular, simply add "--gen [numbers]" at the end, between quotes, for example:

$HOME/.pokemon-icat/pokemon-icat.sh "-g 3 4 5"

Comments

Incorrect functionality when using with fish on Iterm2 on Mac

I tried to configure everything according to my own setup and ended up trying to make it work on Iterm with fish and using imgcat. However I am running into the following error as shown in the screenshot. Any help regarding why this is happening?

Url rate limited suring setup_icons.py
Attempting to run setup_icons.py during the install process tends to get rate limited and fail after ~400-500 downloads.

Initial fix was adding:

if exists(f"{home}/.pokemon-icat/pokemon-icons/{pokemon}.png"): print(f"{pokemon} exists already") continue

to main loop and running multiple times was a workaround, but a better workaround would likely involve a try/catch around requests.get(url) and sleeping for a little if it fails.

Fix bug and remove the necessity of double quotes

Fix the problem when trying to display a pokemon from any folder other than .pokemon-icat. Remove the necessity of double quotes. For example in "--g 1 2 3", You can now use -g 1 2 3

[improvement] async requests

The setup_icons.py can be considerably faster using asynchronous requests.

The current script takes ~7 minutes (~420 seconds) to run. If you make 10 requests for batch, 1s delay between each batch, it would take ~90 seconds to download everything. The server probably can deal with smaller delays though.

make http requests asynchronous

Implementation of #2. I introduced some global variables. Some, you can parameterize, others, you can't. Also, there's some magic numbers there, which you can create constants for. I removed the try-except from #1. You can reintroduce it, but i REALLY don't recommend you do it in the same way as before. You can also use a numpy array to store the pokemon names, i guess. It should be better.
