Pokete

Pokete is a terminal‑based game that emulates the mechanics of a classic monster‑collecting adventure. Players assume the role of a trainer, moving on a grid with WASD keys, encountering wild creatures in high grass, and engaging in turn‑based battles using a set of attacks that consume action points. Defeating opponents yields experience points, allowing the creature to level up, and weakened foes can be captured with Poketeballs to expand the trainer’s roster.

The game includes features such as a Pokete Center for healing, a deck view for managing up to six active creatures, and trainer battles that provide double experience. Types and strengths are defined, creating strategic match‑ups where certain types are effective or ineffective against others. An in‑game menu lets players adjust their name and future settings.

Pokete can be installed via pip, from the Arch User Repository, or as an AppImage, and it can be run locally or in a browser‑based environment. It is a stable, CLI‑available project aimed at users who enjoy retro‑style, text‑only gameplay.
