pokego displays Pokémon sprites as colored ASCII art in the terminal. It's a fun tool for customizing terminal prompts or adding personality to shell sessions.
The tool includes sprites for all Pokémon including regional forms, mega evolutions, and shiny variants. It's written in Go for fast performance.

Requires terminal with color support. Best viewed with dark background. Sprite quality depends on terminal font. Large sprites may not display well in small terminals.

pokego was created by rubiin as a faster alternative to pokemon-colorscripts. Written in Go, it offers improved performance while maintaining the fun of displaying Pokémon in terminals.
