Pokete is a small terminal-based game inspired by classic Pokemon, written in Python. Players catch, train, and battle creatures called Poketes entirely within a text/ASCII terminal interface.
Use cases
- play a pokemon-style game in the terminal
- kill time with a lightweight retro RPG on Linux

When to choose
- you want a free, open-source Pokemon-like game that runs in a terminal
- you're on Linux/BSD/macOS/Windows and want a lightweight game with no graphics requirements
- you want to play a game over SSH or on a headless server
When to avoid
