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
  • play a game without a GUI over SSH
  • try an open-source clone of classic monster-catching games
  • run a fun ASCII game on a low-end machine

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

  • you want modern 2D/3D graphics, soundtracks, or online multiplayer
  • you need an official Pokemon game with licensed content
  • you want a mobile or browser game experience
