Pokidex CLI

Small CLI app for exploring and collecting Pokémon from the PokéAPI.

Repo organization (changed)

• internal/cli — shared Config type used across the app
• internal/commands — command implementations (Map, Mapb, Explore, Catch, Inspect, Pokedex, Exit)
• repl.go, main.go — application entry and REPL
• internal/pokeapi — API client (unchanged)

Prerequisites

• Go 1.20+ (or recent Go toolchain)

Build & run

Build the binary:

go build -o pokidex

Run directly with go run:

go run .

The app opens a REPL. Type help to see available commands.

Some actions show a spinner and wait briefly on purpose so the terminal feels more animated:

• map and mapb show a loading spinner while fetching locations
• explore shows a loading spinner while fetching area encounters
• catch shows a longer spinner so the catch attempt feels animated
• exit shows a short save spinner before quitting

Commands

• map — show next page of locations
• mapb — show previous page of locations
• explore <location> — explore a location for Pokémon
• catch <pokemon> — attempt to catch a Pokémon
• inspect <pokemon> — view details for a caught Pokémon
• pokedex — list caught Pokémon
• help — display this help
• exit — save and quit
