What It Does

Notifies you when a desired Pokemon has been mentioned in a tweet from a select list of Twitter users.

How It Works

The app allows you to enter a list of Twitter Stream IDs (unique identifiers per each Twitter user), as well as a list of Pokemon you wish to be notified of. It opens a streamed connection to the Twitter API and watches for tweets from each provided Twitter user. If their tweet contains one of the Pokemon keywords entered, you'll receive a push notification from Pushbullet on all of your connected devices.
