+  libpkmn is minimal, complete, Pokémon battle simulation engine optimized for
+  performance and designed for tooling, embedded systems, and artificial
+  intelligence use cases. This engine aims to be a frame-accurate and
+  bug-for-bug compatible implementation of both Pokémon battles as defined by
+  the original game code and the Pokémon Showdown1 simulator which represents
+  Pokémon battling as practically interpreted online.
