Pokedex CLI

A command-line Pokedex REPL built in Go, powered by the PokéAPI.

About

This project is a REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) that lets you look up Pokémon info — names, types, stats, and more — directly from your terminal.

Learning Goals

• Parse JSON in Go
• Make HTTP GET requests
• Build a CLI tool that interacts with a backend API
• Practice local Go development and tooling
• Implement caching to improve performance

Usage

go run main.go

Once the REPL starts, type a command and hit enter. Type help to see available commands.

Data Source

All Pokémon data is fetched from the PokéAPI — a free, open REST API for Pokémon data.
