pokefetch

A bash script that runs fastfetch with a random Pokémon sprite as the logo.

Apparently, there already existed a version of this with pokeget and I wasn't informed of lol

Usage

./poke_fetch.sh [pokeapi|pokeget]   # default: pokeapi

Modes

pokeapi (default)

Downloads sprite PNGs from the PokeAPI sprites repo and caches them in ~/.cache/pokemon_sprites/. Renders via the Kitty Graphics Protocol — requires a compatible terminal (Kitty, Ghostty, WezTerm).

Dependencies: fastfetch, curl, Kitty-compatible terminal

pokeget

Renders Pokémon as ANSI pixel art using pokeget. Works in any terminal. The sprite is vertically centered against the fastfetch output.

Dependencies: fastfetch, pokeget
