Pokemon version of cowsay with CLI and API.

Inspired by another pokemonsay and parrotsay-api I created this to quell my obsession with Pokemon and command line greetings. This module includes all Pokemon and forms available on Bulbapedia excluding shinies, a total of 846.

Simply call pokemonsay to get a random Wild POKEMON appeared! message.

Pipe to pokemonsay to get a random Pokemon with the piped message below it.

There are a few methods that are available to utilize pokemonsay in your own app/module!

• Argument: Object { number, pokemon, form }
• Result: Array of Objects [{ number, pokemon, form, say }]

Filter through the database using the available info to get matching Pokemon. The resulting objects in an array will contain the following properties:

• number: National Dex number (integer).
• pokemon: The name of the Pokemon.
• form: The first letter of the form.
  • Example: "A" for Alola Form (Marowak A-form) or "A" for Attack Form (Deoxys A-form)
• say: The ANSI compatible string meant for console.logging.

• Arguments: Integers min, max
• Result: Object { number, pokemon, form, say }

Get a random pokemonsay object. An optional min and max argument can be used to get Pokemon from a specific generation (including their alternate forms regardless of generation). The resulting object will contain the following properties:

• number: National Dex number (integer).
• pokemon: The name of the Pokemon.
• form: The first letter of the form.
  • Example: "A" for Alola Form (Marowak A-form) or "A" for Attack Form (Deoxys A-form)
• say: The ANSI compatible string meant for console.logging.

• Arguments: Object { pokemon, form, options }

• Arguments: Object { text, options }
• Result: String

Returns a string that shows a box with the message specified. The options property is an object that will override the default settings for boxen.
