This script fetches a random Pokémon sprite and displays it alongside system info using a fetcher (currently only works with fastfetch). Sprites are dynamically centered for clean terminal aesthetics. Easily configurable padding. Even special forms of Pokémon are available image

Requirements

  • pokeget-rs (for fetching Pokémon sprites)
  • fastfetch (only supported fetcher so far)
  • Bash (or any POSIX-compatible shell)

Configuration

You can customize the following inside the script:

POKEMON_LIST=(victini "mimikyu -s" celebi furret "mewtwo --mega-y") # just my favs
FETCHER="fastfetch" # only fastfetch is currently supported

EXTRA_PADDING_H=2
EXTRA_PADDING_W=0
WIDTH=38
  • POKEMON_LIST: List of Pokémon to choose from (check pokeget for more info)
  • EXTRA_PADDING_H: Additional vertical padding
  • EXTRA_PADDING_W: Additional horizontal padding
  • WIDTH: Maximum sprite display width

Installation

Copy the code and paste it in your .bashrc, that simple.

But remember to make sure pokeget and fastfetch are installed and available in your PATH.
