A Python tool that sets Pokémon-themed backgrounds for your terminal and desktop wallpaper across multiple platforms.
Pokemon-Terminal is a command-line application that applies Pokémon-themed images as backgrounds for terminal emulators and desktop wallpapers. It solves the problem of a bland developer workspace by offering a fun, nostalgic way to personalize the environment with a vast, filterable collection of Pokémon artwork.
Developers and terminal users who want to customize their terminal or desktop background with Pokémon imagery, particularly those using supported terminals like iTerm2, ConEmu, Terminology, Windows Terminal, Tilix, or Kitty.
Developers choose this for its extensive library of 719 unique Pokémon images, broad multi-platform compatibility for both terminals and desktops, and advanced filtering options like region, type, and lightness—offering a highly customizable and nostalgic personalization tool not found in generic background setters.

Offers 719 unique Pokémon images with advanced filtering by name, index, region, type, and lightness, allowing precise theme selection as shown in the README's feature list and usage examples.
Supports multiple terminal emulators (e.g., iTerm2, Windows Terminal) and desktop environments (e.g., Windows, macOS, GNOME, i3wm), detailed in the installation and usage sections for wide usability.
Includes slideshow mode for automatic cycling, custom JPG image support via the 'Extra' folder, and transparency adjustments for terminals, enhancing personalization options as per the tips and tricks.
The README provides clear, step-by-step guides for installation, terminal-specific settings (e.g., Kitty remote control), and troubleshooting common issues, reducing setup friction.
Some terminals require non-trivial configuration, such as Kitty needing remote control enabled with password protection, which adds overhead compared to simpler background tools.
Only JPG format is supported for custom images, and the README notes compression artifacts in the pre-included images, which may affect visual quality for some users.
Requires Python 3.7+ or Node.js for installation, and functionality is tied to supported terminals and desktops, limiting portability and increasing maintenance effort.
Slideshow mode runs in the background and may consume system resources, and the large image library (originally 100MB compressed) could impact load times or storage on low-end devices.
