CLI Pokemon Battle Game is a text-based game implemented in Python that simulates Pokemon battles. This game utilizes object-oriented programming (OOP) principles to manage game logic, Pokemon attributes, and battle mechanics.
- Choose from multiple Pokemon with unique attributes and moves.
- Engage in turn-based battles with wild Pokemon.
- Capture wild Pokemon and add them to your team.
- Heal and manage your Pokemon team.
- Navigate a board where each step can lead to a Pokemon encounter.
- Increase your Pokemon's health as you explore.
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cli-pokemon-game.git
cd cli-pokemon-game- Ensure you have Python 3.6+ installed on your machine.
- Navigate to the project directory.
- Run the game script:
python main.py- Follow the on-screen instructions to play the game.
- At the start of the game, input your desired board dimensions:
- Width: Specify the width of the game board.
- Height: Specify the height of the game board.
- Number of Grass Tiles: Determine how many grass tiles (where Pokémon encounters occur) will be on the board.
- Move around the board using w, a, s, d keys.
- Each move consumes a step and heals your Pokemon team by 30 HP (up to their maximum HP).
Engage in battles with wild Pokemon encountered on the board. In each battle, you have several strategic options:
- Fight - Choose from your Pokemon's unique moves to attack the wild Pokemon. Each move has different damage values and effects
- Player's Turn - Select a move from your Pokemon's move list. The move deals a specified amount of damage to the wild Pokemon.
- Wild Pokemon's Turn - The wild Pokemon will randomly select one of its moves to attack your Pokemon.
- Run - Avaoid fighting the wild Pokemon.
- Throw Pokeball - Try to capture the wild Pokemon. The success rate depends on the wild Pokemon's remaining HP.
- A capturing timer and chance system determine if the capture is successful.
- Heal - Use a heal to restore 100 HP to your active Pokemon (up to their maximum HP).
The battle continues in a turn-based manner until one of the Pokemon faints, you capture the wild Pokemon, or you decide to run away.
- Type-Based Damage System: Improve the battle mechanics by incorporating a type-based damage system. Certain types are strong or weak against others. For example:
- Super Effective: Attacks deal double damage when the attacker's type has an advantage over the defender's type (e.g., Water-type moves against Fire-type Pokemon).
- Not Very Effective: Attacks deal half damage when the attacker's type is at a disadvantage (e.g., Fire-type moves against Water-type Pokemon).
- No Effect: Some moves may have no effect depending on the type match-up (e.g., Electric-type moves against Ground-type Pokemon).
- Implement More Pokemon Types and Moves: Expand the variety of Pokemon and moves.
- Enhance Battle Mechanics with Status Effects and Items: Introduce status effects (e.g., paralysis, poison) and items (e.g., potions, berries).
- Leveling Up: Introduce a leveling system where Pokemon gain experience points (XP) from battles.
- Evolving Pokemon: Implement a feature where Pokemon can evolve into more powerful forms when they reach certain levels or meet specific conditions. Evolution will enhance a Pokemon's stats and may grant new moves
