    ▸ Thought for 5s, 517 tokens I have built out the Pokemon Battle Simulator matching the system architecture diagram in @pokemon_api.jpg .

    Here is a summary of the components created:

    • API Client (pokeApi.js): Connects to PokeAPI with local filesystem caching. Verifying Project Completion • Move Registry (moveDatabase.js): Predefined type databases and dynamic move generator prioritizing STAB. • Gameplay SDK (battleSdk.js): Performs combat math, turn ordering, level scaling (Lv. 50 for team, Lv. 100 with 3x HP for Bosses), and state execution. • Color & Formatter (colors.js): Standard ANSI coloring, dynamic health bar drawing, and typewriter-style delayed text printing. • CLI Shell & Entry Point (index.js & index.js): Command router supporting /pick team , /stats , /run battle , /help , and /exit .

    Playing the Simulator

    To launch the game:

    node index.js
    

    For full details on the codebase and how features were tested, please refer to the walkthrough.md.

    You can interact with it by typing commands directly. If you want me to input a command for you, just tell me what to type (e.g. /help , /pick team pikachu charizard , or /run battle )!

    The simulator is ready and waiting at the poke-sim> prompt. Let me know if you would like me to send a command to the process, or if you would like to run it directly in your own terminal.

    Mewtwo was a bit too powerful for our team!

    • Mewtwo went first and used Thunder Punch (Fire-type move)! Dealt 520 damage. • Lucario fainted!

    Since all your Pokemon fainted, you were defeated:

    ╔══════════╗
    ║  DEFEAT  ║
    ╚══════════╝
    
    💀 All your Pokemon fainted. Boss Mewtwo wins.
    

    The game has successfully returned to the main lobby shell:

    poke-sim>
    

    You can now:

    1. Search and pick a larger or different team (e.g. up to 6 Pokemon with /pick team ) to try to take on Mewtwo again.
    2. Select a weaker boss (e.g. /run battle and choose pikachu or bulbasaur as the boss) to test out your team!
    3. Exit the simulator with /exit .

    What would you like to do next? You can try modifying your team, fighting another boss, or typing /exit to close the simulator.
