Pokedex CLI Game

A command-line interface (CLI) game that lets you explore, catch, and inspect Pokémon. The game features various commands to interact with a Pokémon-themed REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop).

Features

• Help Command: Lists all available commands within the program.
• Map Commands: Integrates with the Pokémon API to fetch and display a list of 20 locations to explore. Navigate using mapn (next) and mapb (back) commands.
• Caching Mechanism: Stores API call results for 5 minutes to enhance performance and reduce redundant requests. Automatically clears unused items after the specified duration.
• Exploration: Explore different areas using the explore command followed by the area's name.
• Catching Pokémon: Attempt to catch Pokémon with the catch command followed by the Pokémon's name. Success is determined by a random chance based on the Pokémon's base experience.
• Pokedex Command: View a list of all captured Pokémon.
• Inspect Command: Get detailed statistics of a specific Pokémon using the inspect command followed by the Pokémon's name.
