Pokémon Battle System

A pet project of mine for about a year—recreating the battle system present in the Pokémon games.

There's even online multiplayer.

Everything's better when it's text-based! And with that thought upon my mind, I created this: a faithful reconstruction of the popular game, Pass the Pigs.
