Hey HN! Wanted to share a fun project I've been hacking on. Given Jev can make decisions really fast (but not fast enough to play Doom yet sadly), I wanted to try and push it to play a more complex game than Tetris. So I went with Pokémon.

I've spent endless hours playing this game as a child so building this was a ton of fun.

I open sourced everything in case you want to hack on it yourself here: https://github.com/christianmat/jev-pokemon

The game is being streamed live including the tokens and cost - hopefully we get all the badges and don't get stuck in a cave :)

That's actually fun to watch. Did you experiment with nicknaming before you turned it off? I'd be a little curious to see how it behaves.

Jev can't come up with original text, but I did consider giving it a list of hilarious names.
