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.

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:

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