Pokemon (Go) Colorscripts

Phoney Badger's Pokemon colorscripts wrapped with Go into a standalone, cross-platform binary. All credit goes to Phoney Badger for the original pokemon-colorscripts project. You can find it here.

🤔 Why?

Why use this over the original?

• Performance: Go is compiled, so it doesn't rely on an interpreter like the original Python script. This generally results in faster execution times.
• Single binary: Making full use of Go's embed package, scripts and other assets are embedded directly into the binary. Resulting in a truly portable executable.
• Cross-platform: This is a standalone binary that works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• No dependencies: You don't need to install Python or any other dependencies to run this. Just drop the binary in your PATH and you're good to go.
