SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyboy, uv.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of playing legacy handheld games autonomously by bridging the gap between game state data and visual perception.

Core Features & Use Cases

Headless Emulation: Runs Pokemon ROMs in a headless environment with RAM-based state monitoring.
Vision-Integrated Gameplay: Combines RAM data with screenshot analysis to navigate complex environments and battle effectively.
Use Case: You can ask the agent to start a new game of Pokemon Red, and it will autonomously navigate, battle, and manage your team while providing you with a live dashboard to watch its progress.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to start playing Pokemon by providing the path to your ROM file and requesting it to initialize the game server.
