Skill instructions

Pokemon Player Play Pokemon games via headless emulation using the pokemon-agent package. When to Use - User says "play pokemon", "start pokemon", "pokemon game" - User asks about Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, etc. - User wants to watch an AI play Pokemon - User references a ROM file (.gb, .gbc, .gba) Startup Procedure 1. First-time setup (clone, venv, install) The repo is NousResearch/pokemon-agent on GitHub. Clone it, then set up a Python 3.10+ virtual environment. Use uv (preferred for speed) to create the venv and install the package in editable mode with the pyboy extra. If uv is not available, fall back to python -m venv + pip. If a checkout already exists (e.g. ~/pokemon-agent with a venv ready), just cd there and source .venv/bin/activate instead of recloning. You also need a ROM file. Ask the user for theirs (a previous setup may already have one at roms/pokemonred.gb inside the checkout). NEVER download or provide ROM files — always ask the user. 2. Start the game serve
