The fact that this works in Cursor gives me pure joy. About to spend more time in my IDE for no good reason lol.

This is great! can we add some gamification? - unlock new pokemon after the extension has been installed for a few days - pokemon level up and get new abilities after you have had them a while - eggs + breeding?
Jakob Hoeg
@archie_wood thanks for the great feedback! I have definitely also thought about gamification, however I do feel like it would take away from your coding sessions which isn't ideal and not what I wanted in the first place.

This is way too funny. Why spend time creating tech when one can make creating tech enjoyable? xD
Jakob Hoeg

Hey there! 🎉 Congrats on launching VS Code Pokémon! 🐤🐟🐢 This is such a fun and creative idea to add a bit of nostalgia to coding! 🙌 How do you choose which Pokémon to encounter? 🤔 Can't wait to give it a try and see if I can catch 'em all in my code! 😄 Keep up the great work! Let me know if you have any other cool features planned for future updates. 🌟
Jakob Hoeg
@ihuzaifashoukat Thank you for the kind words! I’ll be adding more Pokemon generations soon

Do you have a plan for releasing this to other IDEs?
