Introduction

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pokémon Showdown is many things:

- A **web site** you can use for Pokémon battling

  - http://pokemonshowdown.com/

- A **JavaScript library** for simulating Pokémon battles and getting Pokédex data

  - [sim/README.md](./sim/README.md)

- Some **command-line tools** for simulating Pokémon battles (which can be used in non-JavaScript programs)

  - [COMMANDLINE.md](./COMMANDLINE.md)

- A **web API** for the web site for Pokémon battling

  - [pokemon-showdown-client: WEB-API.md](https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown-client/blob/master/WEB-API.md)

- A **game server** for hosting your own Pokémon Showdown community and game modes

  - [server/README.md](./server/README.md)

Pokémon Showdown simulates singles, doubles and triples battles in all the games out so far (Generations 1 through 9).
