Test my tool out on just a few Pokemon:
make test
First, grab whichever Pokemon you want:
# "Only the original 151 were real Pokemon!"
make gen1or
# "I only like games evenly divisible by two!"
make gen2
make gen4
make gen6or
# "Only Pikachu and Raichu, please!"
./get_gifs.sh 25 26Then, POST the GIFs to Slack, using a tool such as https://github.com/smashwilson/slack-emojinator
git clone https://github.com/smashwilson/slack-emojinator.git
cd slack-emojinator
