It's unclear to me what this emacs script actually does. I wish there was more documentation for anything that someone asks you to install into your core development environment.

If you look at the code it just adds monster names to the modeline buffer.

The author should state that simple fact on the repo's front page.

I'm amazed at how quickly Pokémon have taken over the world. The stories, the hype, the crazy projects, they're everywhere.

I wonder what it's like for the developers to work on a project and then see it succeed like that.

Pokemon was a big phenomenon in the late 90s. So the latest interest is really building on a solid foundation established 15 years ago. I'm sure each new game would have helped pull in new fans too.
