A cozy pixel-art companion garden for Hermes Desktop with three starters, nicknames, fetch, berries, XP, and optional evolution through all nine starter forms. The companion keeps you company on long turns, reacts quietly to failures, to what Hermes is doing and to turns finishing in other chats, and lives through seasons with real day length and moon phases, offline showers, wild visitors it greets in character, old-friend cameos, keepsakes, milestones that leave a bench, a lantern and bunting in the garden, and a sapling that grows with the days. Reachable from the keyboard, the status bar and the command palette. Independent fan project bundling CHUNSOFT Pokémon sprites and SpriteCollab community contributions; artwork is excluded from the source-code MIT license. Uses local plugin storage and read-only session activity, with no runtime network requests, credentials, backend, or model calls.

## Good to know before installing

Independent fan project bundling CHUNSOFT Pokémon sprites and SpriteCollab contributions that are excluded from the MIT code license; reads session busy state and message-complete/tool-start/tool-complete events read-only (other chats contribute only "a turn finished"), focuses the composer (caret only, no text) or reveals its own pane only on a user click or command, saves a PNG snapshot to your downloads only when you click Save a snapshot, and keeps companion state in plugin storage; no network or model calls.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install hermes-pokemon
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-pokemon
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
