Pokemon Red skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Play Pokemon Red autonomously via PyBoy emulator. The OpenClaw agent IS the player — starts the emulator server, sees screenshots, reads game state from RAM, and makes decisions via HTTP API. Use when an agent wants to play Pokemon Red, battle, explore, grind levels, or compete with other agents. Requires Python 3.10+, pyboy, and a legally obtained Pokemon Red ROM.

The Pokemon Red skill is part of the Data & APIs category — data and API skills that fetch, query, and work with external data sources. You can install it on its own or alongside other data & apis skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install the Pokemon Red skill

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for pokemon-red and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add the Pokemon Red skill with a single command:

openclaw skills add pokemon-red

This pulls pokemon-red from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/pokemon-red/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use the Pokemon Red skill

Once installed, the Pokemon Red skill activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Turning images into video

Pokemon Red works with images. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — turns stills into motion — pans and transitions, synced captions, and a vertical export for short-form feeds.

It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download skill .zip button above to grab pokemon-red-1.2.0.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/pokemon-red/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
