In plain English

PokeLike Bot is a free Windows desktop tool that automates playing PokeLike, a browser based game, by controlling one or more Chrome browser windows for you. Instead of clicking through runs by hand, the bot opens the game, starts a run based on settings you choose, and makes the reroll and progression decisions for you as the run plays out. To use it, you download a ready made program file, open it, log into PokeLike inside the browser window the bot controls, then pick a mode, a starting choice, a target such as a story region or a weekly challenge, and how many browser windows to run at once, before pressing start. The bot can run full playthroughs, or focus on rerolling for a shiny Pokemon, a specific Pokemon from a list you set, or particular items. It supports different game modes, including story progression, battle tower, and daily or weekly challenges, and can chain a sequence of these goals automatically using a task schedule, so it might finish one daily challenge, then a weekly challenge, then keep repeating a story mode target for extra progress without you changing settings between runs. While it runs, a control panel shows live statistics such as how long it has been running, how many attempts it has made, in game currency earned per hour, and how many rare or shiny Pokemon it has seen. It also keeps a history of past runs with details like earnings, final team, and rare encounters. The bot follows a fixed set of priorities when deciding which Pokemon or items to keep: shiny and legendary Pokemon and anything on your whitelist come first, followed by certain preferred types, before falling back to whatever else is available. Item choices work the same way, using separate priority lists for starting items and regular rewards that you can edit yourself. The packaged version checks for and installs newer releases automatically on startup.
