KiraTally

A Global, Hotkey-Driven Shiny Counter for Pokémon (3rd Gen). KiraTally is a lightweight, background-running counter designed to track shiny hunting resets. It eliminates the "false positives" of visual-based counters.

Project structure

• main.py: root launcher entrypoint.
• src/kiratally_app.py: app implementation.
• assets/logo.png: window/app logo source.
• assets/logo.ico: exe icon source.
• assets/gen3/*_shiny.png: bundled shiny sprites.
• assets/gen3/gen3_names.json: bundled autocomplete names.

Current behavior

• Fixed-size window UI.
• Pokemon input accepts Dex number (1-386) or Gen3 name.
• Autocomplete loads locally from bundled assets/gen3/gen3_names.json.
• Sprite preview is shiny-only (*_shiny.png).
• No runtime sprite downloads.

Reset Input

• Field starts empty and shows placeholder: Input hotkey and press Enter...
• Single-key keyboard inputs work (examples: space, z, r).
• Combo keyboard inputs work (examples: ctrl+r, ctrl+shift+r).
• Controller input works on Windows via built-in XInput (examples: pad:rb, pad:a, pad:dpad_up, pad:lb+rb).

Supported controller tokens:

• face: a, b, x, y, cross, circle, square, triangle
• shoulder: lb, rb, l1, r1
• system: start, back, select, options, share, plus, minus
• sticks: l3, r3
• dpad: dpad_up, dpad_down, dpad_left, dpad_right
• raw: button0 ... button9
