An introduction to Prolog using Pokémon as a teaching example. Prolog is a logic programming language suited for defining facts and rules, then querying them — similar to a specialized database. Using Pokémon characters like Bulbasaur and Squirtle, the tutorial demonstrates how to express types, traits, and relationships as Prolog facts and rules, making it easy to query for matches. The post also notes some omissions like the cut operator and backtracking, and links to related content on mixing C with Prolog.
