resolved Programming an OCR-tool for encounter tracking

[Kageguru]

I want to write a Python program to track Pokémon encounters using OCR (optical character recognition). I'm not really satisfied with the existing options such as TrackerBee or BetterFarm, so i want to write a small tool myself. This tool should only capture and analyze a small area of the PRO window. What should i pay attention to, to ensure that it is not considered some form of an illegal third-party program, which could get me banned?

I've already written some code, but before i test it, i want to be 100% sure that it won't get me banned.

As long this is just something similiar to what BetterFarm or TrackerBee is, it is fine. As long as it only tracks encounter data and does nothing ingame.
