Pokemon Training

Hello new Pokemon Trainer! To begin your quest in catching ᑭOKéᗰOᑎ, you must first learn the basics of the Pokemon world. To describe every Pokemon and everything you need to know about them, would take far too long. There are 807 Pokemon.

The Types
To simplify, there are different types of Pokemon. Now I don't mean breeds, like Pikachu's and Charmanders. But categories that multiple Pokemon can be put into. There are currently 18 types, and the types are: Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Steel, Normal, Fairy, Dark, Flying, Ghost, Poison, Ice, Ground, Rock, Dragon, Fighting and Bug.

Many Pokemon who are all one type share attacks. A very common Electric type attack is thunderbolt. Almost every electric type can use thunderbolt if they learn it. Many Pokemon's appearance will give a hint at what type it is. Charmander and all of their evolutions have a flame on their tail. That would show a person that they are at least half fire type.

Notice I say 'half'. What I mean by that is, Pokemon can have 2 types, which would make them be called a duo-type. Not every Pokemon is a duo-type, such as Pikachu. Pikachu is a pure Electric type.

Catching Pokemon
Catching Pokemon can be difficult if you do not have a starter one of your own. There are many starter Pokemon. There are sets of three and you can choose only one starter. Each starter trio(called a generation) has a Grass type, a Fire type, and a Water type.

Here are the starter Pokemon:


 * Bulbasaur, Charmander,or Squirtle
 * Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile
 * Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip.
 * Turtwig, Chimchar, or Piplup
 * Snivy,Tepig, or Oshawott.
 * Chespin, Fennekin, or Froakie
 * Rowlet, Litten, or Popplio
 * Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble

You cannot chose one from each generation. You have to choose just one out of all starters.

Here are the appearances of the starters(top row is grass type, second row is fire type, and third row is water type. First column is gen 1, second column is gen 2, etc.): After you choose your starter Pokemon, you are free to go out and catch other Pokemon! In order to catch other Pokemon, you must battle them with your own starter. Or, if you find one that is docile, if you earn its trust, you can catch it by holding out an empty Poké-ball and wait for the Pokemon to accept. If it accepts, it will touch the Poké-ball and be taken inside.
