Pokemon for Beginners Part 1

Getting Started.

   Pokemon is a fighting strategy game inhabited by creatures called Pokemon (short for Pocket Monster), these creatures are the center of whole game, they have different typings depending on the Pokemon and these typings have strenghts and weaknesses, as you advance through the game your Pokemons will grow stronger and the challenges as well, the whole point of the game is simply to: 

   a) Beat the Pokemon Gym Challenge, in which you'll have to travel the region meeting new Pokemons, trainers and cities, find the Gyms and beat their leaders in order to recieve a badge showing that you conquered that Gym, each reagion has 8 Gyms and each one is completly different from the others.

   b) Beat your Rival, along your travel you will have a Rival, he or she battles you along the way to test your skills and try to beat you.

   c) Defeat the Bad Guys, each reagion has a Bad team which plans to rule the world or conquer the Region, whichever their master plan is, your job as the protagonist is to defeat them by eventually beating their Leader.

   d) Become the Champion of your Region, once you clear the Pokemon Gym Challenge and you defeat the Bad Guys you can go to the Pokemon League and take on the Elite Four, these Trainers are among the best Trainers in the Region, and after you defeat them you are handed with the most difficult fight of the League, the Champion once you defeat him / her, you are available to do the after game.

   Now, the after game is a subject not in the basics of the game, so I'll be covering the subject on a later article.

   So now you know what your objective is let's explain what are the real basics of the game. Tomorrow we will focus on Part 2
