Pokemon 101
What are Pokemon? Pokemon come I all shapes and sizes. Each Pokemon has one or two types of moves (such as Grass, Fire or Water) which it uses in battle. Pokemon also develop their own personalities, likes and dislikes - just like humans do. Pokemon and humans have learned to live and work together in harmony to create a better life for all.

Pokemon grow and evolve in different ways. When Pokemon travel with a Pokemon trainer, they gain experience from battling other Pokemon and other trainers. Pokemon can also gain experience by staying at the Pokemon daycare, but nothing beats first-hand battle experience. All Pokemon have one or two innate element types. Pokemon types reflect the strengths and weaknesses as well as the environments they originated from. For example Fire-type Pokemon are often found near hot environments, excel in fire-type moves and are weak against Water-type moves. If you know what type of Pokemon your opponent is using, it is usually a good strategy to use the opposing type. Gym leaders and trainers always use one or two Pokemon types. Like most creatures, Pokemon live in environments suited to their needs. A skilled Pokemon trainer will search everywhere for Pokemon and learn where to find different types. Some Pokemon are more elusive than others. You will need key items such as a fishing pole to catch some Pokemon.

Starting out in the game you find yourself transformed into a Pokemon! After taking a Pokemon personality test the form of your Pokemon will be revealed. Washed ashore on the beach a fellow Pokemon is beside you asking for your help in finding lost treasure. You can form rescue teams to discover the mystery around your transformation as you hunt for lost treasure along the way. Explore this fantastic land untouched by human hands as you join hundreds of Pokemon in randomly-generated dungeons.
