I've never played Pokemon Options

What is Pokemon? I've seen some things on TV about it. There's a yellow thingy and the characters have weird faces.



I'm guessing it's a cartoon but there's a pokemon game? Erm??

I'm guessing Anime isn't a big thing in Belgium either since you said weird faces.

Hmmm, Pokemon first started out as a game for the Gameboy, then it turned into a television show for kids. I remember I got my first Gameboy and Pokemon blue when I was in 6th grade. I was so happy! Well anywho.

There's two purposes in the game, or in the show. You can either be a master by capturing all 151 (original) or 493 (current) Pokemon. Or you can train the ones that you've captured to become stronger. It depends on your goals. Although mostly in order to accomplish all tasks it's good to have multiple numbers of Pokemon.

You can carry 6 Pokemon at a time. By battling other Pokemon with yours you gain experience and level up making your Pokemon stronger. By leveling up you gain different techniques which aid you in becoming a Pokemon master. You can set different types of techniques and develop better strategy to defeat your opponents. Once a Pokemon reaches a certain level, it can evolve into an even powerful form. Aside from just battling other opponents in the game, you can link up with your buddy and battle them as well. This is where the real world tournaments come into play. (I play Pokemon on a professional level)

Personally I love Pokemon and to this day is one of my longest surviving hobbies, however I don't like the idea behind it since it promotes animal cruelties in ways (cockfighting, etc.)
