Pokemon

Pokemon is a game where you go around catching creatures called pokemon and battle other trainers to become the champion

Pokemon Battles are turn based combat, the faster pokemon attacks first - you can attack, use an item, swap your current pokemon or run(not from trainer battles though)

Each Pokemon Game has a different Gimmick - X/Y has Mega Evolutions, Sun/Moon have Z-Moves and Sword/Shield has Dynamax/Gigantamax

Most Pokemon have evolutions which make them stronger whilst some dont evolve at all but are strong as if they were the final or second stage of a pokemon evolution line
