Hello there and welcome to the next thread in what I assume will become an annoying fad, Professor Oak's Guide to Training Pokemon. I'm your guide, Professor Oak but some affectionately refer to me as the Pokemon Professor.

I'm sure your asking yourself "Professor, what the hell is a Pokemanz?" Well let me tell you as you get out form under that rock you've been living under for the past 15 years. A Pokemon is a creature that inhabits this world in great numbers. Some people use them for battling, some as pets, but others such as myself research them so that we can one day know everything about these strange yet interesting creatures.

Catching a Pokemon

To catch a Pokemon all you have to do is walk around in the tall grass for a bit and eventually you will encounter a Pokemon. Now, make sure you have a Pokemon of your own such as Charmander or Bulbasuar has it is dangerous to go into the tall grass alone. Anyway once you encounter a Pokemon attack it until you lower it's health enough and throw a Pokeball at it. It may take a few tries but It should work. Remember that status effects make Pokemon easier to catch.

Food

It is uncertain what some Pokemon eat. Though it is known that most will eat either berries, other Pokemon, or both. It is recommended that you don't have Bug types and Flying types out at the same time as most Flying types love eating Bug type Pokemon. Also most Pokemarts sell Pokemon food that all types will eat.

Training Pokemon

If you want to become a Pokemon master you have to train and evolve your Pokemon otherwise they will start losing battles. The most effect way to train Pokemon is through EV training. Effort Values or "EVs" help your Pokemon grow in the stats that would help them best. To help explain EV Training here is my good friend, EV the Eevee.

Hey I saw what you did with that puppet...Uhhg nevermind. Once you have trained to your heart's content [or until your Pokemon reaches level 100] you are ready to participate in battles which brings us to our next topic.

Battling Pokemon

Now this is where the fun begins. Pokemon battles are quite simple. There are several things you need to know such as differences between physical and special attacks, how to use status attacks to your advantage, which Pokemon complement which, and a bunch of other stuff that we [won't] get to later.

The main thing you need to know is about types. Each Pokemon has a type such as Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, etc. It's all very easy to understand. Fire types are weak to Water types, Water types are weak to Electric, etc etc. Here is a list of type match ups between Pokemon.

Misc. info
Some Pokemon can not evolve without evolution stones or until other special requirements are met.
Pokemon can hatch from eggs but the best way to find Pokemon is to catch them. [that helps you fill up your Pokedex]
While your training your Pokemon a terrorist organization might start attacking the region. Don't worry because as a 10 year old you are now an adult and can totally handle taking down a huge organization like that.

Psh you're not credible. You can't remember your own grandson's name nor can you tell the difference between a boy and a girl.
