| ==Collecting and playing== | |||
| The concept of the ''Pokémon'' universe, in both the video games and the general fictional world of ''Pokémon'', stems from the hobby of ], a popular pastime which ''Pokémon'' executive director Satoshi Tajiri had enjoyed as a child.<ref> "," ''TimeAsia'' (]).</ref> Players of the games are designated as ]s, and the two general goals (in most ''Pokémon'' games) for such Trainers are: to complete the ] by collecting all of the available Pokémon species found in the fictional region where that game takes place; and to train a team of powerful Pokémon from those they have caught to compete against teams owned by other Trainers, and eventually become the strongest Trainer, the Pokémon Master. These themes of collecting, training, and battling are present in almost every version of the ''Pokémon'' franchise, including the ], the ] and manga series, and the ]. | |||
| In most incarnations of the fictional ''Pokémon'' universe, a Trainer that encounters a wild Pokémon is able to capture that Pokémon by throwing a specially designed, mass-producible tool called a ] at it. If the Pokémon is unable to escape the confines of the Poké Ball, that Pokémon is officially considered under the ownership of that Trainer, and it will obey whatever commands its new master and/or friend (depending on how that trainer treats Pokémon in general) issues to it from that point onward, unless the Trainer demonstrates enough of a lack of experience that the Pokémon would rather act on its own accord. Trainers can send out any of their Pokémon to wage non-lethal battles against Pokémon; if the opposing Pokémon is wild, the Trainer can capture that Pokémon with a Poké Ball, increasing his or her collection of creatures. (Pokémon already owned by other Trainers cannot be captured, except under special circumstances in certain games.) If a Pokémon fully defeats an opponent in battle so that the opponent is knocked out ("faints"), the winning Pokémon gains experience and may ]. When leveling up, the Pokémon's statistics ("]") of battling aptitude increase, including Attack, Speed, and so on. From time to time the Pokémon may also learn new ], which are techniques used in battle. In addition, many species of Pokémon possess the ability to undergo a form of ] and transform into a similar but stronger species of Pokémon, a process called ]. | |||
| In the main series, each game's single-player mode requires the Trainer to raise a team of Pokémon to defeat many ] (NPC) Trainers and their Pokémon. Each game lays out a somewhat linear path through a specific region of the Pokémon world for the Trainer to journey through, completing events and battling opponents along the way. Each game features eight especially powerful Trainers, referred to as Gym Leaders, that the Trainer must each defeat in order to progress. As a reward, the Trainer receives a Gym Badge, and once all eight badges are collected, that Trainer is eligible to challenge the region's Pokémon League, where four immensely talented trainers (referred to collectively as the "Elite Four") challenge the Trainer to four Pokémon battles in succession. If the trainer can overcome this gauntlet, he or she must then challenge the Regional Champion, the master Trainer who had previously defeated the Elite Four. Any Trainer who wins this last battle becomes the new champion and gains the title of Pokémon Master. | |||

| ===Generations===<!--Please don't delete/rename this header as it is linked to from a number of places.--> | |||
| The original Pokémon games were Japanese ] with an element of strategy, and were created by Satoshi Tajiri for the ]. These role-playing games, and their sequels, remakes, and English language translations, are still considered the "main" Pokémon games, and the games which most fans of the series are referring to when they use the term "Pokémon games." | |||
| All of the licensed Pokémon properties overseen by ] are divided roughly by generation. These generations are roughly ] divisions by release; every several years, when an official sequel in the main RPG series is released that features new Pokémon, characters, and gameplay concepts, that sequel is considered the start of a new generation of the franchise. The main games and their spin-offs, the anime, the manga, and the trading card game are all updated with the new Pokémon properties each time a new generation begins. The franchise is currently in its fourth generation. | |||

| The Pokémon franchise started off in its first generation with its initial release of ] ("Red" and "Green", respectively) for the ] in Japan. When these games proved extremely popular, an enhanced ''Ao'' ("Blue") version was released sometime after, and the ''Ao'' version was reprogrammed as ] for international release. The games launched in the United States on September 30, ]. The original ''Aka'' and ''Midori'' versions were never released outside of Japan.<ref> ''gamefaqs.com'' URL Accessed February 23, 2007</ref> Afterwards, a further enhanced remake titled '']'' was released to partially take advantage of the color palette of the ], as well as to feature more elements from the popular ]. This first generation of games introduced the original 151 species of Pokémon (in ] order, encompassing all Pokémon from ] to ]), as well as the basic game concepts of capturing, training, battling, and trading Pokémon with both computer and human players. These versions of the games take place within the fictional ] ], though the name "Kanto" was not used until the second generation. | |||

| The second generation of Pokémon began in ] with the release of ] for ]. Like the previous generation, an enhanced remake titled '']'' was later released. It introduced 100 new species of Pokémon (starting with ] and ending with ]), for a total of 251 Pokémon to collect, train, and battle.

| ] screenshot featuring an enemy ] and ] fighting in a double battle against a player's ] and ].]] | |||
| ''Pokémon'' entered its third generation with the ] release of ] for ] and continued with the Game Boy Advance remakes of ''Pokémon Red and Blue'', ], and an enhanced remake of ''Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire'' titled '']''. The third generation introduced 135 new Pokémon (starting with ] and ending with ]) for a total of 386 species. However, this generation also garnered some criticism for leaving out several gameplay features, including the day-and-night system introduced in the previous generation, and it was also the first installment that encouraged the player to collect merely a selected assortment of the total number of Pokémon rather than every existing species (202 out of 386 species are catchable in the ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' versions). | |||
| In ], Japan began the fourth generation of the franchise with the release of ] for Nintendo DS. The fourth generation introduces another 107 new species of Pokémon (starting with ] and ending with ]), bringing the current total of Pokémon species to 493. The ] "touch screen" allows new features to the game such as cooking poffins with the stylus and using the "Pokétch". New gameplay concepts include a restructured ]-classification system, online multiplayer trading and battling via ], the return (and expansion) of the second generation's day-and-night system, the expansion of the third generation's Pokémon Contests into "Super Contests," and the new region of ], which has an underground component for multiplayer gameplay in addition to the main overworld. Currently, spin-off titles in the fourth generation include the ''Pokémon Stadium'' follow-up '']'' for ] (which has Wi-Fi connectivity as well<ref>"" ''Cubed3.com''. URL Accessed ], ].</ref>) | |||
| ===Game mechanics=== | |||
| {{main|Pokémon game mechanics}} | |||
| ====Starter Pokémon==== | |||
| One of the consistent aspects of the ] – spanning from ] on the ] to the ] game, ] – is the choice of one of three different Pokémon at the start of the player's adventures; these three are often labeled "starter Pokémon." Players can choose a ], a ], or a ]. <ref name=spy> ''Gamespy.com''. URL Accessed ], ].</ref> For example, in ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'', the player has the choice of starting with ], ], or ]. The exception to this rule is ''Pokémon Yellow'' (a remake of the original games that follows the story of the '']''), where players are given a ], an ] mouse Pokémon, famous for being the mascot of the Pokémon media franchise; in this game, however, the three starter Pokémon from ''Red'' and ''Blue'' can be obtained during the quest by a single player, something that is not possible in any other installment of the franchise.<ref> ''Ign.com''. URL accessed on ], ].</ref> | |||
| Another consistent aspect is that the player's rival will always choose as his or her starter Pokémon the one that has a type advantage over the player's Pokémon. For instance, if the player picks grass-type Bulbasaur, the rival will always pick fire-type Charmander. Of course, the exception to this is again ''Pokémon Yellow'', in which the rival picks an ], but whether this Eevee evolves into ], ], or ] is decided by when the player wins and loses to the rival. | |||
| ====Pokédex==== | |||
| {{Main|Pokédex}} | |||
| The ] is a fictional electronic device featured in the ''Pokémon'' ] and ] series. In the games, whenever a Pokémon is first captured, its data will be added to a player's Pokédex, but in the anime or ], the Pokédex is a comprehensive electronic reference encyclopedia, usually referred to in order to deliver ]. "Pokédex" is also used to refer to a list of Pokémon, usually a list of Pokémon by number. | |||
| In the video games, a ] is issued a blank device at the start of their journey. A trainer must then attempt to fill the Pokédex by encountering and at least briefly obtaining each of the various different species of Pokémon. A player will receive the name and image of a Pokémon after encountering one that was not previously in the Pokédex, typically after battling said Pokémon, either in the wild or in a trainer battle (with the exceptions of link battles and tournament battles, such as in the ]). In Pokémon Red and Blue, some Pokémon's data is added to the Pokedex simply by viewing the Pokémon, such as in the zoo outside of the Safari zone. Also, certain NPC characters may add to the Pokédex by explaining what a Pokémon looks like during conversation. More detailed information is available after the player obtains a member of the species, either through capturing the Pokémon in the wild, evolving a previously captured Pokémon, hatching a Pokémon egg (from the second generation onwards), or through a trade with another trainer (either an NPC or another player). This information includes height, weight, species type, and a short description of the Pokémon. Later versions of the Pokédex have more detailed information, like the size of a certain Pokémon compared to the player character, or Pokémon being sorted by their habitat (so far, the latter feature is only in the ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'' versions). The ] games, ] and ], have a Pokémon Digital Assistant (P{{Unicode|★}}DA) which is similar to the Pokédex, but also tells what types are effective against a Pokémon and gives a description of its abilities. | |||

Accompanying Ash on his journeys are ], the ] Gym Leader, and ], the youngest of the Gym Leader sisters from ]. | |||
| ''Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands'' follows Ash's adventures in the Orange Islands, a place unique to the anime, and replaces Brock with ], an artist and "Pokémon watcher." The next series, based on the second generation of games, include ''Pokémon: Johto Journeys'', ''Pokémon: Johto League Champions'', and ''Pokémon: Master Quest'', following the original trio of Ash, Brock, and Misty in the western ] region. | |||
| ] ]] | |||
| The saga continues in ''Pokémon: Advanced'', ''Pokémon: Advanced Challenge'', and ''Pokémon: Advanced Battle'', based on the third generation games. Ash and company travel to ], a southern region in the Pokémon World. Ash takes on the role of a teacher and mentor for a novice Pokémon trainer named ]. Her brother ] accompanies them, and though he isn't a trainer, he knows large amounts of handy information. Brock (from the original series) soon catches up with Ash, but Misty has returned to Cerulean City to tend to her duties as a gym leader. (Misty, along with other recurring characters, appears in the spin-off series '']''.) The Advanced Generation concludes with the ''Battle Frontier'' saga, based off the ''Emerald'' version and including aspects of ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen''. | |||
| The most recent series is the ''Diamond and Pearl'' series, with Max leaving to pick his starter Pokémon, and May going to the Grand Festival in Johto. Ash, Brock and a new companion named ] travel through the region of ]. The series was released in the US in a special hour block on April 20, 2007. | |||
