Pokemon Battle

Something that is in every single Pokemon Game is the Pokemon Battle. This has been the main focus of all the Pokemon games. I'm going to just tell you about the basics of this function of the games.

Before a Pokemon battle starts, the Pokemon at the top of your list in RBY and GSC, or the top left of your list in FRLG, RSE, and DPPt, is the one that will be sent out automatically. After this you get the choice of four Menu Items:

• Fight
• Pokemon
• Bag
• Run

Fight: When you choose this option it shows the list of attacks that your current Pokemon knows, they will have up to four.

Pokemon: This option allows you to switch out for other Pokemon in your party and view any stats or attacks they might have.

Bag: Your bag is full of handy items you can use during your Pokemon Battle. They range from Potions, to restore HP, to X(stat)s which help boost your Pokemon's certain stat for the duration of the battle.

Run: You can't use this option when your in a Trainer Battle, but when it's against a wild Pokemon, you can discontinue the fight.

The main purpose of a Pokemon battle is to try to knock out the other Pokemon, or make them faint. You do this by using damage-inflicting attacks that your Pokemon may have. The stronger the Pokemon the more damage it will do, but if the other Pokemon is also stronger, the less damage it will do.
You can also use stat-changing moves. These can change a Pokemon's speed, lower their attack, or even heighten their defense. It all depends on the specific move.
The last kind of move is the status inflicting move. These are some of the best because they can burn, poison, paralyze, freeze, confuse and cause the other Pokemon to sleep.

Those are all the very basics of the Pokemon Battle. I hope you've enjoyed this.
