Route 4: The Pokemon League

Image
© 2023 Pokémon. Good morning, night, or mid-day to you. Once again, my name is Gedle Gedleh, and I'm here to show the way. From the very beginning, being the very best was the goal. We understood the Pokemon we passed by. We learned that the first step to becoming the very best is to hone and test our skills by challenging the Pokemon Gyms. Now after all eight, we've made it. To prove you have become your best, to prove you have fought the hardest, to prove you and your Pokemon have come so far, you challenge your biggest obstacle.  Welcome to the Pokemon League.     In the Pokemon League, you will face the Elite Four. These 4 individuals will be masters of typings you have not faced in the gyms. The beginning of the highest level opponents you will face throughout your whole adventure. These battles are not like any other you have faced. If you fought a trainer in a gym, you are able to leave and return with all battle progress saved. However, the Elite Four are another ...

Route 3: Pokemon Gyms

Image
  © 2023 Pokémon. © 1995–2023 Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc. Good morning, night, or mid-day to you. Welcome to Route 3. With the dream of being the very best, we approach a very important location: the Pokemon Gym. Don't worry! We aren't asking you to run or lift weights (however running these battles while being unprepared is something you might wish you could do). In each region, there are eight gym badges to acquire. Here in the Pokemon Gym, your main objective is to beat all required trainers and complete any puzzles before you are allowed to challenge the big boss Gym Leader.  Every gym has a specialized typing.  You might ask, "What gives a gym their typing?" An easy answer is that the gym revolves around its Gym Leader. If the leader's Pokemon has any of the 18 types as a theme, the gym will also follow.   For the example, I will be mentioning the Kanto region (Generation I) and its gyms .  The first gym leader is Brock, The Rock-Solid Pokemon ...

Route 2: Trainer's School

Image
  © 2023 Pokémon. © 1995–2023 Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc. Good morning, night, or mid-day to you. Welcome to the trainer’s school. After walking down Route 1, there is so much to see and so much to learn. There are many different sizes and many different kinds of Pokemon. You might encounter multiple birds, rats, and plants. Although they can look vastly different, they are all closely related by their Type. Every Pokémon has a type; some even have two. This is the backbone of everything around us. As a recap, there are currently 18 types:  Normal, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Ground, Rock, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy . All unique and each typing might have some advantages. In terms of battling, each move has a type, just like Pokemon. Each Pokemon typing has strengths and weaknesses to move types. These can come as "super effective" or do 2x damage, "not very effective" or 1/2x damage, or even ...
