PokemonPP Battles

Pokemon has been in many of our childhoods, from the games to just the TV show, the concept of the franchise has captivated the minds of children for over a decade. And with the newest game in the franchise coming out in November, I thought this would be a good time to talk about the games and how their bosses worked with them.

Pokemon Red/Blue: 1996

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl: 2006

For those who have not played before, the way to advance is to catch Pokemon, train them, and battle your way to the champion to take the title. You have to first beat the eight gym leaders in the region, the farther in the game you are, the harder they get. Each gym leader uses a specific type of Pokemon such as fire, water, dark, etc. Once you defeat all eight gym leaders, you can now challenge the elite four. An even more challenging ordeal, you must fight four difficult to defeat bosses in a row in order to challenge the champion. This means that there is no Poke-centers to heal your Pokemon or computers to switch the ones you've lost. The elite four also follow the one type rule and specialize in that type. And after all that you have to beat the champion who is the strongest in the game.

Champions don't have a special type which at first makes them unpredictable. The challenge truly makes it worth it when you beat them and get to claim the title of new champion. And that is something I quite enjoy from these games, becoming the best by using a team I made. And that is all, if you liked any of the games which gym leaders, elite four, or champions have you enjoyed?
