How to Play
Your main goal is to become the Pokémon League Champion by defeating the Elite Four and the current Champion. You start by choosing one of three starter Pokémon—Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle—and then journey across the Kanto region. As you explore towns, routes, and caves, you'll encounter wild Pokémon. Use Poké Balls to capture them and build a diverse team. Engage in turn-based battles with wild Pokémon and other trainers; select moves from your Pokémon's known attacks to reduce the opponent's HP while managing your own team's health and status conditions. Early on, focus on capturing a variety of types to cover weaknesses. Mid-game, train your team evenly and use type advantages in battles. In tense moments, such as Gym Leader fights, plan your moves carefully and keep healing items handy. Progress requires defeating the eight Gym Leaders to earn badges, which allow you to use HM moves outside of battle and access new areas.
