What are Pokemon? First, it's pronounce POH-KAY-MON. Pokemon are small monsters that
can be captured and tamed to become pets, guardians, or companions. Though your world is
filled with the creatures, there are still many left to be captured and studied. As the
mysteries of the Pokemon are slowly unraveled, the population of the Pokemon have been
steadily rising and the monsters are becoming more aggressive.
Now is your chance to become a Pokemon Trainer and possibly achieve the highest title of
all: a Pokemon Master! However, you have a long road ahead of you. Though your first
Pokemon is given to you, you must root out and capture the rest of the 150 monsters. Your
Pokemon will do all the work in capturing the wild Pokemon, but you must train and raise
them. You will also face other Pokemon Trainers, who will challenge you to friendly and
not-so-friendly matches. You will also find other Pokemon Trainers, who are not looking
for trouble, but itching for a good Pokemon trade. Professor Oak, a Pokemon Expert, will
give you everything you need to get started. Good Luck!
You are setting out on a
long journey to become the world's greatest Pokemon master. You can't do it alone, so be
sure to search out other friendly trainers.
