What is Pokémon?

Anyway, let's get on to the good stuff, the actual newsletter. Pokemon is a Nintendo game for Game Boy in which you collect pocket monsters and use them to fight other trainers. It is an role playing game where you travel to different cities and fight the local gym leader's pokemon. But pokemon is so much more than that, you have to solve puzzles, and train your pokemon to grow stronger or evolve. One of the reasons why it is so popular is because in order to catch all of them you must trade with a friend.

In the beginning of the game, you choose your starting pokemon from Professor Oak at Pallet Town. You can choose from a Bulbasaur, Charmander, or a Squirtle. You cannot have all three! You have to trade with a friend to get all of them. When you get your pokémon, you can fight other pokemon and try to capture them. You goals are to collect all 150 of them and beat the Elite Four to become a Pokemon Master.
