Pokemon Dictionary

------------------------

Pokémon (poke-a-mon or poke-kay-mon)-Pocket Monsters, or

Pokémon for short. Pokémon are monsters who inhabit "Pokemon

Island." They have special or magical attacks which they use against

opponents. A trainer can catch a pokemon, but must first weaken it with their

own monsters. Once the monster is weakened, the trainer can throw

out a pokeball and capture the monster. There are 151 known

pokemon, and there are still more undiscovered ones.

PokéDex- Ash Ketchum has a small handheld computer he uses to get

information on pokemon. Ash's pokédex is named "Dexter" and provides Ash

with the information he needs on pokemon and rules from the Pokémon

League.

Pokéball- A pokéball is a round object. Colored white and red, a Pokéball is

used for capturing pokemon. Once caught, a trainer can keep the Pokemon

he/she has acquired inside the ball.

However, the trainer can only hold 6 pokemon at a time. The rest are kept

where the trainer got their pokédex. (i.e Ash gets his stored pokemon from

Professor Oak.)

Evolution- Almost every pokémon can evolve. Evolution of Pokémon is

changing into another form when a pokemon has gained enough levels

required. For example, a Charmander can evolve into Charmeleon and

Charizard.

GYM- Almost every gym is inhabited by a gym leader. The gym is owned by

the trainer and when a challenger comes along, the trainer must accept his

challenge. The fight takes place on the gym's battlegrounds.

GYM Leader- Each gym leader has its own gym, where challenges come in

and out to fight. If the challenger is able to beat the gym leader, the

challenging trainer will receive a gym badge. These badges are required for

entering the pokemon league.

Badge- A badge is what you receive from GYM trainers. If you collect them

all, you can participate in the Pokemon League festivities.

Pokémon Centre- The place for healing pokémon. If your pokemon is injured

or hungry, this is the place to go.
