	'''Pokémon''' (Full name Pocket Monsters but no-one cares about that) is a multimedia franchise made by Nintendo that for a fair amount of the late 90s and part of the early 2000s was more popular ~~then~~ God, Haribo and Cadbury chocolate combined. Using a bunch of pocket monsters (whose primary weapon against the fanbase was an almost illegal level of cuteness) you would battle another trainer with his own little monsters until yours made his faint and you'd win the game!

	Pokémon are various brightly colored anime creatures that resemble real world animals, birds, sea creatures, plants, mythical beings, and even inanimate objects, often with an added elemental theme (for example Charmander, a fire type lizard Pokémon, has bright red skin and a tail with it's tip constantly alight). Each Pokémon species has a name that is often a pun on what it is or looks like (Or in Japan, just a relevant English word its based on. Seriously, there's shit like "Rat" and "Big Rat".) and will have a variety of powerful abilities to use. Pokémon and their attacks come in 18 different types, determining how effective attacks are. Attacks can do double damage, quad damage (if a Pokémon has two types that share a weakness), half damage or no damage: if an attack falls in none of these categories it does normal damage. Attacks are either Physical or Special: Physical attacks involve physically hitting the opponent through bites, slashes, or slams, while Special are projectiles, blasts, beams or streams of a particular type. When calculating attack power and the defense against an attack it uses either Attack and Defense or Special Attack and Special Defense. This is done via a formula that's way too large to comfortably do by hand, but it's not an issue for the games.

	Pokémon are often described as friendly and eager to battle to test out their abilities, which is perfect for trainers as they don't have to try to force their Pokémon into battling because [[Khorne\|they are all eager for it themselves]]! There's a ''lot'' of the buggers too: as of writing there are '''~~1008~~''' of them not including alternate forms, regional variants, differences caused by sexual dimorphism, mega evolutions and what have you (so don't expect a fully comprehensive list here). This means that there's at least a few amongst them that you'll like and allow you to build a team that's just perfect for you. This is also a point of critique: people will claim that it all went to shit at Generation X, often claiming that Generation 1 is the only good one.

	*'''Confused''': Indicated by flipping your card 180°. If you want to attack or retreat you will have to flip a coin. If it heads, everything is fine. If it tails your retreat fails, or if it tried to attack it deals 20 damage to itself and the attack fails.

Sleeping, paralysis, and confusion on the other hand cancel each other out as soon as the Pokémon gets a new status. So you can only be sleeping '''or''' paralyzed '''or''' confused.

	It started off as a game where you would journey around the world and "try to catch 'em all" (the 'cool' catchphrase of the series). Through a combination of the aforementioned charm, ability to raise your own poke-pets in the game, the surprisingly deep strategic elements, and the drugs they put in the cartridges it quickly spawned a whole host of sequels, a trading card game, several comics, a TV series, and a bunch of movies. Nowadays trying to "catch 'em all" is something best left for people with OCD, as there are well over 1000 Pokémon in existence. It's not as wildly popular it used to be, but it's still got quite a large fanbase, especially in Japan.

If you have any further questions about the video games that aren't based directly on the card games, go to [[/vp/]] . Yes, [[4chan]] has an entire board dedicated to Pokémon, it's that fucking popular.

	The Pokémon TCG is a [[Card Game\|collectible card game]] based on the existing video games. It was originally released in 1998 by [[Wizards of the Coast]] during the great "Pokémon Craze" associated with the release of the original games and TV show when they started in Japan and then broke out of Asia into the west. Once wildly popular, it has declined over the years. It is still quite fun and funny if you can find friends to play it with. If you can't get over the fact that it's Pokémon-themed, I pity you... although it's highly unlikely you have friends that can get over the fact that it's Pokémon-themed. If you can't find such, play the two simulators released for the Gameboy. Or, alternatively, play the official online client for free. It's actually not terrible, and buying physical cards will give you a code to redeem them in the game where they can be traded with other players.
