Welcome to the world of Pokémon, a special place where people just like you train to become the number-one Pokémon Master in the world! But what is a Pokémon, you ask? "Pokémon are incredible creatures that share the world with humans," says Professor Oak, the leading authority on these monsters. "There are currently 150 documented species of Pokémon."And your incredible task is to capture, train, and fight with all of them! It's not easy, but once you get the hang of it, you'll know exactly which Pokémon to choose for a battle. On your way to the top, you'll perfect your skills by using your Pokémon to fight against other Pokémon trainers. Each Pokémon has its own special fighting abilities. Though they come in many shapes and sizes, even the smallest Pokémon can launch a fierce attack. Some Pokémon grow, or evolve, into even more powerful creatures. But don't worry-even your toughest Pokémon will be loyal to you! Carry your Pokémon with you, and you're ready for anything! You've got the power in your hands, so use it!
