GAME MANUAL:
NOTE: If this is your first time playing the game, please do not choose the 'LOAD GAME'
option on the home screen. Our game includes a save feature so that you can load a
previously saved game; however, it causes bugs if you try to load a game but have not
saved a game yet. Please choose the 'NEW GAME' option the first time you play.
This is a game of collecting and battling Pokemon; creatures who inhabit our
mysterious World. You start out with one such Pokemon, Pikachu, to help in your
adventure. Walk around but tread carefully, for you may startle a wild Pokemon who
inhabit the wild grass. Use your Pokemon to battle your way through wild Pokemon and
other trainers like you to get stronger. Grow your team of Pokemon to eventually
defeat the Pokemon Gym leader in the final town to truly test your skills. If you
struggle along the way, always remember that you can go to the red-roofed Pokecenter
to heal your team and continue your adventure. Simply talk to the lovely nurse behind
the desk. If your entire team becomes unable to fight, you will find yourself at the
Pokecenter with a fully healed team, but watch out because all of the experience your
Pokemon have earned will be lost! Also, do not forget to take a nice break to go
fishing by approaching the water and pressing space bar.
CONTROLS:
Move around the map and menus with the arrow keys.
Enter the in-game menu by pressing 'p'.
While in the in-game menu, you can view your party of Pokemon, save your game, exit
the in-game menu, and quit the game.
Enter all player choices by clicking the SPACEBAR. This includes both choosing menu
options, battle scenes, and also in-game character options as well.
BATTLE SEQUENCE:
When you enter a battle, your first Pokemon will fight for you.
You and your opponent take turns choosing attacks to fight each other.
If either Pokemon has its health decreased to 0, then it is knocked out.
If you wish to leave a battle, you may chosse the 'run' option to escape. Be careful,
because this might not always work and you leave yourself open to an opponent attack.
You may also choose to switch your current fighting Pokemon for another Pokemon in
your party by choosing the 'Pokemon' option.
You may expand your party to include up to 6 Pokemon. When you are fighting a Pokemon,
you may choose the 'bag' option to attempt to catch a Pokemon and add it to your
party. This works better the lower the health of the Pokemon is you are trying to
catch.
Whichever trainer or wild Pokemon which defeats all of the Pokemon belonging to the
other party will win the battle, ending the bettle sequence.
When your Pokemon defeats another Pokemon, it will gain experience relative to how
high of a level the defeated Pokemon has. If you gain enough experience, your Pokemon
will level up and maybe even learn a new move!
NOTE: The battle information is outputted to the terminal, so make sure you are
checking information about the battle there!
