Also, there are types like Fire, water, psycick, ice, ground, plant, bug, fighting, normal, and maybe 1 more....?? Oh yea. Rock. Pokemon can be pure normal, like Persian or be inhanced with a TM like Bubblebeam and be both Normal and Water! Certin types are weak agains others, and some arn't. Like Rock is weak against Water and Fire is weak against Water. There are Gym leaders: Brock, Misty, Erika, SABRINA!!!, Giovanni, Koga, Sg. Surge, ect and each gym specializes in ONE type of pokemon. Like Brock's gym in Pewter city is A Rck pokemon gym, and Misty's gym in Crealuene City is Water-type, Erika's gym in Cerulen City is Plant, and Sabrina in Saffron is psycick pokemon (How the hell to you spell Psycick??)......what else? All pokemon are to replace real animals in this world like Growlithes are dogs, Meowths are Cats, ect.... Also, one more thing! There is a team of evil pokemon burglers (people who steal pokemon) called Team Rocket. The known members are Jessie and James (Team 1), Butch and Cassidy(Team 2) , Mondo (trainee?) , and Giovanni the gym leader! Jessie + James are most common members seen in the TV show and are always after Ash's Pikachu. I hope they succeeed someday!!! GO TEAM ROCKET!!!
