Pokémon II

Let's continue with Pokémon. Today I am going to explain how does the game work and its evolution trough the years.
We call 'First Generation' to the games Pokémon Red, Blue, Green and Yellow Edition. In this generation there were 151 pokémon species, which could have one or two of the following types: Fire, Water, Grass, Bug, Ghost, Dragon, Psychic, Normal, Fighting, Flying, Rock, Ground, Electric, Poison and Ice. Each pokémon can have advantages or disadvantages over other types depending on its. For example, Grass type is strong against Rock, Water and Ground Types, but it's really weak against Ice, Bug, Fire and Flying types.

The Second Generation (Gold, Silver and Crystal Edition] introduced 100 more pokémon and new types Dark and Steel. It introduced more novelties as weather changes, time, days and nights and the chance to obtain rare pokémon with unusual colours, named as shinies.
Sapphire, Ruby and Esmerald form the Third Generation.
We have two important novelties in this generation: Nature and Ability.
Since this generation, each pokémon as a nature and an ability.
The Nature is some kind of personality that affects to your pokémon's stats. For example, a Bold nature will decrease your pokémon's attack, but it will improve its physical defense. There are some neutral natures too, like Bashful and Quirky,  that will not improve nor decrease any of the stats.
Each pokémon has an Ability too, that can be useful in or out of fighting and can develop a special skill or condition. For example: Eelektross is an Electric type, so he is  weak against Ground type. But Eelektross' ability is 'Levitate', so it never touches the ground and can't be damaged by this type.
Abilities can also modify some stats in special conditions. For example, Marvle Scale gives +50% pshysical defense if the pokémon is suffering poisoning, burns or it's frozen.
For me, the introduction of Nature and Ability is the most important change because from this generation, it's possible to build strategies using them or to catch special pokémon with unusual features.
The Fourth Generation (Diamond, Pearl and Platinum Edition) brings 100 new pokémon, new abilities, new moves and another important change: Moves do not depend of the type anymore.
Before, a water type move always was a 'special attack', but in this generation, water moves can also hit physically.
Pokémon Black and White Edition and Black 2 and White 2 (5th Generation) came out with a change in its story: for first time, the rival team, in this case, Team Plasma, asks for first time if it is ethical to catch wild pokémon and to use them to fight, and they pretend to release all pokémon in the world, no matter the bond that they had with their trainers.

The Sixth Generation is the most recent (2014). It's compounded by Pokémon X and PokémonY.
This generation introduced a new type: Fairy, which is strong against Dragon, which was the most powerful type until now. Old pokémon that were Normal type became fairy type, like Jigglypuff, famous befcause of  its appereances in Pokémon TV series.
Another interesting changes are the characterisation of our protagonist or visible haircuts in pokémon like Furfrou.

'Poké Recreo' is one of the new novelties. It allows you to feed your pokémon, pet it or to play. Eeevee evolves into Sylveon if we pet him in Poké Recreo and if we teach him a fairy type move.


Mega Evolution is an special evolution introduced in this generation that allows you to evolve your pokémon during a fighting using a special stone (not all pokémon can mega evolve)

This generation is one of the best for me because with Mega Evolutions, Nature, Abilities and a very big range og moves, it is possible to make wonderful strategies, train and breed a specific pokémon to make it perfect and fight with your team against people all over the world.
