The Pokémon in the battles never bleed or die they only faint. It is also possible to trade Pokémon with a friend. They allow the player to catch the monsters, train them to make them better and attack other monsters so that they get better abilities and possibly evolve into different Pokémon. The Pokémon games involve making decisions about what to do and when to do it. In the United States and Europe, the number of Pokémon was 151 from the beginning. When the idea was invented, there were only 150 Pokémon, which was upgraded to 151 (including Mew) when the Blue version in Japan was released. There are currently 898 monsters, with Pokémon Sword and Shield. The Pokémon franchise is now made up of animated television programs ( anime), Japanese comic books ( manga), trading cards, and toys but, most importantly, the video games.
