Section 1: The Intro To Pokemon

Now I'm going to assume that most people have heard of Pokemon.  Maybe not much but in someway in some form they have heard of Pokemon.  In is origin, the adventures of a young lad who leaves home at ten and travels the world catching Pokemon.  The idea has been likened to insect collecting.  ( http://pokedream.com/pokemon/infocenter/tajiri.php )  The difference being Pokemon have elemental abilities.  Fire, Earth, Electric, Flying etc.  Each of these elemental abilities has a strength against and a weakness to another type.  The goal of the Pokemon universe whether that be in the game, in the show or in the card game is two things.  To completely fill the Pokedex, your electronic encyclopedia of Pokemon, and/or assemble the strongest team of six Pokemon you can, defeat every other trainer's team, and become the Pokemon Master.  Its really not complicated.  In fact if the complexity ended here Pokemon would not be as popular as it is.
