The Pokmon games, on the surface they look like a simple Turn-Based RPG game with little substance, as many non-fans claim. This however, is far from the truth. There are hundreds of random variables and hidden variables utilised within the game that give it some of the most depth you shall ever see and this section, with its many pages is set out to show you as many of these variables as humanly possible and give you detailed guides and calculators to help you understand them. You can use the above drop-down menu to navigate, the right hand Toolbar or the general information on this page

There are many aspects of the game that require covering and so this section was created. The first we'll focus on are the core fundamentals of Pokmon. Each Pokmon has Individual Values set that help determine the strengths of the Pokmon. These can be calculated in our Individual Value Calculator. In addition to that, you have the ability to increase your Pokmon's stats by giving them Effort Values. These features both influence the Stats of the Pokmon. Pokmon are levelled up with Experience Points and you have the ability to Breed Pokmon to pass on natures, IVs and attacks.

Each individual Pokmon gets numerous aspects at random. These include Natures which boost and hinder the Pokmon's stats. They have a varying Happiness value which helps some Pokmon evolve, and helps boost certain attacks. Each Pokmon has a set Ability which can help give it a unique boost in battle, especially when used in conjunction with specific attacks. Each Pokmon has a chance to be an Alternate Coloured (Shiny) Pokmon which gives it an alternate look and essentially have a good trade price. Finally, a significant portion of Pokmon have numerous Alternate Forms that they have the ability to switch to.

Battling is the core aspect of Pokmon and as such, there are numerous aspects to consider. First, each Pokmon has Stats that help determine the damage calculated. Type Compatibility also is factored in with weaknesses and resistances of the many Pokmon. In addition to that, there are Status Ailments inflicted and the possibility of Critical Hits. Speed Priority also helps determine when your Pokmon will attack.
