[Maybe he should back up a little.]

Pokemon are all over my world. Many people battle them - that's how a lot of people determine strength or settle arguments or just have fun. And before you ask, yes, the Pokemon enjoy it, too. Only a cruel trainer makes his Pokemon fight against their will.

Pokemon come in many different types. For example, Eevee here is a normal type, and will learn mostly normal type moves. Some people talk about Pokemon having different attributes - hit points or vitality, attack, defense, special attack, special defense, and speed. Each type has strengths and weaknesses - Eevee, as a pure normal type, is weak against fighting type attacks and immune to ghost type attacks. When she evolves - changes form - she'll turn into a different type, but that's not always the case.

Most trainers have a variety of types on their teams so that they can maximize their type coverage and not be stuck with a team that will fall to just one kind of attack. Some people specialize, but they're somewhat rarer. For example, in addition to Eevee I have Floette who's a fairy type, Golurk who's a ground and ghost type, Torkoal who's a fire type, and Sigilyph who's a psychic and flying type.
