You start out in Professor Oak’s lab, and have to pick your first Pokémon. Sound familiar? Well after a little bit of dialogue, you get to battle, and it gets interesting. The opposing Pokémon want to steal the professors special candy, and its up to you to stop them.

You have six slots you can fill with Pokémon from your inventory, but you only start with one. To catch new ones, you just drag the ball over the Pokémon when its energy is in the red. You select the defensive position for you characters, and you can move them during the battle, which is nice. You can also select from different attacks for each individual Pokémon.

The level cap is set for 10 at the moment, meaning you can level your guys up but not past ten. One cool thing is your Pokémon evolve, just like in the original. You get money for each enemy you kill, which you use to level your characters up.
