Pokémon (species)

Pokémon refer to the creatures that can be obtained in the successful Pokémon franchise. Currently, there are a total of types of Pokémon species, with about 100 or so new ones being introduced with each new generation, or series of games. In the firsts generation, which consisted of Pokémon Red and Blue, and the remake Pokémon Yellow, there were a total of 151 Pokémon.

Each Pokémon is categorized into a multitude of traits, including their type, color, weight, height, and so fourth. Most Pokémon can evolve into a more powerful species by leveling up, sort of like how a character in a traditional RPG can change into a more powerful class.

A Pokémono is seemingly named by what comes out of their mouth. Each Pokémon says their name and nothing else, excluding a select few who can actually speak english (example - Meowth). Others, such as Mewtwo and the ever popular Lucario can speak telepathically, but not directly to a human.
