How to play pokemon on your computer

First, you want to go to the website. You can either look up "Pokemon Showdown", or enter this URL into your website.

If you correctly entered the website, a site called "Pokemon Showdown Beta!" should come up. Go to the right hand side of the site and press "Choose name". You need to choose a name to play a game.

Now that you've picked your name, you can now battle other online players! Battle either a random opponent, as a team, in a ladder, or play another user if you know their username.

This screen should pop up. You are now battling another user with random Pokemon! Unfortunately, this website is Pokemon battle based only, but it is still fun and brings nostalgic memories!

If you find you are having trouble defeating other opponents, I recommend using this website: http://pokemondb.net/type to find Pokemon types, their weaknesses, and their strengths!
