Pokemon is a famous media franchise consisting of a TV series, video games, and movies. Pokemon battling consist of turn-based strategy where you try to make all of your opponent's Pokemon faint before you do. It surprisingly contains a lot of depth and strategy for how cartoon-like the Pokemon look. It is similar to chess in some ways, except that every turn, both players make their moves simultaneously, and players will want to make the best move possible given what move they think their opponent will make and the moves they think he/she might be considering.
