What is a Pokémon
A Pokémon is a creature based on various plants, animals, objects, and other concepts, that inhabits every corner of the world.
There are currently 1010 Pokémon species divided into 9 Generations.
Pokémon can be found in different biomes or times of the day depending on the variant, other can change shape if they get in contact with special items, and a selected number of them can only be obtained by generating a specific interaction.

Pokémon are friends and partners to players, they fight alongside us in battles and grow as we gain experience as Trainers.
Most Pokémon begin their lives as 25pxEggs, and many of them will evolve to grow stronger and larger during their lives. It is possible for some of them to temporarily assume a different, more powerful form during battles, or change appearance depending on the weather, the item held or other conditions.
Pokémon within the same species can be found in many different growths, the size is only cosmetic and does not affect any other stat of the Pokémon while in battle. However, the Pokémon size is not just decided by its growth, all Pokémon grow in size as they level up, becoming considerably bigger as their level increases.
A small number of Pokémon, much more powerful than others, have passed into legends told all around the world. Many of them are said to share the power of gods, so have been sealed because deemed too powerful. It is unclear whether or not some of them are connected with each other, but some myths report the existence of Groups, legends with similar powers and pasts.
Hunger
All Pokémon have a hidden hunger bar.
Pokémon can eat anything the player can eat, and will become fuller the more Food they eat. Once full, a Pokémon will refuse to eat again for a while, rejecting any food offered to them.
Food is mainly used for Breeding, Pokémon breeding takes less time the fuller the Pokémon are.
It is also possible to feed Pokémon by throwing them out of the Ball (R key). When full, there is a small chance the Pokémon will try to remember a move they forgot or even learn a new move from their Move Tutor movepool.
Food can also be stored inside 25pxFeeders to let owned Pokémon eat by themselves.
Even if all Pokémon seem to be strangely attracted to 
Rare Candies, it is not one of their favourite foods.
Catching
All Pokémon can be befriended by catching them inside a Poké Ball, a small confortable item that allows them to rest while keeping them safe and making them easier to transport.
Pokéballs exist in many different forms and shapes, each with its own unique effect. They can all be crafted starting from Apricorns.
Drops
Each Pokémon drops some items upon defeat, mainly 25pxType-based candies and 
Berries, and more rarely items of sorts.

Spawning
While walking around the world, you will find Pokémon of all sizes and forms run, swim and fly freely. Most of them will run away at your passage, but be aware that some might become aggressive and try to challenge you in a battle.
- Main article: Spawning
It is not possible to determine the exact moment when a Pokémon will spawn, but it is possible to know each species preferences by checking their Pokédex page.
Different Pokémon lives in a different biomes, wake up at different times of the day, and spawn in different locations, even underground!
These differences can also be found inside Pokémon of the same species. Different forms have different habits and, even if they often share similar biomes with their other forms, have often different rarities and spawn times.
