BACKSTORY

You are the trainer Gold! Professor Elm is undertaking more research regarding Pokemon and their bond between their trainers, and needs help. He is testing passive ways of levelling and nurturing Pokemon that does not require battling. Since Professor Oak labels you as a master hatcher, you agree to assist Elm in hatching and caring for Pokemon by simply walking with them. Professor Elm gives you a new Pokedex with a pedometer that converts your steps into experience for Pokemon.

Your research will not only help Professor Elm understand more about the importance of Pokemon bonding without battles, but also more about baby Pokemon and incredibly rare evidence of seldom seen Pokemon!

TUTORIAL

Playing the game is fairly simple - so simple I haven't coded in any tutorials or such. Simply hit COLLECT on the home screen to synchronize your steps with those in your phone. From there, you can use those steps to purchase items (POKEMART), or hatch and level your pokemon.

HATCHING/LEVELING

To hatch/level your pokemon, click POKEMON on the home screen. From there click any of your Pokemon, and there will be a status screen. The third partition has an entry box, which allows you to enter steps. If your hatching an egg, it will cap at the amount of steps left to hatch OR your maximum steps. If you're leveling a pokemon, it will cap at the max exp OR your maximum steps.

EVOLVING

If your Pokemon is legible to evolve, an EVOLVE button will appear next to happiness on the first partition. It will evolve when the button is pressed, and will take the necessary items it needs to do so. For Pokemon with multiple evolutions, a choice will be given to you to pick from the evolutions. You will have the option to get multiple eggs of the same Pokemon, correlating on branched evolutions. It is recommended you evolve Pokemon so you have one of each branch evolution, otherwise you will not be able to complete the Pokedex.

Pokemon that evolve via trade (or trading with items) will require a Link Cable from the POKEMART. Tyrogue will evolve into its evolutions regardless of its stats.

TEAMS

Most of the notable trainers within the G/S/C games have collectable teams. You can check these within the TEAMS screen. Each time you complete a team, you will gain a MULTIPLIER to your steps, which caps at 2.5x your original step amount (+0.1 for each completed team). Completing teams helps greatly with leveling pokemon and topping the leader board. 

LEADERBOARD

Each of the notable trainers also has a spot on the leaderboard. This leaderboard is a custom algorithm which updates once daily. The best trainers usually reside at the top, and sometimes break away from the pack with their sheer amount of steps, but sometimes a dark horse can ride through and match the pace of the big ones.
