But as I said before, it can get boring at times, and that's why Pokémon challenges exist! They bring a new twist or spice up that same old formula we've known for years and make the games actually interesting and engaging again. Of course, every game has its variables at the start and along the way you'll meet a very diverse cast of characters and face the unique challenges of that specific region, but at the end of the day, the formula that worked back in 1996 is still used over 25 years later for one reason and one reason only: it works.
You start your journey in a small town where the local Pokémon professor gives you and your rival your starter Pokémon and you both set on an adventure to become strong and fill the Pokedex as per the professor's request. Let's face it: the Pokémon formula can get boring at times.
