Context

Many Pokémon games follow a Trainer exploring a region, meeting Pokémon, and developing a team. The Pokédex organizes information about the creatures encountered along the way.

Pokémon is one of my long-running interests. I founded the Pokémon Club at Muhlenberg College, where members shared the games, cards, and other parts of the franchise.

Examples

  • A club meeting might include trading Pokémon, playing the Trading Card Game, or discussing a new region.
