The game uses a top-down RPG structure. Players travel through towns, routes, caves, and ruins, speaking with NPCs to advance the story and entering turn-based Pokémon battles. The core loop revolves around catching, training, evolving, and building a balanced team, then using type matchups to clear gym-style challenges, story bosses, and wild encounters. Progress is typically gated by badges, new area access, and scripted quest events.
