BEGINNING
With Pixelmon installed and rearing to go, and you've loaded up your beautiful minecraft scenery, pokemon will be running around ceaselessly in the green blocky hills. First a dialog will appear prompting you to pick your starter pokemon! Thankfully in Pixelmon we don't have some strange-looking professor giving us our pokemon. That selected, the pokemon you chose will appear in your very own party tab, on the left of your screen. With default controls, O is to change the size of detail in the party bar on the left - though I recommend you change all the default controls in the menu though, because PEOPLE KEEP CHANGING THE KEYS. Now point in a direction, and press R (again, default keys) and your pokemon will be thrown out violently in front of you! Look at that little fella', looking at you all beady eyed, that cute little squirtle. Its a squirtle.
Anyway, now lets get to battling! The ultimate trial of violence for fun sport in the pokemon universe! Challenging a pokemon or a trainer to battle is simple ~ point at the pokemon, and toss out your pokemon so the pokeball hits the opponent. Sounds easy, huh? Won't be as easy when you're aiming at a fleeing rattata, but you have fun with that later. It starts the battle! With the expertly drawn menu at the bottom, you will have interactions with the battle uncannily similar to that of the original games. What a coincidence! You will be given the choice of fighting, using an item from your bag, switching pokemon, or running for your merry life! Choosing fight will give you the choice of moves to fight your opponent, and that is that.
TIME TO CATCH POKEMANZ
To catch pokemon, we are going to need some pokeballs. We will need to craft these! First off, you will need apricorns. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes! ... Well actually, all are the same size, but that sounded better. Apricorn trees are scattered throughout your game world, BUT WAIT. Don't shatter your apricorn trees ruthlessly, as that would destroy the pore trees. Right click them to get the apricorn while still allowing the tree to produce more at a later date. Now that we have the apricorns, they must be cooked. Placing them in a furnace with fuel, and 10 seconds of sizzling later, we have a cooked apricorn! You will need 3 though, so make with the apricorn. Now with 3 cooked apricorns, using the crafting table, create yourself a pokeball disk with the following recipe:CLICK HERE FOR RECIPE
Now you need a hammer:CLICK HERE FOR RECIPE
And voila! A pokeball! While engaged in battle to a pokemon, go to your bag and you will find the pokeballs! Use one, and it will attempt to capture the pokemon you are battling! If you have weakened or given a status problem to your opponent, this will be much more likely to succeed. WHEN you do successfully capture the pokemon, its yours to use!
