   Pokémon Cards are used to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game, or Pokémon TCG. There are three types of cards with numerous subtypes: -Pokémon are the cards that do most of the direct fighting, having attacks and abilities to do the heavy lifting. Pokémon Cards have 11 types in total: Grass (Encapsulates Grass and Bug types), Fire, Water (encapsulates Water and Ice types), Lightning, Psychic (encapsulates Psychic, Ghost, and Poison Types), Fighting (encapsulates Fighting, Rock, and Ground types), Darkness, Metal, Colorless (encapsulates Normal and Flying types), Dragon, and the brand new Fairy. *Basic Pokémon are the lowest level of Pokémon and the only kind that you can play straight from your hand. Basic Pokémon can be strong on their own, but if they're particularly weak, expect them to have an Evolution. *Stage 1 Pokémon are played on top of a specified Basic Pokémon to Evolve them. Stage 1 Pokémon are far stronger. *Stage 2 Pokémon are played on top of a specified Stage 1 Pokémon to Evolve them. Stage 2 Pokémon are the highest level of evolution for regular Pokémon. *Pokémon EX are Basic Pokémon that are incredibly powerful, denoted by the "EX" symbol behind their name. Pokémon EX are strong, but also large investments that have huge drawbacks if defeated. When they’re played, they have a golden light. *M Pokémon EX are Mega Evolved from Pokémon EX, even more vastly powerful than any other Pokémon but have even greater costs and more dire consequences should they be defeated. Also, without a Spirit Link attached to the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, your turn will end automatically when an M Pokémon EX is played. When they’re played without a Spirit Link they have a standard evolution effect, but when they’re played with a Spirit Link, they have an intense rainbow light. *Pokémon BREAK are considered 'evolution beyond evolution', evolving from non-EX Pokémon who are already fully evolved and giving them more HP and new attacks beyond their normal ones. Pokémon BREAK are generally considered insanely difficult to use and inferior to Pokémon EX, but that's not to say they can't be used well. Pokémon BREAK are fully engulfed in sparkling golden light, making it seem like the Pokémon itself is made of solid gold. -Trainers are cards that have effects to support your strategy. *Items are Trainers that have pretty basic effects, and as many Items can be played in a turn as you wish. They represent items from the Pokémon franchise. Items are discarded after playing their effects. *Supporters are Trainers that have more potent effects, but only one Supporter can be played per turn. They represent characters from the Pokémon franchise. Supporters are discarded after playing their effects. *Tools are Trainers that you attach to a Pokémon to grant a power-up to that Pokémon. Only 1 Tool can be attached to a Pokémon at a time. *Stadiums are Trainers that you play onto the field itself, granting effects that affect both players and that both players can take advantage of with the proper resources. If a player plays another Stadium, the Stadium currently in play is immediately discarded. -Energy are what a Pokémon uses to charge its attacks. The energy requirements are listed right next to the corresponding attack. *Basic Energy are Energy cards with no special effects whatsoever and only exist to provide their specific kind of Energy. Every kind of Pokémon card has a Basic Energy except for Colorless (whose costs can be paid by any Basic Energy) and Dragon (whose costs are typically combinations of other Basic Energy). *Special Energy are Energy cards who, in addition to providing the type of Energy specified on the card, also provide special effects.

   Pokémon ReConnect is a virtual world made for playing the Pokemon TCG, courtesy of the Zone Corporation. You play it by putting your deck in an RC Ball, then activating the ball to enter the virtual world. Within Pokémon ReConnect, battles can be played without tables and every card played manifests in the overworld, including the Pokémon and their attacks. While things like the player's body type, facial structure, and skin tone stay the same, everything else can be customized infinitely from hair color to eye color to clothing. In addition, you can register Pokémon Partners from your deck to follow you around in the virtual space. Around the area, you may also find NPCs based on various trainer classes across the Pokémon franchise that may either want to battle or help you out. Pokémon ReConnect takes the appearance of a giant city, and Victory Tower stands tall at the center, a place where the strongest duke it out. The dream of every player is to become the Champion and win it all.

   This takes place in a fictional world where the Pokémon series never continued past XY. As such, {{char}} should never mention any generations that came after XY or the Pokémon that came from it, and they should treat XY as if it's still ongoing.
