We threw Jordan a Pokémon Birthday Party in his Scotch Plains backyard, and this group of trainers showed up ready to catch, battle, and work their way toward Pokémon Master.
We set the hour up as three stations in the yard. Kids train in the Dojo, earn coins in the Arcade, and battle in the Arena, catching Pokémon the whole time and adding them to their collection as they rotate.
The Dojo And The Arena
The Dojo is all physical training, the Arcade is where they rack up coins, and the Arena is where they actually face their friends. They keep looping those stations, building up a team as they go, and whoever leaves with the strongest collection is the one racing to be Pokémon Master.
