Pokemon vs RPS - Option 2

Pokemon is not only a successful television series, spawning movies, merchandise, and playing cards, but also a very popular video game series. Starting with the first generation Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue for the Gameboy, the series has evolved and advanced all the way to the newest fifth generation, Pokemon Black and Pokemon White for Nintendo DS. Although the series had undergone a vast amount of change over the years, one concept that has remained constant in each game is the choice of starting Pokemon for the player. Don't get me wrong, the names and breeds of the starters have varied from game to game, but their types have stayed consistent. Players have the choice of picking from three starters in every game. They can pick either a Grass Pokemon, like Bulbasaur or Chickorita, a Fire Pokemon, like Charmander or Cyndaquil, or a Water Pokemon, like Squirtle or Totodile. What's especially interesting about this concept of starting Pokemon is that it follows the similar mechanics of the game Rock, Paper, Scissors, by the means that each available choice is both dominant and inferior to another. It is a constant loop that makes the games both strategic and fun such that rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. In Pokemon though, Fire is dominant to Grass, Water is dominant to Fire, and Grass is dominant to Water. No choice is better or worse than another because each is just as likely to be superior or inferior. Just remember for both games to choose wisely because you never know how you're opponent will respond.
