"Yeah. So to recap, pokemon evolve in several different ways. Could be from an item, by knowing a specific move, or having a bond with their trainer, but most often it's because they hit a certain level.

And to get them to hit that level, you'll need to train them through battling. Which is the fun part of having these animals."

Not as fun as fighting your own battles, but a decent substitute.
