Design Your Own Pokémon
Nate will use his creativity to design his own Pokémon. He will draw it, name it, and write a short description of its abilities and type. This activity encourages imagination and personal expression.

Talking Points
- "Did you know there are 18 different Pokémon types? Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses!"
- "When you create your own Pokémon, think about what makes it unique. What type will it be? What special abilities will it have?"
- "In battles, using the right type against your opponent can give you a big advantage! For example, Water types are strong against Fire types."
- "What strategies do you think are important in a Pokémon battle? It's not just about having strong Pokémon, but also about knowing how to use them!"
- "You can always improve your Pokémon by training them and evolving them! Just like in real life, practice makes perfect!"
