Class Pokemon

java.lang.Object

Pokemon

public class Pokemon
extends java.lang.Object

Class that implements a Pokemon.

Let's play Pokemon! This is our Pokemon class. Each Pokemon has several member variables that make it a Pokemon. Each Pokemon has:

• a name
• a number of hit points that decrement as the game continues
• up to 50 points to split between attack and defense
• a 6-sided dice for calculating attack damage
• a 20-sided die for calculating attack bonuses and defense bonuses

Have a look through the Pokemon file to see how we can construct objects, can use member variables of these objects, and use objects of the same type to make our game.

public boolean attack(Pokemon opponent)

Attack another Pokemon.

Calling this method will cause this Pokemon to attack another Pokemon as follows:

• We get the attack bonus and defense bonus.
• We roll the d6 die 3 times to calculate the damage.
• We then compare to see if the attack hit or missed, and see if this was a fatal attack.

This is a good function to look through to see objects in action!
