Common gameplay
The games ditch the turn based mechanics of Pokémon for a more open arena style gameplay. You are able to choose one of your Pokémon, one of which is always of the Squirtle line, as you can duel the opponent Pokémon. If you are dueling a wild Pokémon, when its health is flickering, you can attempt to press a button prompt and catch a Pokémon. Each game also has an open world region where you can mostly explore at your own pace and win gym battles, stop the resident evil team's operations and do side missions. Each game also has a post game where every post game has an ultra hard final boss against a surprise figure. The second game introduced a companion mechanic where you can befriend your one companion in the game and use their Pokémon to help you in duels by a button press. You are able to do the same to your companion by lending one of your Pokémon to help.
