🎮 Pokémon Battle Simulator

Welcome to the Pokémon Battle Simulator! This is a fun, command-line Java project that brings Pokémon battles to life while demonstrating core Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts. ⚔️

---

🚀 Quick Start

1. Compile the Project:

javac pokemon/*.java
javac -cp . trainer/Trainer.java
javac -cp . oak/OakJournal.java

2. Run the Simulator:

java oak.OakJournal

---

🗂️ Project Structure

pokemon/   → All Pokémon classes (abstract & concrete)
trainer/   → Trainer class (badge system)
oak/       → OakJournal (main controller & battle logic)

---

✨ Features

• 🔥 Multi-level Inheritance: Pokémon → Type Classes → Concrete Pokémon
• 🌱 Type Advantage System: Fire > Grass > Water > Fire
• 🏅 Badge System: Winners gain badges, losers lose badges
• 🥊 Multiple Battle Scenarios: Ash vs Gary, Ash vs Misty
• 🧩 OOP Design: Encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance

---

⚔️ Battle Mechanics

• 6 individual battles per showdown
• Type advantages = automatic win
• No advantage? Higher health wins
• Equal health = draw
• Most round wins = showdown winner

---

🖥️ Sample Output

=== POKEMON BATTLE SIMULATOR INITIALIZED ===
Welcome to the world of Pokemon battles!
========================================
Showdown: Ash Ketchum vs. Gary Oak
========================================
Round 1 (Flame vs. Forest): Winner is Ash Ketchum!
