It's important to note that this is not a party in the social sense. You don't actually throw parties with your Pokémon in these games.
Here's a breakdown:
* Pokémon Party: This is the six Pokémon you can currently switch between during battles.
* PC Box: You can store additional Pokémon in your PC Box, which is like a storage system for your Pokémon.
* Team: The term "team" can be used interchangeably with "party."
* Active Pokémon: The Pokémon you are currently using in battle is your active Pokémon.
Essentially, your "party" is your core group of battling Pokémon that you use throughout the game. You can switch between the Pokémon in your party during battles to take advantage of their different strengths and weaknesses.
