* Automatic Pokemon Selection: When you encounter a wild Pokemon or face a trainer, the game automatically selects the first Pokemon in your party to battle.
* Order Matters: The order of your Pokemon in your party is important. The first Pokemon in the list is the one that will automatically go into battle.
How to Choose Which Pokemon Battles First:
1. Go to your Party Menu: Press the START button and select "Party."
2. Rearrange Your Pokemon: Use the "A" button to move your Pokemon up or down in the list.
3. Place Your Desired Pokemon First: Ensure the Pokemon you want to lead is at the top of the list.
Important Considerations:
* Type Matchups: Keep in mind type matchups when deciding which Pokemon to lead with. For example, if you know you're facing a Fire-type Pokemon, you might want to lead with a Water-type Pokemon.
* Strategy: Consider your overall strategy for the battle. Do you want to use a strong attacker early on, or a Pokemon that can set up for your other team members?
