Everything is Rock Paper Scissors: Pokemon

A game that I have played before that I can relate to Rock, Paper, Scissors is the Pokemon Card Games and Video Games. They relate to Rock, Paper, Scissors in a sense that each Pokemon has a "type" such as fire or water and that "type" is both strong against other "types" and weak against different "types." For example, a Pokemon with the Fire type is strong against a Pokemon with the Grass type or Bug type, and weak against a Pokemon with the Water type or Rock type.



This is just like Rock, Paper, Scissors, since each of these three hand symbols wins against one other hand symbol and loses against the other. Pokemon is more elaborate since there is more than 3 types of Pokemon, and each one has more than one strength and weakness. Still, it can be simple to understand and requires some form of strategy when you are facing opposing Pokemon of various types.
