Let me be the first to say that you sir are a gentleman. The Pokemon game totally rocked in my third grade class. They were noisy and shouting and wouldn't respond to my bells for quiet, but that's a good thing; they're usually quiet and try to fly under the radar. I pretended to be angry with them, but my co-teacher and I were secretly patting ourselves on the back. Having the poke ball shake around a bit before revealing the Pokemon was pure genius. It built up anticipation and I don't know any of the monsters beyond the original 150, but there were a lot of good controversy as to which monster merited certain XP. I wasn't sure about the Team Rocket part, but it worked out brilliantly when one team was collecting too much XP and everybody was brought back to a clean slate. Overall, brilliant game. My favorite bomb game so far. Look forward to what else you've got cooking for us.
This looks awesome and I'm sure my kids will absolutely love it! Want to use it for my Grade 4 class on Friday... I downloaded the fonts and did everything as you said but I don't have any points on mine... just the Pokemon appearing from the bubble. I saw on the preview slides that there were xp points on the slides... I don't know where I've gone wrong?
:o Phenomenal. Thanks for an amazing game.I had one glitch with the Team Rocket slide. Clicking the 'R' does not send me back to the homepage; there is no link that I can find on the Team Rocket slide.Cheers
So I restarted my computer and it seems to be working!Thank you ;-)Can't wait to see their faces on Friday !

This is beautiful, it brings back memories. Does this only work for Windows, or am I missing something?Mac user here...the Pokeball seems to shake forever and that's all it seems to do?
This is by far one of the best PPT game I've come across this site and that's no insult to the other great PPT's out there. The opening sequences, music, and innovation is awesome! Thanks for the upload Spirte06.
Niiiice!It might be worth putting a warning in your FAQ to people NOT to download the fonts directly to the "Fonts" directory. "Fonts" isn't a directory per se, and any means of directly adding stuff to it such as by downloading will cause the font install to fail. You have to "copy" it using Windows (copy & paste, or drag & drop) for it to use its dark magic powers.
Excellent!! Can't wait to use it in class.
Great powerpoint.Made a version of this game to practice simple elementary level personal pronouns:
